Electronic device including touch-sensitive display
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a base;
a touch-sensitive display connected to the base and movable relative thereto;
a switch actuator disposed between the touch-sensitive display and the base;
switches disposed between the touch-sensitive display and the base and moveable relative to the base from a first position in which only one of the switches is located for actuation by the switch actuator to a second position in which two of the switches are located for actuation by the switch actuator;
wherein the switch actuator comprises a tray disposed between the touch-sensitive display and at least one of the switches; and
wherein the switch actuator comprises at least one projection from the tray for contacting the switches.

Abstract
An electronic device includes a base and a touch-sensitive display connected to the base and movable relative thereto. The touch-sensitive display includes a display device and a touch-sensitive input device for detecting touches on the display device. The electronic device also includes a switch actuator disposed between the touch-sensitive display and the base, switches disposed between the touch-sensitive display and the base and moveable relative to the switch actuator from a first position in which only one of the switches is located for actuation by the switch actuator, and a second position in which two of the switches are located for actuation by the switch actuator, and operational components including a processor connected to the display device and the touch-sensitive input device for controlling operation of the display device and the touch-sensitive input device.
