<p>The disclosed portable information terminal (10) is compact to the degree of being graspable in one hand, and when the device is being grasped in one hand by a user, the thumb of said one hand placed over a display unit (14) is detected by a transparent touch panel provided on the display unit (14). At the time of detection, the terminal returns from standby mode, and so a command will not be mistakenly executed. Also, operation input is recognized resulting from a finger (aside from the aforementioned thumb) approaching, touching, or pressing a touch panel (261) provided to the reverse side from the surface to which the display unit (14) is provided, and a pre-associated process command is executed in response to said finger operation input that was recognized, and so a favorable operation input interface for one hand is achieved.</p> |
