Original Abstract Submitted
A method for a touch-sensitive display device includes detecting a first real-world movement of a stylus from a first surface position to a second surface position separated from the first surface position by a first real-world movement distance. The first real-world movement is translated into a first virtual movement from a first virtual input position to a second virtual input position using an absolute movement translation. Based on one or more movement translation context parameters, movement translation is switched from the absolute movement translation to a relative movement translation. A second real-world movement of the stylus is detected from the second surface position to a third surface position separated from the second surface position by a second real-world movement distance. The second real-world movement is translated into a corresponding second virtual movement from the second virtual input position to a third virtual input position using the relative movement translation.
