Abstract

L'invention concerne un combiné téléphonique (1) à écran tactile (3) affichant des images de touches destinées à l'utilisateur. Lorsqu'une zone de l'écran faisant face à l'une des images de ces touches est touchée par l'utilisateur, une fonction téléphonique correspondante est initialisée. Précisément, l'écran peut afficher les images des touches dans une première zone (19), et une autre image dans une seconde zone (21). L'utilisateur dispose d'options sélectionnables (15, 17) correspondant à différentes positions relatives des première et seconde zones considérées: dans une première option, la première zone se situe au-dessous de la seconde zone par rapport au sommet de l'écran, et inversement, dans une seconde option, la seconde zone se situe au-dessus de la première zone.
