Abstract

A portable electronic device comprises a housing, a moveable touchscreen display constrained by the housing, the touchscreen display including a touch-sensitive input surface overlying a display device, a single mechanical switch disposed between a back surface of the touchscreen display and a base of the housing, and operational components including a processor within the housing and connected to the touchscreen display and the single mechanical switch. The touchscreen display moves relative to the base in response to application of sufficient force to the touchscreen display resulting in actuation of the single mechanical switch.; A method of controlling the portable electronic device includes providing a graphical user interface for user interaction, receiving input from the touchscreen display and the single mechanical switch, and providing output to the display device responsive to receipt of a combination of the input from the touchscreen display and the single mechanical switch.

Description

technical field [0001] This application generally relates to input and output devices for portable electronic devices. Background technique [0002] Portable electronic devices are in widespread use and provide a variety of functions including, for example, telephony, electronic messaging, and other personal information manager (PIM) application functions. Portable electronic devices may include several device types (including mobile stations such as simple cellular phones, smart phones, wireless PDAs, and laptop computers with wireless 802.11 or Bluetooth capabilities). These devices operate on a variety of networks ranging from data-only networks such as Mobitex and DataTAC, to composite voice and data networks such as GSM / GPRS, CDMA, EDGE, UMTS and CDMA2000 networks. [0003] Devices such as PDAs or smart phones are generally intended for handheld use and easy portability. Smaller devices are often desired for portability. Touch screen input / output devices are especial...
