The invention relates to a method for acquiring user inputs and for performing certain functions of an electronic device (1), in particular a computer and/or a mobile radio terminal, and to a device (1) to carry out this method, wherein the acquisition takes place by means of a touch-sensitive display surface (2), which is configured to register a fingerprint (3), wherein a touch of predetermined limited areas of the display surface (2) by a user is expected in order to activate and/or select functions. A touch of the display surface (2) in one or more predetermined areas with one or more predetermined fingers simultaneously or successively in a predetermined sequence is expected. The display surface (2) registers the fingerprints (3) of the user when it is touched, and a predetermined function of the device (1) is activated and/or performed depending on the touched area or areas of the display surface (2), the registered fingerprints (3) and the sequence.
