  • a method for controlling a communication device via a display or a user interface shown in it comprises the following steps: First, a plurality of control objects is shown on the display or user interface, the actuation of which enables a respective predetermined control process to be carried out, the control objects being an actuating area with a respective first size.
  • the control process carried out by operating this control object can be the execution of a specific application or a specific program that is stored in the communication device.
  • a character (number, letter, symbol, etc.) assigned to a respective control object can be entered into the communication device or a memory thereof.
  • one of the plurality of control objects shown is selected and then the actuating area of the selected control object is expanded to a respective second size, which is larger than the first size of the selected control object.
  • the area of the selected object not only improves the visual perceptibility of the selected object, which advantageously provides a description of the control process that can be carried out by this object, it also increases the "attack surface" or actuation surface for a user who uses a specific control object Select pointing device, such as a mouse or a touch pen, to then operate it.
  • select is a marking of a specific control element which does not yet cause a control operation assigned to the control object to be carried out
  • actuation means such control of the control object by which the control operation assigned to the selected control object is carried out.
  • the respective control objects are arranged adjacent to one another. In this way it is possible to accommodate a large number of control objects even on a small display or user interface.
  • control objects are arranged in a predetermined area of the display and fill this. This means that the control objects do not have to be provided on the entire display or on the user interface shown, but they do share at least part of the user interface.
  • the actuation area of this new selected control object is expanded (to a second size) while the size the actuation area of the last or originally selected control object, in particular to its respective first size, is reduced.
  • This method step generally reducing the size of the control object last selected after the selection criterion has been transferred to a new control object, enables the display of the control objects to require only a small amount of space.
  • the respective control objects are arranged next to one another in a row, with a selected control object expanding its width of its actuating area in the direction of the arrangement of the control objects and / or a height of its actuating area perpendicular to the direction of the arrangement of the control objects.
  • the term "row” does not have to mean that the individual control objects are arranged in a strictly straight line, but that the row can also have a certain curvature.
  • width and height were chosen independently of the position or orientation of the control elements on the display, but only to define the expansion of the respective actuating surface of the selected control element in the direction or perpendicular to the direction of the Serve set of controls.
  • a third variant it is possible according to a third variant to increase the row height of the selected control object to expand the actuating area of the selected control object, while the row height of the at least one further one in the column of the selected one Control object located control object is reduced. It should be noted that either only the row height of the at least one further control object in the column of the selected control object or the row height of the row assigned to this at least one further control object can be reduced. According to this third variant, it follows that the selected control object or its actuating area is shown particularly large in comparison to the other non-selected control objects, which on the one hand improves the visual perceptibility but also the possibility of actuation for the user.
  • the column width of the selected control object is increased according to a fourth variant to expand the actuating area of the selected control object, while the column width of the at least one further one in the row of the selected one Control object located control object is reduced. It should be noted that either only the column width of the at least one further control object in the row of the selected control object or the column width of the column assigned to this at least one further control object. According to this fourth variant, too, it is again achieved that the size of the selected control object or its actuating area is greatly increased in comparison to the other non-selected control objects in order to improve the perceptibility and actuating area for the user.

This means that the position of a certain control object, for example in a matrix arrangement, does not change compared to the other control objects, even if it is selected. Then only the size of its operating area or the display attribute changes, as will be explained below.

With this time-modulated or changing magnetic field a resonant circuit or LC resonant circuit is excited in the inductive pen for the touch screen. After the excitation field generated by the excitation coil is switched off, the LC resonant circuit oscillates due to its high quality and radiates a magnetic field with the frequency characteristic of the LC resonant circuit.

This means that the inductive touch screen can also draw conclusions about the distance of the inductive pin from the touch screen due to the voltages induced in the sensor coils.
