INPUT DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS GESTURING WITHIN A USER INTERFACE

摘要

An input device for a graphical user interface in a handheld mobile communications device. The navigation system comprises a trackball for generating trackball input when the trackball is actuated, a detector, proximate to and cooperating with the trackball, for generating detector input when the detector is actuated, and a processor to convert the trackball input and the detection input into a composite input signal for controlling a function in the graphical user interface.
