Wireless communication device and a method of manufacturing a wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A wireless communication device comprising:
- a housing, a touch sensitive display coupled to the housing, the display comprising a plurality of activation areas for activating the functions of the wireless communication device by pressing the activation areas, and a cover part coupled to the housing and arranged to move in relation to the touch sensitive display, said cover part comprising at least one activation means, wherein in a closed position the activation means is adapted to mechanically transmit a pressing of the activation means to the activation areas, wherein the activation means is formed, advantageously to correspond in size to the touch sensitive display, advantageously to a completely transparent and flexible foil activation means, the flexible foil being adapted to mechanically transmit the pressing of the foil to the display;
wherein when the cover part is in the closed position, the activation means is arranged to transmit the pressing of the activation means to an activation area at the location of the activation means by means of a movement of a pressing point of the activation means directed towards the touch sensitive display and a contact formed between the activation means and the activation area.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a wireless communication device (1) comprising a housing (2), a touch sensitive display (3) coupled to the housing (3), the display (3) comprising preferably a plurality of activation areas (3b-3d) for activating the functions of the wireless communication device (1) by pressing the activation areas (3b-3d), and a cover part (4) coupled to the housing (2) and arranged to move in relation to the touch sensitive display (3). The cover part (4) comprises at least one activation means (5), wherein in the closed position of the cover part (4), the activation means (5) is arranged to transmit the pressing of the activation means (5) to the activation area (3b-3d) located at the activation means (5) In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the activation means (5) is formed advantageously to correspond in size to the touch sensitive display (3), advantageously to a completely transparent and flexible foil-like activation means (5). Further, with the cover part (4) in the closed position, the activation means (5) is adapted at a selected distance from the touch sensitive display (3), and in relation to the touch sensitive display (3) preferably substantially parallel. The present invention also relates to a method in manufacturing a wireless communication device (1).
