Abstract
This invention describes a method for changing a keypad layout with keys (e.g., graphics and text) drawn on a display of an electronic device (e.g., wireless portable device, a mobile communication device or a mobile phone) and actuating said keys by a user of the electronic device using a transparent or translucent sensor-screen placed over said keys which are visible by the user. The transparent or translucent sensor-screen can be positioned partially or completely over the display. This invention enables different application/feature specific keypad configurations (shape, size, orientation, number of keys) for mobile devices.
