SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CALIBRATABLE TRANSLATION OF POSITION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for translating a position input by a user to a first device to a position output of a second device, comprising:
- defining an area of the first device in which input by the user is expected, where the area is less than a total area of the first device, and where the area has a boundary with at least one non-linear side;
receiving position input in the defined area of the first device; and
translating the position input by the user to the first device to the position output of the second device based on a translation method.

Abstract
A calibratable system for translating a position input by a user to a first device to a position output of a second device includes a translation module and a calibration module. The translation module receives the position input by the user to the first device and that translates the position input to position output for the second device based on a plurality of parameters and a translation method. The calibration module selectively generates the plurality of parameters based on a calibration method that commands the user to move the position input to locations defined by the calibration method.

9. A method for translating a position input from an appendage of a user on a touchpad to a position on a display having a rectangular shape, comprising:
-
defining an area on the touchpad in which input movement by the appendage of the user is expected based upon the natural movement of joints associated with the appendage; receiving the position input in the area on the touchpad; and translating the position input in the area on the touchpad to the position on the display using a translation method. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 30, 32)
