Selective call radio with hinged touchpad
First Claim
1. A selective call radio, comprising:
- a selective call radio housing having a display housing member and a touchpad housing member hingely connected to the display housing member;
a display for displaying a pointer of a graphical user interface, the display fixed to the display housing member, the display having a first coordinate system;
a touchpad fixed to the touchpad housing member, the touchpad having one of a first coordinate system and a second coordinate system; and
a controller, electronically coupled to the display and to the touchpad, for selectively controlling movement of the pointer on the display corresponding to touching movement on the touchpad using one of the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system, the coordinate system used being based upon a mechanical position of the touchpad housing member relative to the display housing member.

Abstract
A selective call radio (10), includes a controller, a switch (33), and a selective call radio housing (12), including a display housing member (19) having a display (18) and a touchpad housing member (29) having a touchpad (22). The touchpad housing member is movable from a closed position where the touchpad is contraposed to the display, to an opened position where the touchpad is on a same side of the selective call radio as is the display. The switch is electrically coupled to the touchpad, to the display and to the controller, and is actuated depending upon mechanical position of the touchpad housing member relative to the display housing member. The controller selectively sets the coordinate system of the touchpad and selectively sets a positioning factor for regulating amount of movement on the display caused by movement on the touchpad, based upon actuation of the switch.
