摘要

A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 14 that is provided on a case 12 so as to be rendered as a narrow frame, a touch panel 16 that is provided on the display 14, etc. An operation inhibition area (80a, 80b) is set to the left side and the right side of a touch effective area of the touch panel 16, respectively. If the operation inhibition area is touched in a state where an arbitrary function is being executed, for example, the operation inhibition area and a cancellation icon (82) are displayed on the display 14. If a temporary cancellation operation is performed at this time, the operation inhibition area is temporarily canceled.
