Abstract
A pointing device system includes a moveable puck, a first surface on which a puck field of motion is defined, a controller, and a pressure-sensing mechanism. The pressure sensing mechanism measures an amount of pressure applied to the puck. The controller determines whether the measured amount of pressure meets a touch threshold value or a click threshold value. The touch threshold value is re-calculated when the measured amount of pressure meets or exceeds the previous touch threshold value but does not meet the click threshold value. The click threshold value is re-calculated when the measured amount of pressure meets the previous click threshold value. Changes in a position of the puck or a review of previously measured pressure values or events may also be analyzed prior to re-calculating the touch or click threshold values.
