Controller

A controller has at least one control element for operation by a user, for example by being deformed or displaced by the user's digits. The controller has a vibrational sensor for detecting a first vibrational signal caused by deformation or displacement of the control element due to a contact action caused by a user and/or a recovery from such a deformation or displacement of the control element. The controller may also have a textured surface for being scratched or stroked by the user to cause corresponding vibrational signals. The controller further includes processing means for processing the vibrational signal to enable classification into corresponding characteristic classes of vibrational signal from which a control signal is derivable. The controller may be used, for example, to control a music player or a mobile telephone.
