Load required to cancel an input on a touch sensor is adjusted when the slide of a touch object is detected

Abstract

An electronic device for receiving an input based on a pressure load that reduces a risk of ending a drag operation despite a user's intention is provided. The electronic device includes a touch sensor configured to detect a touch by a touch object, a load detection unit configured to detect a pressure load on a touch face of the touch sensor, and a control unit configured to enter or cancel an input receiving state for receiving an input based on the pressure load detected by the load detection unit. The control unit, in the input receiving state, controls to make a standard load for canceling the input receiving state when a slide of the touch object touching the touch face is detected and a standard load for canceling the input receiving state when the slide of the touch object touching the touch face is not detected different from each other.
