Systems for development and/or use of telephone user interface

A system comprising:

• a customizable telephone having a touch sensitive screen and a securing element;
• a processor, the processor providing a plurality of telephone interface layouts;
• a memory storing the plurality of telephone interface layouts, each one of the telephone interface layouts associating at least one telephone interface control with at least one respective touch location and a respective action to be performed by the at least one telephone interface control;
• and
• printing a physical medium, the printed physical medium comprising an image defined by a selected telephone interface layout of the plurality of telephone interface layouts, the image having the at least one telephone interface control illustrated thereon;
• the securing element securing the printed physical medium to the touch sensitive screen;
• the processor providing a data file that associates the selected telephone interface layout, the physical printed medium secured to the touch sensitive screen, and the at least one respective touch location for the at least one telephone interface control on the touch sensitive screen to the customizable telephone;
• the touch sensitive screen receiving a bias and generating touch location information based on the bias;
• the customizable telephone receiving the touch location information from the touch sensitive screen;
• the customizable telephone determining a first telephone interface control of the at least one telephone interface control based on the touch location information received by the touch sensitive screen and the data file provided by the processor;
• the customizable telephone determining an action to be performed based on the touch location information received by the touch sensitive screen and the data file provided by the processor;
• and
• the customizable telephone determining a touch feedback response to be provided upon receiving the bias, the touch feedback response comprising a type of haptic feedback and the touch feedback response is determined such that the haptic feedback is generated based on the first telephone interface control;
• and
• the customizable telephone providing the determined touch feedback response to the touch sensitive screen;
• and
• the customizable telephone performing the determined action.

A system for development of a telephone user interface comprising:

• a processor;
• an input device;
• a non-transitory computer readable medium;
• a customizable telephone having a touch sensitive screen and non-transitory memory;
• the input device receiving a first selection of a first telephone interface control from a plurality of telephone interface controls stored in the non-transitory computer readable medium;
• the input device receiving a first location associated with the first telephone interface control, the first location comprising an X-Y coordinate location of the first telephone interface control on a display panel;
• the input device receiving a first indication of an action to be performed when the first telephone interface control is executed;
• the input device receiving a first touch feedback parameter that is associated with the first telephone interface control, the first touch feedback parameter comprising a type of haptic feedback and the first touch feedback parameter is defined such that the type of haptic feedback is generated by the touch sensitive screen based on the action to be performed when the first telephone interface control is executed;
• the processor prompting a user to submit a second selection of a second telephone interface control from the plurality of telephone interface controls;
• a processor generating a first telephone interface layout comprising the first selection of the first telephone interface control, the first location associated with the first telephone interface control, the first indication of the action to be performed when the first telephone interface control is executed, and the first touch feedback parameter associated with the first telephone interface control, the first telephone interface layout defining a first image depicting the first telephone interface layout;
• the non-transitory memory of the customizable telephone storing the first telephone interface layout;
• wherein the first image is printed on a physical printed medium and the physical printed medium is attached to the touch sensitive screen via a securing element, the first image having the first telephone interface control illustrated thereon, and wherein a data file that associates the first telephone interface layout, the physical printed medium secured to the touch sensitive screen, and the first location associated with the first telephone interface control on the touch sensitive screen is communicated to the customizable telephone via the processor;
• and
• wherein a depression of the touch sensitive screen of the customizable telephone at the first location of the first telephone interface control executes the first telephone interface control and causes the action associated with the first telephone interface control to be performed.
