INFORMATION TERMINAL, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INPUT ACCEPTANCE, AND PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING INPUT ACCEPTANCE

摘要

An information terminal has: a gaze determination unit 13 for determining whether user's gaze detected by a gaze detection unit is directed toward a display; and a touch input control unit for performing such control that when the gaze is directed toward the display, an input operation on the touch panel is made acceptable and that when the gaze is not directed toward the display, the input operation on the touch panel is made unacceptable. By this, acceptance/unacceptance of input can be readily controlled, without need for a user's special operation or a lapse of a fixed period of time.
