Zusammenfassung:A context sensitive data input device ( 30 ) and method ( 100 ) can include a touch sensitive surface ( 32 ) such as a touchscreen and a processor ( 34 ) coupled to the touch sensitive surface. The processor can be programmed to map ( 102 ) at least one finger to at least one among a function and a data entry, recognize ( 104 ) at least one finger that has been mapped, and execute ( 108 ) the function or enter the data entry upon recognizing the at least one finger. The processor can be further programmed to map at least one finger to a short-cut menu or to a preset channel. The processor can also be programmed to recognize fingers of different users and to automatically switch to a particular user's settings, requirements or preferences upon recognizing a finger of a particular user.
