`ABSTRACT
`
`A human interface and input system is implemented on an
`input accelerator device to remotely operate hand-held host
`electronic devices such as cellular phones, PDA’s, pocket
`PC’s, and smart phone’s. The input accelerator device can
`control some or all functions of the host device to eliminate
`the need to directly interface With the host device. The input
`accelerator device may be con?gured to optimize a biome
`chanical e?fect of a human user’s opposing thumb and
`?ngers by including, on one surface, one or more softWare
`con?gurable input elements manipulatable by the user’s
`thumms) or ?nger, and, on another Surface, one or more
`softWare con?gurable selection elements manipulatable by a
`user’s ?nger(s)'. The input accelerator device can be a hybrid
`dev1ce combmmg a W1reless headset W1th the dev1ce control
