Information-processing apparatus and programs used therein
First Claim
1. An information-processing apparatus comprising:
- a coordinate input unit for detecting coordinates of a position specified in an operation carried out by the user on said coordinate input unit; and
a display section in which said coordinate input unit is integrated, wherein said information-processing apparatus gives said user a notice according to the type of said operation carried out by said user on said coordinate input unit as a notice for verifying the state of said operation, verifying a result of said operation or preventing an incorrect operation.

Abstract
In an information-processing apparatus employing a coordinate input unit such as a touch panel, processing of explicitly reporting the state of an operation carried out by the user to the user is carried out in order to present a result of the operation to the user. In the information-processing apparatus employing the coordinate input unit and a display unit integrated with the coordinate input unit, in accordance with the type of an operation carried out by the user on the coordinate input unit, the apparatus issues a notice for verifying the state of the operation as well as a result of the operation and avoiding an incorrect operation to the user. To put it concretely, in the configuration of the information-processing apparatus, by outputting a display detectable by the visual sense, a sound or a vibration pattern in accordance with the number of times contact with the coordinate input unit has been made during an operation or in accordance with the state of sustaining such contact, it is possible to verify whether a tap operation or a drag operation has been carried out as intended by the user.
