Abstract

A method and system that integrates a numeric keypad with a touchpad in the same physical location on a touch-sensitive display device. Operational mode of the same location is automatically determined based on user actions with the display or based on a manual entry by the user. The system operates in at least one mode of operation selected from: numpad mode, touchpad mode, keyboard mode and auto-detect mode. A visual indicator communicates with the user which mode is the current mode.
