The present invention relates to a method of providing input to an electronic unit comprising a touch-sensitive surface that is configured for registering application of touch by a flexible unit and a toy comprising an electronic unit comprising a touch-sensitive surface and a structure; the structure configured from a material that cannot be registered by the touch-sensitive surface, and it comprises, either at the periphery or within the periphery, at least one marked position. One or more flexible units that comprise(s) material that can be registered by the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the one or more flexible units extend(s) past the top side of the structure and to the bottom side of the structure, to the effect that the registration of a flexible unit is conditioned by the configuration of the at least one marked position.

Pattern recognition with a non-detectable stencil on the touch-sensitive surface

A toy system comprising one or more toy elements configured to be detectable by a touch screen when brought within a proximity of the touch screen; and a computing device configured to: detect said one or more toy elements within a proximity of the touch screen; detect, in addition to detecting said one or more toy elements, one or more further touch events on the touch screen in a first predetermined spatial relationship to the detected one or more toy elements; and responsive to the detection of said one or more further touch events on the touch screen in said first predetermined spatial relationship to the detected one or more toy elements, to cause a user-perceptible output.
