1. An electronic device, the device comprising:
- a processor;
a display; and
an interface configured todetect non-contact motion of an operation member,determine, from the detected motion, whether the member crosses a first boundary defined by the display, andinitiate execution of a first process by the processor, when it is determined that the member crosses the first boundary.

Abstract
An interface is provided that employs systems and methods for detecting non-contact motion and contact motion of an operation member. The interface detects non-contact motion of an operation member and determines whether the member has crossed a boundary. In response to detecting that the operation member has crossed a boundary, the interface may initiate the execution of a process. This process may be the display of a second boundary, or some other process. The interface may also detect contact motion of the operation member and initiate execution of a process based on the contact motion.
