Abstract :
The latest research proposed a novel computer input device that adopted Screen-Partitioning method to improve people with disabilities pointing efficiency. The disabled people could use a commercial numerical keyboard as the input device of the device instead of special-design device. However, the effect of the latest research in moving mouse cursor is likely weak when a target is extremely small or the resolution of computer screen is too high. This study proposed a novel method by using Screen-Partitioning and Mousekeys method to improve the efficiency of movement.
