Abstract

A system having a customized interface (117) for providing user inputs to an electronic device and a method for configuring the system is disclosed. The system comprises a user interface (106) that includes a finger sensor (102) and a mechanical component, both for receiving user inputs. A customizable device interface (117) couples the user interface to an electronic device, such as a mobile telephone or a digital camera. The device interface is configured to selectively map the output of the user interface to any number of programmed inputs used by the electronic device. Any combination of components that form the user interface can thus be selected and the device interface configured so that the outputs of the components are mapped to functions recognizable by application programs executing on the electronic device.
