MOBILE TERMINAL DEVICE, OPERATION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal device comprising:
- a touch panel that detects an input operation;
an input detector that detects a predetermined contact of the input operation on the touch panel, and changes the frequency of detection by the touch panel; and
processing circuitry that controls the input detector to decrease the frequency of detection by the touch panel to a certain level when the input operation is not detected by the touch panel over a specified time period, and executes a specific operation when the predetermined contact of the input operation on the touch panel corresponding to the specific operation is detected by the input detector when the frequency of detection by the touch panel is the certain level.

Abstract
A mobile terminal device includes a touch panel where a specified input operation is performed with an indicator, an input detection unit, and an operation determination unit. The input detection unit detects the pattern of the input operation based on the position of the indicator on the touch panel, and decreases the frequency of execution of processing arranged to detect the input operation performed on the touch panel when an input operation performed on the touch panel is not detected over a specified time period. When the pattern of the input operation is detected in the case where the execution frequency of the processing arranged to detect the input operation is low, the operation determination unit causes a controlled unit determined to be an operation target in relation to the pattern of the input operation to execute a specified operation.
