摘要 |
The invention relates to a user interface for controlling an electronic device. The user interface includes a sensor element that has a sensor surface and is arranged to form a location indicator that indicates a location of a spot of the sensor surface that is closest to an external object. A force sensor is arranged to form a force indicator that indicates strength of a force directed to the sensor surface. A processor unit is arranged to control the electronic device on the basis of the location indicator and the force indicator. A user of the electronic device is enabled to control the electronic device by using different levels of the force directed to the sensor surface. Therefore, the electronic device can be controlled with a smaller number of repetitive pressing and release actions.
