Abstract

The invention relates to a method for inputting input elements into an electronic device. Different possible input elements are disposed in a selection field which is represented at least partially on a display device. By rotating a control element which can rotate around a fixed axis, the selection field or a pointer of the display device to be displaced in a rolling manner in a first direction of displacement direction. By positioning the pointer and/or the selection field on the display device, one of the represented input elements can be selected for input and the selection can be subsequently confirmed.
