Method and device for adaptable touch recognition in a touch-sensitive user interface

摘要

This invention creates a method and device for defining extended touch zones for active control keys on a field with a touch-sensitive user interface. The field with the touch-sensitive user interface has one or more active control key display areas, each of which displays a currently active control key. Each active control key displays an active control function, which is available for selection by a user. The user selects a desired active control function by touching the field with the application interface with a probe in a place which corresponds to a touch zone which is defined for the active control key which displays the desired active control function. Extended touch zones for every active control key are defined, and the extended control zone for every active control key has a larger area than the corresponding display surface for the control key. If the user touches the field with the interface with the probe, a decision is made about whether the probe has touched an extended touch zone for any active control key, and if so, the active control function which is represented by the active control key which corresponds to the extended touch zone which was touched by the probe is selected, and if not, a display is provided that ...
