ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COORDINATE DETECTING METHOD
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a housing;
a display section that is disposed inside the housing and that displays predetermined information;
an electrostatic-capacitance touch panel section that allows visible light corresponding to display contents of the display section to pass through the touch panel section and that determines a two-dimensional coordinate indicated by an indicator having predetermined conductivity;
a transparent member that protects the touch panel section and that allows visible light corresponding to display contents of the display section to pass through the transparent member;
a depression detecting section that detects deformation of the transparent member; and
a control section that validates a two-dimensional coordinate when a plurality of two-dimensional coordinates are determined by the touch panel section and when a predetermined amount of deformation is detected by the depression detecting section, the two-dimensional coordinate being determined last among the plurality of two-dimensional coordinates.

Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic device including: a display section that displays information; an electrostatic-capacitance touch panel layer that allows visible light corresponding to display contents of the display section to pass through the touch panel layer and that determines a two-dimensional coordinate indicated by an indicator having conductivity; glass that protects the touch panel layer and that allows visible light corresponding to display contents of the display section to pass through the glass; a depression sensor that detects deformation of the glass; and a control section that validates a two-dimensional coordinate when a plurality of two-dimensional coordinates are determined by the touch panel layer and when deformation is detected by the depression sensor, the two-dimensional coordinate being determined last among the plurality of two-dimensional coordinates.
