1. A system for locking device input, the system comprising:
- a plurality of device input components comprising;
a touch screen input component; and
a key input component comprising a plurality of input keys; and
an input locking sub system for selectively locking at least the touch sensitive screen input component when a first input sequence is received from the plurality of keys that matches a specific key sequence, and for selectively unlocking locked input components, including the touch sensitive screen input, when a second input sequence is received from the plurality of keys that matches the specific key sequence.

Abstract
A system and method are described for locking a touch sensitive screen input component of a device. The system and method receives input from an input component, adds the received input to a input sequence, and checks the input sequence against a key sequence. If the input sequence matches the key sequence, the system and method toggle the locked state of device input components.
