Abstract:
The present invention presents a mobile electronic device comprising dynamic hardware controls and a method for controlling dynamic hardware controls. The mobile electronic device comprises a pressure sensing film arranged to detect a pressure applied on at least one portion of at least one side of the mobile electronic device and electroactive polymer film with a conductive coating arranged overlaying the pressure sensing film. The electroactive polymer film comprises at least one deformable segment that may be deformed temporarily by the application of a voltage over the at least one deformable segment in the electroactive polymer film, the mobile electronic device further comprises a control unit arranged to control the dynamic hardware controls.
