Abstract
A device having a first side; a second side; a display configured to display any of a plurality of images on the first side; and a touch-sensitive input device disposed on the second side, wherein the touch-sensitive input device comprises a mapped touch area and an adjustment touch area. The device operation comprises obtaining an initial mapping that relates touch points of the mapped touch area to corresponding display points of a mapped area of the display, wherein the mapped area of the display is smaller than a total area of the display and has an initial position with respect to the display. First touch input data is received from the adjustment touch area, and a current position of the mapped area of the display is produced by adjusting the initial position of the mapped area of the display based on the first touch input data. A current mapping is produced by adjusting the initial mapping based on the current position of the mapped area. Second touch input data is received from the mapped touch area. The second touch input data is translated into a derived display position according to the current mapping. An action that is associated with the derived display position is th…
