Abstract
A system for emulating a mouse button event via an absolute coordinate input device. The system includes a computer having an operating system capable of receiving mouse type relative coordinate input commands from an absolute coordinate input device adapted to generate coordinate data in response to a finger touch down event. A controller is operably connected to the coordinate input device and adapted to resolve left and right mouse button touch down events and respective coordinate data for such events.
