Abstract
An electronic device includes: a first detector configured to detect a moving operation of moving an operating object while touching an operation surface with the operating object; a second detector configured to detect a pressing force of the operating object on the operation surface; and a control unit configured to control so that in a case where the moving operation is in a first length and the pressing force is in a first magnitude, an item displayed on a display is moved in a first distance; and in a case where the moving operation is in the first length and the pressing force is in a second magnitude that is different from the first magnitude, the item displayed on the display is moved in a second distance that is longer than the first distance.
Claims12
An electronic device comprising:
- a first detector configured to detect a moving operation of moving an operating object while touching an operation surface with the operating object;
- a second detector configured to detect a pressing force of the operating object on the operation surface;
- and
- at least one memory and at least one processor which function as a control unit configured to control so that
- in a case where the moving operation detected by the first detector is in a first length and the pressing force detected by the second detector is in a first magnitude, an item displayed on a display is moved in a first distance;
- and
- in a case where the moving operation detected by the first detector is in the first length and the pressing force detected by the second detector is in a second magnitude that is different from the first magnitude, the item displayed on the display is moved in a second distance that is longer than the first distance, wherein
- the control unit determines a correspondence correlation between the movement amount of the operating object and the movement amount of the item at the start of the moving operation, and, even if the pressing force changes, keeps the correspondence correlation between the movement amount of the operating object and the movement amount of the item until completion of the moving operation.
