Abstract
A device is provided which includes a resistive touch input component. The resistive touch input component may operate as a proximity sensor and may include upper and lower conductive layers. The upper conductive layer may be in a higher impedence state than the lower conductive layer. A method for controlling a resistive touch input component is also provided in which at least a first terminal of a device is provided for connecting the upper conductive layer in a high impedence state, and in which at least one second terminal is provided for connecting a lower conductive layer in a state capable of operating the touch input component. Corresponding computer program products and devices are also provided.
