Abstract
A method is provided for receiving an input on a touch-sensitive field, wherein the field is set up to determine the location of a touch of the field by a user's finger, wherein the touch-sensitive field includes a tactile threshold. The threshold is arranged such that at least one area of the touch-sensitive field lies on each side thereof. The method detects a movement of the user's finger on the touch-sensitive field which crosses the threshold, and activates a function in response to the detection.
