Abstract
Erroneous input operations are more surely inhibited than usual erroneous input operations, by an electronic device 1 including a contact detection unit 40, a pressure detection unit 60 and a control unit 10, in a manner that the contact detection unit 40 detects a contact, the pressure detection unit 60 detects a pressure on the contact detection unit 40, the control unit 10 receives an input, and the control unit 10, based on data having already been input, sets a threshold of the pressure for receiving the input.
Claims18
An electronic device comprising:
- a contact detection unit configured to detect a contact;
- a pressure detection unit configured to detect a pressure on the contact detection unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to receive an input from at least one particular key or button at a first threshold of the pressure for receiving the input, and to set a second threshold of the pressure for receiving the input, the second threshold of the pressure being higher than the first threshold if a predetermined key or predetermined sequence of keys is pressed.

An electronic device comprising:
- a contact detection unit configured to detect a contact;
- a pressure detection unit configured to detect a pressure on the contact detection unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to receive an input from at least one particular key or button at a first threshold of the pressure for receiving the input, and to change a second threshold of the pressure for receiving the input, the second threshold of the pressure being higher than the first threshold if a predetermined key or predetermined sequence of keys is pressed.
1 more element
An input reception method comprising steps of:
- detecting a contact;
- detecting a pressure;
- setting a threshold of a pressure for receiving an input to at least one particular key to a second threshold of the pressure for receiving the input, the second threshold of the pressure being higher than a first threshold of pressure for receiving the input to another key if a predetermined key or predetermined sequence of keys is pressed;
- and
- receiving the input based on the second threshold.
