Abstract
In order to improve an input operation function by effectively utilizing hardware resources in a mobile information terminal, a mobile information terminal (100) includes a first input section (123), a second input section (122) that is provided at a different location from the first input section, and a control section (101) that executes a single process using a first input signal inputted from the first input section and a second input signal inputted from the second input section.
Claims11
A mobile information terminal, comprising:
- a first input section;
- a second input section that is provided at a different location from the first input section;
- and
- a control section that executes a single process by using a first input signal inputted from the first input section and a second input signal inputted from the second input section.
A method for controlling a mobile information terminal that includes a first input section and a second input section that is provided at a different location from the first input section, the method comprising:
- a step for acquiring a first input signal inputted from the first input section and a second input signal inputted from the second input section;
- and
- a step for executing a single process based on the first input signal and the second input signal.
A mobile information terminal provided with a terminal lock function, comprising:
- a touch screen that receives inputting of authentication information for releasing the terminal lock function;
- a touch sensor;
- and
- a control section,
- wherein the control section executes control so that, if there is contact of a finger of a user to the touch sensor when the authentication information is inputted to the touch screen, the authentication information inputted is handled to be valid, and
- the control section executes control so that, if there is no contact of a finger of a user to the touch sensor when the authentication information is inputted to the touch screen, the authentication information inputted is handled to be invalid.
