Abstract: An electronic device has a display and has a touch sensitive bezel surrounding the display. Areas on the bezel are designated for controls used to operate the electronic device. Visual guides corresponding to the controls are displayed on the display adjacent the areas of the bezel designated for the controls. Touch data is generated by the bezel when a user touches an area of the bezel. The device determines which of the controls has been selected based on which designated area is associated with the touch data from the bezel. The device then initiates the determined control. The device can have a sensor for determining the orientation of the device. Based on the orientation, the device can alter the areas designated on the bezel for the controls and can alter the location of the visual guides for the display so that they match the altered areas on the bezel.

Abstract translation: 电子设备具有显示器并且具有围绕显示器的触敏面板。 表圈上的区域被指定用于操作电子设备的控制。 与控件相对应的视觉指南显示在与控件指定的挡板区域相邻的显示屏上。 当用户触摸挡板的区域时，触摸数据由挡板生成。 设备基于哪个指定区域与来自边框的触摸数据相关联来确定已经选择了哪个控件。 然后，设备启动确定的控制。 该装置可以具有用于确定装置的取向的传感器。 基于方向，设备可以改变控制面板上指定的区域，并可以改变显示器的视觉指南的位置，使其与挡板上的改变区域相匹配。
