Input portion controlling method for e.g. mobile telephone, involves determining whether signal based on operations is output, and outputting determined signal, where determination is based on detected result and preset criteria

摘要

The method involves controlling a signal based on a coordinate input operation and a pressure input operation when a user operates an input portion (21) with a pressure input section (2), and detecting a shape of a contact part of a finger (10) in contact with a surface of the input portion based on the signal obtained from a coordinate input section (1). A determination is made whether the signal based on the coordinate and pressure input operations is output, and the determined signal is output, where the determination is based on the detected result and a predetermined criteria.
