Patent ID: 8319728

Claim:
A method of detecting a correlation of input device movements, sent from a first location, with at least one configurable position-independent movement parameter set on a remote computer at a second location remote from the first location, the method comprising: sending first movement information from the first location to the remote computer at the second location, the first movement information corresponding to a first movement of an input device; tracking, in circuitry at the first location, in response to the remote computer having received the first movement information and utilized the at least one configurable position-independent movement parameter, a resulting movement of a cursor of the remote computer at the second location from a first display location to a second display location; calculating, in circuitry at the first location, predicted movements of the cursor of the remote computer utilizing at least two possible values for the at least one configurable position-independent movement parameter and the first movement information, wherein a first predicted movement corresponds to an amount of movement of the cursor in response to the first movement information when the at least one configurable position-independent movement parameter is set to a first value, and a second predicted movement corresponds to an amount of movement of the cursor in response to the first movement information when the at least one configurable position-independent movement parameter is set to a second value different than the first value; and determining, in circuitry at the first location, which of the first and second predicted movements most closely matches the resulting movement of the cursor from the first display location to the second display location.
