1. A portable communication device comprising:
an external housing containing at least a mechanical switch and at least one key for actuation of said at least a mechanical switch, said at least one key having an actuation surface which protrudes from said external housing through an aperture, and the at least a mechanical switch being able to be actuated by swiveling of the at least one key around an axis substantially perpendicular to said actuation surface, wherein said at least one key is made of plastic material and includes, in a thickness and behind said actuation surface, at least one emerging slit extending substantially parallel to said actuation surface wherein said at least one emerging slit is designed in order to enable a deformation of the at least one key until a corresponding area of the activation surface becomes flush with the external housing.
2. A portable communication device according to claim 1, wherein, when the at least one key is in a rest position, said at least one emerging slit extends preferably in a plane of aperture, and sets back from the external housing.
3. A portable communication device according to claim 1, wherein said at least one key stands on a lateral wall of said external housing.

use the display request to obtain sample data from a B plus tree populated with the set of data; and
generate a display response based on the sample data.
6. The medium of claim 5, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause a computer to:
identify one or more visibility parameters based on the display request; and

7. The medium of claim 6, wherein the one or more visibility parameters are to include one or more of a visibility region and a number of visible pixels.
8. The medium of claim 6, wherein a hierarchical sampling scheme is to be used to identify the one or more sample points.
9. The medium of claim 5, wherein the display request is to correspond to one or more of a zoom operation and a pan operation.
10. The medium of claim 5, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause a computer to:
receive the set of data;
parse the set of data; and
populate the B plus tree with the parsed set of data.
11. The medium of claim 5, wherein the set of data is to include a non-uniform set of data.
12. The medium of claim 11, wherein the non-uniform set of data is to include task data.
13. A system comprising:
a memory device to store a set of data in a B plus tree;
logic to,
receive a display request associated with the set of data,
use the display request to obtain sample data from the B plus tree, and
generate a display response based on the sample data; and
a display device to output the display response.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein the logic is to,
identify one or more visibility parameters based on the display request,
identify one or more sample points in the B plus tree based on the one or more visibility parameters, wherein the one or more sample points are used to obtain the sample data from the B plus tree.
15. The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more visibility parameters are to include one or more of a visibility region and a number of visible pixels.
16. The system of claim 14, wherein a hierarchical sampling scheme is to be used to identify the one or more sample points.
17. The system of claim 13, wherein the display request is to correspond to one or more of a zoom operation and a pan operation.
18. The system of claim 13, wherein the logic is to,
receive the set of data,
parse the set of data, and
populate the B plus tree with the parsed set of data.
19. The system of claim 13, wherein the set of data is to include a non-uniform set of data.
20. The system of claim 19, wherein the non-uniform set of data is to include task data.
