Abstract
This electronic device includes: a manipulation unit (12) that detects manipulation performed upon a display unit (15) by a manipulation unit, determines an effective area on the basis of a detected area that is the area that was detected, and outputs the effective area; and a control unit (17) that identifies a designated area, which is the area that was designated by the manipulation unit on the basis of the effective area. The control unit (17) sets the effective area in accordance with display content that is displayed on the display unit (15).
Claims8
An electronic device comprising:
- a manipulation unit that detects manipulation of a manipulation means with respect to a display unit and that determines and supplies an effective area, which is an area capable of detecting said manipulation, based on an area that was detected;
- and
- a control unit that identifies a designated area that is an area that was designated by said manipulation means based on said effective area;
- wherein said control unit sets said effective area in accordance with display content that is displayed on said display unit.
An electronic device comprising:
- a manipulation unit that detects manipulation of a manipulation means with respect to a display unit and that determines and supplies a first effective area, which is an area capable of detecting said manipulation, based on an area that was detected;
- and
- a control unit that, based on a second effective area that was recognized according to said first effective area, identifies a designated area that is the area designated by said manipulation means;
- wherein said control unit sets said second effective area in accordance with display content that is displayed on said display unit.
An information processing method realized by an electronic device that has a manipulation unit and a control unit, comprising steps of:
- said manipulation unit detecting manipulation of a manipulation means with respect to a display unit, and determining and supplying as output a first effective area, which is an area capable of detecting said manipulation, based on an area that was detected;
- said control unit recognizing a second effective area based on said first effective area according to display content that is displayed on said display unit;
- and
- said control unit identifying a designated area that is an area that was designated by the manipulation means based on said second effective area.
A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium having a program for causing a computer that is equipped with a manipulation unit to execute procedures of:
- upon said manipulation unit detecting manipulation of a manipulation means with respect to a display unit and determining a first effective area, which is an area capable of detecting said manipulation, based on an area that was detected, recognizing a second effective area based on said first effective area according to display content that is displayed on said display unit;
- and
- identifying a designated area that is an area designated by said manipulation means based on said second effective area.
