Patent ID: 6950090

Claim:
An interface for transferring signals from a hand-operated signal generator to a data processing device, said hand-operated signal generator being capable of delivering at least two groups of signals for imparting, respectively, at least two different forms of motion on an image on a display ( 3 ) associated with the data processing device, in which each signal group corresponds with at least one specific mode of operation of the signal generator ( 1 ) associated with said signal group, characterized in that said interface comprises: value determining means for determining a value for each signal group on the basis of signals in the signal group generated by the hand-operated signal generator; relevance determining means connected to the value determining means for ascertaining which of the at least two signal groups is more relevant than the others of the at least two signal groups based on the values determined by the value determining means; and transfer means for transferring, in response to an output signal from the relevance determining means, the signals of the signal group ascertained as being more relevant by the relevance determining means, and blocking the transfer of the signals of all other of the at least two signal groups.
