Infolgedessen ist es möglich, nur sehr wenige und große Tasten gleichzeitig darzustellen und so die Bedienung der einzelnen Funktionseinheiten deutlich zu erleichtern. So ist es möglich, nur das gerade zu bedienende Gerät darzustellen, wobei alle anderen Funktionen dann nicht dargestellt sind und somit nicht zur Verwirrung und Fehlbedienung führen können. Beispielsweise sind im Ruhezustand des Geräts nur drei Tastenfelder für die Auswahl von Telefon, Radio, und Fernsehen definiert und mit den entsprechenden Symbolen hinterlegt, so daß sich eine übersichtliche und leicht zu erfassende Darstellung ergibt. Nach Auswahl des Telefonsymbols werden dann beispielsweise zehn Tastenfelder definiert und mit den Zahlen von 0 bis 9 hinterlegt. Damit können die Zifferntasten ausreichend groß dargestellt werden, und darüber hinaus können keine weiteren Tastensymbole von der Bedienung der Zifferntasten ablenken. Bei einer Auswahl des Fernsehsymbols werden beispielsweise nur eine Anzahl an Tastenbereichen definiert, die der Anzahl der zur Verfügung stehenden Programme entspricht, und mit Symbolen oder Ziffern hinterlegt.In the partial sectional view of Figure 2 is the LCD touch panel module 14, behind a film viewing window 36 of the housing of the handset 10 is arranged. The module 14 has a touch-sensitive, transparent film 38, the seen by an operator of the handset 10, in front of a large LCD display 40 is arranged. With help of a provided in the handset 10 controller can Definition of coordinate areas or fields on the touch-sensitive Slide 38 are defined, which are the keys represent a keyboard. The LCD display 40 becomes then controlled by the controller so that the defined Keypads on the touch-sensitive sheet 38 with certain Symbols are deposited. Is on the touch sensitive Foil 38 in such a defined keypad Pressure exerted, this is recognized by the control unit and the the Keypad and icon associated with the command. Either the definition of the keypads as well as the deposit with symbols is variable. As a result it is possible to display very few and large keys at the same time and so the operation of the individual functional units significantly easier. So it is possible, just that represent serving device, with all other functions then not shown and thus not to confusion and incorrect operation. For example, are at rest The device only has three keypads for selecting Phone, radio, and television defined and with the appropriate Symbols deposited, so that a clear and easy-to-capture representation results. After selecting the Phone icons then become ten keypads, for example defined and stored with the numbers from 0 to 9. In order to the number keys can be displayed large enough, and in addition, no further key symbols of to distract the operation of the numeric keys. With a selection For example, only a number of the television icon will be displayed Key ranges defined by the number of available standing programs, and with symbols or numbers deposited.
