Communication terminal

A method of controlling a communication terminal, which has a function of designating a position on a screen of an external display device, and which includes a touch panel including a first operation area configured to receive a position designating operation and a second operation area configured to receive a response operation to respond to an event occurring according to an execution of another function, the method comprising;

• receiving a contact operation and outputting position information representing the contact position,
• detecting occurrence of the event and outputting a notification signal;
• determining whether the position information represents the first operation area or the second operation area;
• receiving the position information and transmitting the received position information to the external display device;
• and
• performing a process corresponding to the notification signal,
• wherein, in a case where the position information represents the first operation area, the received position information is outputted,
• wherein, in a case where the position information represents the second operation area and the notification signal is received, the process corresponding to the notification signal is performed and the received position information is not outputted to the transmitting unit,
• wherein in the case where the notification signal is received, a message representing the occurrence of the event is outputted, and
• wherein, the message is displayed in the first operation area.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions to control a communication terminal to perform a method of designating a position on a screen of an external display device, wherein the communication terminal includes a touch panel including a first operation area configured to receive a position designating operation and a second operation area configured to receive a response operation to respond to an event occurring according to an execution of another function,

• the method comprising;
• receiving a contact operation and outputting position information representing the contact position,
• detecting occurrence of the event and outputs a notification signal;
• determining whether the position information represents the first operation area or the second operation area;
• receiving the position information and transmitting the received position information to the external display device;
• and
• performing a process corresponding to the notification signal,
• wherein, in a case where the position information represents the first operation area, the received position information is outputted,
• wherein, in a case where the position information represents the second operation area and the notification signal is received, the process corresponding to the notification signal is performed and the received position information is not outputted to the transmitting unit,
• wherein in the case where the notification signal is received, a message representing the occurrence of the event is outputted, and
• wherein, the message is displayed in the first operation area.
