Abstract
An overlay secured to a mobile device and positioned over a portion of a touch-activated user interface on the mobile device functions as a guide and includes input areas that indicate locations of input touch regions on the user interface. Based on an identity of the overlay, configuration data is accessed that corresponds to that particular overlay. The configuration data defines locations of the input areas and enables the input touch regions to be mapped for that particular overlay.
