User input configurations for a data processing device

An apparatus comprising:

• a data processing device having a memory for storing program code and data and a processor for processing the program code and data, and a display for displaying graphical images and text, the display having a top side, a bottom side, a left side, and a right side;
• a control wheel rotatably and communicatively engaged with the data processing device, the control wheel causing a graphic element on the display to move in a first direction by a first predefined amount when rotated towards the top side of the display and causing the graphic element to move in a second direction by the first predefined amount when rotated towards the bottom of the display;
• a first input button communicatively coupled to the data processing device and positioned directly adjacent to the control wheel on a side of the control wheel positioned towards the top of the display;
• and
• a second input button communicatively coupled to the data processing device and positioned directly adjacent to the control wheel on a side of the control wheel positioned towards the bottom of the display,
• wherein the first input button causes the graphic element to move in the first direction by a second predefined amount when selected and wherein the second input button causes the graphic element to move in the second direction by a second predefined amount when selected.

An apparatus comprising:

• data processing means having a memory for storing program code and data and a processor for processing the program code and data, and a display for displaying graphical images and text;
• a rotatable input means rotatably and communicatively engaged with the data processing device, the rotatable input means causing a graphic element on the display to move in a first direction by a first predefined amount when rotated towards the top side of the display and causing the graphic element to move in a second direction by the first predefined amount when rotated towards the bottom of the display;
• first input means communicatively coupled to the data processing device and positioned directly adjacent to the control wheel on a side of the control wheel positioned towards the top of the display;
• and
• second input means communicatively coupled to the data processing device and positioned directly adjacent to the control wheel on a side of the control wheel positioned towards the bottom of the display,
• wherein the first input means causes the graphic element to move in the first direction by a second predefined amount when selected and wherein the second input means causes the graphic element to move in the second direction by a second predefined amount when selected.
