Portable terminal equipment as a mobile telephone includes a display device (18) disposed with a front surface (11) of a housing (10, 60). A first touch sensor (19) is provided in the display device. A lateral recess (25, 50, 57, 64a-64d) is formed in at least one side surface (15, 16, 63) of the housing. A side touch sensor (27, 52, 65) is disposed in the housing in a range including the lateral recess. Preferably, the lateral recess is constituted by plural lateral recesses formed in the one side surface. Also, a state detection device recognizes a lateral recess where contact is detected among the plural lateral recesses by use of the side touch sensor. A disabling device disables the side touch sensor from detecting contact in a lateral recess among the lateral recesses other than the lateral recess where contact is detected, for adaptation to finger operation of one of right and left hands. |
