Abstract
A remote control is described herein that is configured to sense a variety of user input types on a specific button and that can also sense a variety of user input types on a click pad or region/location of the click pad. By utilizing these capabilities, the remote control can provide a very powerful and versatile user interface. Furthermore, the foregoing can be achieved with only a relatively small number of buttons, thus also providing a user interface that is simple, clean and elegant.
