Patent number: 8139035Abstract: A keypad includes discrete keys formed by touch sensors or virtual keys on a touch sensitive area. The discrete or virtual keys are mechanically linked to a biased switch. The key that has been touched during a keystroke is identified through a signal from the touch sensors whilst a keystroke is recorded upon a signal from the biased switch. The combination of the touch sensors with a biased switch provides tactile feedback. The use of touch sensors or a touch sensitive area allows the keypad to be constructed with a substantially flush surface without parting lines.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2006Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Andrew Strawn, Andrew Raymond Bick, Crispian Tompkin, Daren Leith, Simon Bradford, Luke Miles, Brian Davidson
