Abstract
A data processing apparatus capable of detecting an object being in contact with a portion thereof is provided. The data processing apparatus includes a display, a tactile sensor and a controller. The tactile sensor is configured to detect the object and to locate the object on a sensing surface thereof. The controller is coupled to the display and the tactile sensor, configured to locate an initial location of the object on the sensing surface if the object starts being detected, and configured to locate a final location of the object on the sensing surface if the object ends being detected. The controller is configured to select a scroll direction depending on a direction from the initial location to the final location. The controller is configured to select a scroll speed, and configured to scroll a screen displayed on the display in the scroll direction at the scroll speed.
