Abstract
Systems and methods for providing an auxiliary user input device () for use with a mobile electronic device (). The methods involve: releasably securing () a first device () comprising a resistive touch screen () to a second device () comprising a capacitive touch screen (), in a position wherein a primary plane of the capacitive touch screen is substantially aligned in parallel and subjacent to a primary plane of the resistive touch screen; establishing () a communication link () between a first communications interface () in the first device and a second communications interface () in the second device; generating resistive touch screen output data in response to user input received () at the resistive touch screen; and communicating () the resistive touch screen output data from the first device to the second device via the communication link.
