## Abstract

An electronic device includes a sensor configured to detect a gesture that does not come into contact with the electronic device, a touch sensor, a display configured to display a first screen and a second screen, and a controller configured to associate the gesture detected by the sensor with an operation of the first screen and a touch detected by the touch sensor with an operation of the second screen in accordance with a position where the sensor is disposed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device comprising:
a sensor configured to detect a gesture that does not come into contact with the electronic device;
a touch sensor;
a display configured to display a first screen and a second screen; and
a controller configured to associate the gesture detected by the sensor with an operation of the first screen and a touch detected by the touch sensor with an operation of the second screen in accordance with a position where the sensor is disposed.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to associate the gesture with the operation of the first screen that is closer to the position where the sensor is disposed than the second screen and to associate the touch with the operation of the second screen.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to associate the gesture with the operation of the first screen that is farther from the position where the sensor is disposed than the second screen and to associate the touch with the operation of the second screen.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to associate the touch further with at least one of an inter-screen operation and a screen erase operation.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1,
wherein the controller is configured to
associate a particular touch that is one type of the touch performable on the second screen with a particular operation of the second screen; and
associate one type of the gesture with the particular operation of the first screen.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein when the first screen is set to be an active window by the touch, the controller is configured to associate one type of the gesture with a display of a list of setting items of the active window.

### Claim at position 7

-8. (canceled)

### Claim 9

An electronic device comprising:
a sensor configured to detect a gesture that does not come into contact with the electronic device;
a touch sensor; and
a controller configured to set a screen movement amount per basic operation based on the gesture detected by the sensor to be greater than a screen movement amount per basic operation based on a touch detected by the touch sensor.

### Claim 10

An electronic device comprising:
a sensor configured to detect a gesture that does not come into contact with the electronic device;
a touch sensor; and
a controller configured to set a screen movement amount based on first information associated with the gesture detected by the sensor and a screen movement amount based on second information associated with a touch detected by the touch sensor to differ.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the screen movement amount is a scroll amount.

### Claim 12 (depends on 10)

The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the first information includes intersection information and the second information includes coordinate information.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the first information includes traffic information.

### Claim at position 13

-17. (canceled)
