Abstract
An input method is used for an electronic device having a touch-sensitive element and a display unit. Firstly, a contact on a specific zone of the touch-sensitive element is detected. Then, it is determined whether the contact remains. When the contact remains and slides to a specific position of the touch-sensitive element, a specific number corresponding to the specific zone is selected for input.
