<p>Devices and methods are disclosed which relate to controlling the interface of a communications device using edge sensors that detect finger placement and movements. The invention combines edge sensors and outputs with left / right hand detection and an associated soft key adaptation. This combination allows a user to make handset inputs, such as display control functions, on the interface using finger placement combinations and motions. The approach may be applied to communications devices such as cellular telephones, PDAs, Tablet PCs, etc. as well as other handheld devices including, but not limited to, those used for GPS, package tracking and musical instruments. The combination user interface approach may be applied to any soft keys, on either side or edge of the device, for any function.</p> |
