Abstract:
1. A cursor positioning control device comprising: a cursor movement measuring unit configured to measure a measurement value corresponding to a movement amount of a cursor on a display every certain time; a cursor deceleration determination unit configured to subtract an N-th measurement value from an (N−1)-th measurement value of the cursor movement measuring unit, and configured to determine that the cursor is being decelerated if the subtracted value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, wherein N is a natural number, wherein when a number of successive times that the subtracted value is greater than the predetermined threshold value exceeds a predetermined number of times, the cursor deceleration determination unit generates an instruction signal for at least further decelerating a movement of the cursor to a value less than a cursor movement deceleration speed that a user instructs; wherein the cursor if the number of successive times that the subtracted value is greater than the predetermined threshold value does not exceed the predetermined number of times, the cursor deceleration determination unit also does not generate the instruction signal for at least further decelerating the movement of the cursor to the value less than the cursor movement deceleration speed that the user instructs.
