Abstract
The management device embodying the invention uses a control source consisting in a touch-sensitive work board comprising a touch-sensitive surface and a means enabling detection of a force on said surface. It further comprises a selection means enabling switching from the relative pointing mode to the absolute pointing mode depending on whether the force exerted exceeds or is less than a predetermined threshold value. The invention enables the advantages of the two pointing modes to be accumulated.
