Abstract

The invention provides a method for adapting sensitivity of a pointing device and a related image evaluation device (1). The pointing device is connected to a processor configured to execute a plurality of application workflows (A1, A2, . . . , An), and to a display configured to display a cursor. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a default sensitivity (S) of the pointing device; determining one of the plurality of application workflows (A1, A2, . . . , An) which is to be executed, said application workflow being the currently-active application workflow (Ai); receiving or determining a target sensitivity (Si) for the currently-active application workflow (Ai); receiving or determining a correction factor (Fi) for the currently-active application workflow based on the target sensitivity (Si) for the currently-active application workflow (Ai) and the default sensitivity (S); receiving a current position (x1,y1) of the cursor; detecting delta coordinates (Δx,Δy) inputted by an operation made by the user on the pointing device in order to move the cursor on the display during execution of the currently-active application workflow (Ai); and computing, in response to the operation of the user on the pointing device, a new position of the cursor on the display based on the current position (x1,y1) of the cursor, the delta coordinates (Δx,Δy) and the correction factor (Fi) for the currently-active application workflow (Ai).
