Abstract
A method of triggering a hover event for a pointer in a user interface on a display device begins by predicting a future position of the pointer on the user interface. A likelihood that the pointer will hover over a screen object is determined based on the predicting. Finally, a hover event for the screen object is triggered based on the determined likelihood that the pointer will hover over the screen object.
