Abstract
An electronic device includes a touch detection unit that detects a touch operation executed on an operation surface, a pressure detection unit that detects a pressing force of the touch operation, and a control unit that controls executing a different function based on the detected pressing force of the touch operation when the touch operation is detected by the touch detection unit. In a case where a touch operation is detected again within a predetermined period from a previous touch operation after the control unit has controlled a function based on the pressing force to be executed based on the touch operation, the control unit controls a same function as the function executed based on the previous touch operation to be executed regardless of the pressing force.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch detection unit configured to detect a touch operation executed on an operation surface;
- a pressure detection unit configured to detect a pressing force of the touch operation;
- and
- a control unit configured to control, when the touch operation is detected, executing a function based on the detected pressing force of the touch operation,
- wherein, when the touch operation is detected again before a predetermined period elapses after the control unit has controlled the function corresponding to the pressing force to be executed based on a previous touch operation, the control unit controls executing a same function as the function executed based on the previous touch operation regardless of the pressing force of the touch operation that is detected again before the predetermined period elapses.
A control method of an electronic device comprising:
- detecting a touch operation executed on an operation surface;
- detecting a pressing force of the touch operation;
- and
- performing control to execute a function based on the detected pressing force of the touch operation,
- wherein, when the touch operation is detected again before a predetermined period of time elapses after performing control to execute the function based on the pressing force based on a previous touch operation, control is performed to execute a same function as the function executed based on the previous touch operation regardless of the pressing force of the touch operation that is detected again before the predetermined period elapses.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method, the control method comprising:
- detecting a touch operation executed on an operation surface;
- detecting a pressing force of the touch operation;
- and
- performing control to execute a function based on the detected pressing force of the touch operation,
- wherein, when the touch operation is detected again before a predetermined period elapses after performing control to execute the function based on the pressing force based on a previous touch operation, control is performed to execute a same function as the function executed based on the previous touch operation regardless of the pressing force of the touch operation that is detected again before the predetermined period elapses.
