Abstract
A hand-held electronic device, method of operation and computer readable medium are disclosed. The device may include a case having one or more major surfaces. A visual display and a touch pad are disposed on at least one of the major surfaces. A processor is operably coupled to the visual display and touch screen. Instructions executable by the processor may be configured to: a) present an image on the visual display containing one or more active elements; b) divide the image into one or more regions that fill the display, wherein each region corresponds to a different active element; c) correlating an active element in the image on the visual display to a corresponding active portion of the touch interface; and d) activate one of the one or more active elements in response to a touch to a corresponding one of the active portions of the touch interface.
