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 due to a first zone of the touch sensor being 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; a process of controlling the second operation so as not to be performed due to the second zone being touched while a touched state of the touch sensor is maintained after the first zone is touched after an untouched state of the touch sensor; and a display section to display an image; wherein, while the display section is displaying a plurality of images, the controller controls the display section so as to erase at least one image of the plurality of images and display an image other than the plurality of images in an area that is at least partially overlapped with an area in which the at least one image used to be displayed in the untouched state, due to the first zone being touched after an untouched state of the touch sensor.
