TERMINAL DEVICE AND KEY ENTRY METHOD
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A terminal device comprising:
- a touch panel that accepts a touch entry including a first touch on a first key corresponding to a first position and a second touch on a second key corresponding to a second position that is different from the first position; and
a processor that detects the first touch and the second touch, determines elapsed time from the first touch to the second touch when detecting the second touch after detecting the first touch, and decides that the second touch is a touch to the first key when the elapsed time is less than a threshold.

Abstract
The terminal device includes a touch panel that accepts a touch entry including a first touch on a first key corresponding to a first position and a second touch on a second key corresponding to a second position that is different from the first position, and a processor that detects the first touch and the second touch, determines elapsed time from the first touch to the second touch when detecting the second touch after detecting the first touch, and decides that the second touch is a touch to the first key when the elapsed time is less than a threshold.

4. A key entry method in a terminal device comprising a touch panel that accepts a touch entry including a first touch on a first key corresponding to a first position and a second touch on a second key corresponding to a second position that is different from the first position, the method comprising:
-
detecting the first touch and the second touch; when detecting the second touch after detecting the first touch, determining elapsed time from the first touch to the second touch; and when the elapsed time is less than a threshold, deciding that the second touch is a touch to the first key.

5. A storage medium storing a key entry program used in a terminal device comprising a processor and a touch panel that accepts a touch entry including a first touch on a first key corresponding to a first position and a second touch on a second key corresponding to a second position that is different from the first position, the key entry program causing the processor to execute a procedure, the procedure comprising:
-
detecting the first touch and the second touch; when detecting the second touch after detecting the first touch, determining elapsed time from the first touch to the second touch; and when the elapsed time is less than a threshold, deciding that the second touch is a touch to the first key.
