Abstract
Improved management of feature based user input routing in a multi-processor architecture is provided. A portable communication device comprises a primary processor controlling a primary operating system, a secondary processor controlling a secondary operating system, and a user interface input control operatively coupled to the primary processor. The user interface input control is configured to enable a radio function and a secondary user input extension associated therewith. The primary processor selectively determines processing of a radio function by one of the primary and secondary processors based on activation of the user interface input control in conjunction with the user input interface extension.
