Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes a touch screen display, a sensor and an adjuster. The touch screen display includes a touch panel. The sensor is capable of detecting a direction of gravitational force. The adjuster is configured to adjust the sensitivity of the touch panel by determining which of a first direction close to an upwardly vertical direction and a second direction close to a downwardly vertical direction a screen of the touch screen display is made to face based on a detection signal from the sensor.
Claims16
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen display comprising a touch panel;
- a sensor capable of detecting a direction of gravitational force;
- and
- an adjuster configured to adjust the sensitivity of the touch panel by determining which of a first direction close to an upwardly vertical direction and a second direction close to a downwardly vertical direction a screen of the touch screen display is made to face based on a detection signal from the sensor.
A control method of an electronic device comprising a touch screen display comprising a touch panel, the method comprising:
- detecting a direction which a screen of the touch screen display is made to face;
- and
- adjusting the sensitivity of the touch panel in response to which of an upwardly vertical first direction and a downwardly vertical second direction the screen is made to face.
A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a computer program executable by a computer, the computer program controlling the computer to execute function of:
- detecting a direction which a screen of a touch screen display is made to face;
- and
- adjusting the sensitivity of a touch panel in the touch screen display in response to which of an upwardly vertical first direction and a downwardly vertical second direction the screen is made to face.
An electronic device comprising:
- a touch screen display comprising a touch panel;
- a sensor capable of detecting a direction of gravitational force;
- an acquirer configured to acquire an orientation of an image on a screen of the touch screen display;
- and
- an adjuster configured to adjust the sensitivity of the touch panel by determining which of a first direction close to a vertical direction and a second direction close to a horizontal direction the screen is made to face, and determining which of the first direction and the second direction the orientation of the image is, based on a detection signal from the sensor and the orientation of the image on the screen acquired by the acquirer.
A control method of an electronic device comprising a touch screen display comprising a touch panel, the method comprising:
- detecting a direction of gravitational force;
- acquiring an orientation of an image on a screen of the touch screen display;
- determining which of a first direction close to a vertical direction and a second direction close to a horizontal direction the screen is made to face, and determining which of the first direction and the second direction the orientation of the image is, based on the direction of gravitational force and the orientation of the image on the screen;
- and
- adjusting the sensitivity of the touch panel in response to which of the first direction and the second direction the screen is made to face, and which of the first direction and the second direction the orientation of the image is.
A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a computer program executable by a computer, the computer program controlling the computer to execute function of:
- detecting a direction of gravitational force;
- acquiring an orientation of an image on a screen of a touch screen display;
- determining which of a first direction close to a vertical direction and a second direction close to a horizontal direction the screen is made to face, and determining which of the first direction and the second direction the orientation of the image is, based on the direction of gravitational force and the orientation of the image on the screen;
- and
- adjusting the sensitivity of a touch panel in the touch screen display in response to which of the first direction and the second direction the screen is made to face, and which of the first direction and the second direction the orientation of the image is.
