Abstract

The graphical user interface attached functions to an icon and by navigating to that icon a mouse could access the functionality of that icon. The pointer movement alone interface PI revealed the operation of the GUI should be by attaching functions directly to the pointer movement alone and that using icons and accessing functionality of a GUI through icons was inefficient because the pointer had to move to the icon to access the functionality and the pointer movement alone could have execute the same functionality of the icon from where the pointer was located without wasting the movement to the icon. Thus the user would move in one direction of movement which indicated user intention and the graphics and subsequent functionality of tile screen would change to respond deductively to that preceding movement to present the one or more options organised in the most efficient way such that every possible function that the user would wish to execute would be available in a subsequent movement but the most likely choices would require the least subsequent movement. Every subsequent movement after this initial intentional movement could be used to clarify (i.e. present options that confirm and further specify the user choices or correct - allow the user to indicate the wrong movement choice has been made) and by continuing to use the system the user could always achieve every task done correctly on the computer.
