Patent Images
1. A portable electronics device comprising:
- a data processor; and
a display coupled to the data processor, the display comprising;
a display device; and
a transparent three-dimensional touch-sensitive screen disposed over a portion of the display device, the touch-sensitive screen comprising a raised region and a recessed region surrounding the raised region, the data processor being configured to;
(i) render on the display device a data input/output screen comprising a plurality of data input regions, the raised region overlaying the data input regions; and
(ii) detect, as input from one of the data input regions, touch activity at a portion of the raised region coincident with the one data input region.
