Electronic apparatus and method of operating electronic apparatus through touch sensor

摘要

An electronic apparatus has a touch sensor provided with a first touching zone including at least a second touching zone and a third touching zone, the second and third touching zones being allocated with different functions. The electronic apparatus is controlled to perform a specific function assigned to a specific touching zone that is the second or the third touching zone when there is a first touch input at first through the specific touching zone and continuously perform the specific function even if there is a second touch input that follows the first touch input, through either the second or the third touching zone that is not the specific touching zone, as long as there is a continuous touch input through the first touching zone from the first to the second touch input with no intermission.

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a touch sensor; a controller to perform; a process of controlling a first operation so as to be performed in response to a first action that is carried out while a touched state of the touch sensor is maintained after a first zone of the touch sensor is touched after an untouched state of the touch sensor; a process of controlling a second operation so as to be performed in response to a second action that is carried out due to a second zone of the touch sensor being touched after an untouched state of the touch sensor and the second zone of the touch sensor being touched again after an untouched state of the touch sensor; a display section to display a first image corresponding to the first action and a second image corresponding to the second action; wherein, while the display section is displaying the image corresponding to the first action and the image corresponding to the second action, the controller controls the display section so as erase the second image corresponding to the second action due to the first zone being touched after an untouched state of the touch sensor.
