Abstract

A display unit ( 13 ) displays objects. A contact detection unit ( 11 ) detects contact at positions corresponding to the objects displayed on the display unit ( 13 ). A pressure detection unit ( 12 ) detects pressure due to contact on the contact detection unit ( 11 ). A control unit ( 10 ) executes processing associated with an object displayed on the display unit ( 13 ) when the contact detection unit ( 11 ) detects contact at a position corresponding to the object and data based on the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit ( 12 ) satisfies a predetermined standard. The control unit ( 10 ) executes control so that the predetermined standard differs among display areas of the display unit ( 13 ) on which the objects are displayed.

Claims (18)

1. A portable electronic device comprising:

a display that displays a plurality of objects;

a contact detector that detects contact at a plurality of positions corresponding to the objects displayed on the display;

a pressure detector that detects pressure due to contact on the contact detector; and

a controller that executes processing associated with an object displayed on the display when the contact detector detects contact at a position corresponding to the object and data based on the pressure detected by the pressure detector satisfies a predetermined standard, wherein

the display includes a plurality of display areas and each of the plurality of display areas is independently associated with a non-zero predetermined standard; and for each display area, the controller sets the predetermined standard, which has been associated with the display area, to an object displayed in the display area.

2. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller executes control so that when a contact count of a number of times the contact detector detects contact to an object in a same display area of the display satisfies a predetermined value, the predetermined standard for display areas other than the same display area is lower than the predetermined standard for the same display area.

3. The portable electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller executes control so that, in accordance with a distance from a display area for which the contact count satisfies the predetermined value, the predetermined standard for display areas other than the display area is incrementally lowered.

4. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller executes control so that the predetermined standard for a display area at an upper portion of a screen of the display is lower than the predetermined standard for other display areas.

5. The portable electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the controller executes control so that the predetermined standard is incrementally lowered from a display area at a lower portion of the screen of the display towards a display area at the upper portion of the screen.

6. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller executes control so that the predetermined standard differs among the display areas in accordance with an application displaying the objects on the display.

7. A portable electronic device comprising:

a display that displays a plurality of objects;

a contact detector that detects contact at a plurality of positions corresponding to the objects displayed on the display;

a pressure detector that detects pressure due to contact on the contact detector; and

a controller that executes processing associated with an object displayed on the display when the contact detector detects contact at a position corresponding to the object and data based on the pressure detected by the pressure detector satisfies a predetermined standard, wherein

the controller executes control so that the predetermined standard differs among a plurality of display areas of the display, and

the controller executes control so that when a contact count of a number of times the contact detector detects contact to an object in a same display area of the display satisfies a predetermined value, the predetermined standard for display areas other than the same display area is lower than the predetermined standard for the same display area.
