Abstract
An electronic device, a control method, and a computer program produce of the same are provided. The electronic device includes a touch panel and a display panel. The display panel is controlled to display a software input panel (SIP). The SIP includes a number of software keys. Each software key is corresponding to a touch region of the touch panel. The control method includes a number of steps. A touch input for a software key is received. According to the software key, one or more candidate software keys are identified. One of the candidate software keys has its corresponding touch region being enlarged. A layout of the SIP is kept substantially unchanged.
