Abstract:
An improved telephone, wherein the improvements comprise:a housing sized to be hand-held; electronic circuitry located in said housing; a general image display located in said housing, said general image display operatively connected to said circuitry; at least one finger depressible surface in part exposed on said housing, said at least one finger depressible surface operatively connected to at least one pressure-sensitive analog sensor, said analog sensor for inputting a signal to said circuitry, said signal having variable value depending on variable pressure applied to said at least one finger depressible surface; said circuitry structured to receive said signal and to cause said general image display to provide variable visual feedback data, said variable visual feedback data at least in part representing the variable pressure applied to said at least one finger depressible surface, whereby said variable visual feedback data may be controlled at varying rates according to variable pressure applied to said at least one finger depressible surface.
