Communication terminal having a variable composition

Abstract

Abstract The terminal comprises a calculator (C), a display and switch panel (10) comprising a display area capable of displaying items of information by excitation of picture elements or pixels (12) addressed by the calculator (C), and a transparent tactile area having a plurality of tactile detection elements managed by the calculator (C) in such a way as to be able to be grouped into bearing zones (23). The panel can receive differently shaped grids (6), the orifices (7) of which serve to delimit bearing zones and display zones on the panel (10). The calculator (C) is designed in such a way as to obtain bearing zones (23) and display zones corresponding with those delimited by the grid (6), following detection of a signal identifying this grid (6). The invention enables the configuration of the terminal to be changed very simply. <IMAGE>
