Abstract:
An example electronic device (10) is provided. The electronic device (10) includes a screen (32), at least one electronic component (34) to detect at least one finger contacting the screen (32), and at least one processor (30) having a control unit (33). The control unit (33) processes data from the at least one electronic component (34) indicating that a first finger is contacting the screen (32), identifies a first finger image associated with the first finger, and correlates the contact of the first finger and the identified first finger image to a first action of a pointing input device to perform a first operation on the electronic device (10).
