Touch panel and electronic device
A touch panel includes a first sensor panel including at least one receiving electrode, a second sensor panel including at least one transmission electrode, and overlaid on the first sensor panel, and a third sensor panel including a predetermined electrode at least a part of which overlaps with the one transmission electrode, and overlaid on the second sensor panel. A transmission signal identical to that for the one transmission electrode can be applied on the predetermined electrode.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a touch panel that detects a grasp by detecting an approach of a body part outside an edge of the touch panel, and detects a contact of a body part on the touch panel; and
a vibration device,
wherein, while the touch panel detects the grasp, when the touch panel detects the contact, the vibration device vibrates at least a portion of the electronic device for a predetermined time; and
wherein, while the touch panel does not detect the grasp, when the touch panel detects the contact, no portion of the electronic device vibrates.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the vibration device is at least one of a vibrator, a piezo actuator, and a vibration actuator.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display device,
wherein, while the touch panel does not detect the grasp, when the touch panel detects the contact, the display device performs a predetermined display operation.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a display device,
wherein, while the touch panel does not detect the grasp, when the touch panel detects the contact, the display device performs a predetermined display operation for a predetermined time.
5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising
a sound emitter,
wherein, while the touch panel does not detect the grasp, when the touch panel detects the contact, the sound emitter emits a predetermined sound.
6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a sound emitter,
wherein, while the touch panel does not detect the grasp, when the touch panel detects the contact, the sound emitter emits a predetermined sound for a predetermined time.
7. A vibration control method employable in an electronic device including a vibration device, and a touch panel, the method comprising:
detecting, by the touch panel, a grasp by detecting an approach of a body part outside an edge of the touch panel;
detecting, by the touch panel, a contact of a body part on the touch panel;
vibrating the vibration device for a predetermined time, when the touch panel detects the contact, while the touch panel detects the grasp; and
vibrating no portion of the electronic device, when the touch panel detects the contact, while the touch panel detects the grasp.
