TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY METHOD AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying information on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device, wherein the touch-sensitive display has a non-display area;
associating a first area of the non-display area with a first control, wherein a touch associated with the first control results in moving an indicator through the information in a first direction and in a second direction;
associating a second area of the non-display area with a second control, wherein a touch associated with the second control results in moving the indicator through the information in the first direction and in the second direction;
detecting a first touch associated with the first control, wherein the first touch has a component at least in part in the first direction;
in response to detecting the first touch, moving the indicator in the first direction;
detecting a second touch associated with the second control, wherein the second touch has a component at least in part in the first direction;
in response to detecting the second touch, moving the indicator in the first direction.

Abstract
An example method includes associating a first area of a non-display area of a touch-sensitive display with a first control, wherein a touch associated with the first control results in moving an indicator through the information in a first direction and in a second direction. The method may also include associating a second area of the non-display area with a second control, wherein a touch associated with the second control results in moving the indicator through the information in the first direction and in the second direction. The method may also include detecting a first touch associated with the first control, in response to detecting the first touch, moving the indicator in the first direction, detecting a second touch associated with the second control, and in response to detecting the second touch, moving the indicator in the first direction.
