Abstract:
1. A computer readable medium including instructions readable by a computer which, when implemented by a processor, causes the computer to process positional information by performing the steps of: receiving positional information from a computer input device comprising a base, a movable member displaceable relative to the base, and a sensor operably coupled to the movable member, the sensor providing an output signal indicative of a position of the movable member relative to the base; defining movements of the movable member relative to the base as within an absolute motion region and a relative motion region, wherein the positional information is based on the regions, and wherein the movable member has a displacement relative to a home position in the relative motion region; detecting a return stroke of the movable member to a selected position; and inhibiting providing positional information during at least part of the return stroke.
