Touchscreen terminals
Touchscreen terminals do not have a keypad.
Regarding to the Touchscreen with touch keys, the keys run the same way as the touch zone. Those keys give a "mechanical feeling" that isn't felt on the tactile zone (manipulation with gloves).
For each key of terminals with keyboard an equivalent will be given for touchscreen terminals.
Pressing this touch zone called the service touch icon provides access to a context “keyboard”. Depending on the presence of some functions, the “keyboard” may or may not display the corresponding “buttons”.
