## Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes a display device, a touch panel arranged on the display device, and a user interface control unit. The display device is configured to display an operation screen. The user interface control unit is configured to detect a user operation to the operation screen using the touch panel, and perform a process corresponding to the detected user operation. Further, after the touch panel detects a touch at a touch position, if the user interface control unit detects a continuous movement of the touch position over a predetermined distance, the user interface control unit detects this touch as a wiping operation, and excludes this touch from a user operation to the operation screen.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a display device configured to display an operation screen;
a touch panel arranged on the display device; and
a user interface control unit configured to detect a user operation to the operation screen using the touch panel, and perform a process corresponding to the detected user operation;
wherein after the touch panel detects a touch at a touch position, if the user interface control unit detects a continuous movement of the touch position over a predetermined distance, the user interface control unit detects this touch as a wiping operation, and excludes this touch from a user operation to the operation screen.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein if the operation screen includes a slider, the user interface control unit does not detect a touch in an area of the slider as a wiping operation and does not exclude the touch from a user operation to the operation screen, and detects a touch in an area other than the slider as a wiping operation and excludes the touch from a user operation to the operation screen.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when detecting the user operation to the operation screen, the user interface control unit changes the operation screen, but when detecting the wiping operation, the user interface control unit does not change the operation screen.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electronic apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the user interface control unit excludes a touch within predetermined time immediately after a detection end of the wiping operation from a user operation to the operation screen.
