A mobile device has a user interface comprising a plurality of keys arranged in a plurality of groups. A processor is operatively coupled to the user input device to receive user input from the user input device and to identify which group of keys has received the user input. A display is operatively coupled to the processor for displaying characters corresponding to the keys of the group in response to the user input. The keys may have capacitive touch sensors with haptic feedback.

Hybrid keyboard for mobile device

An electronic device includes a touch-sensitive display including a plurality of touch sensors configured to detect touches on the touch-sensitive display. The touch sensors include a plurality of touch sensor jumpers that are spaced apart in the touch-sensitive display. The touch-sensor jumpers include attributes to facilitate identification of a location of a stylus relative to the jumpers. The stylus includes a device configured to obtain data relating to an attribute of at least one of the touch sensor jumpers of the touch-sensitive display, a processor operably coupled to the device to receive the data, and a transmitter operably coupled to the processor and configured to transmit to the electronic device, information based on the data. The electronic device includes a receiver that receives the information and a processor that is configured to determine the location of the stylus based on the information.
