Method and handheld electronic device including first input component and second touch sensitive input component

摘要

A handheld electronic device (4;4') includes a housing (6) having a surface (29); a first input component (24;24') having input members (28;28') disposed external to the surface; a second touch sensitive input component (26;26') disposed about the input members (28,28'), the touch sensitive input component being separate and distinct from the input members and the first input component and being structured (200;300) to provide one of: a contact point (209) with respect to the surface responsive to actuation of a first number of the input members, and a number of responses (31') responsive to actuation of a second number of the input members. A processor (17) cooperates with the first input component and the touch sensitive input component to determine (204;304) if a plurality of the input members are actuated contemporaneously and to output (216;316) a representation of a single one of the input members based upon one of: the contact point (209), and the number of responses (31').
