1. An electronic device comprising:
- a capacitive touch sensor including a sensor area;
a processor configured to perform, upon detection by the capacitive touch sensor of a capacitance increase greater than or equal to a first threshold, processing corresponding to a touched position; and
a controller configured to perform control to restrict the processing corresponding to the touched position in a case where a certain condition is satisfied even when the capacitive touch sensor detects the capacitance increase greater than or equal to the first threshold, the certain condition including a capacitance increase greater than or equal to a second threshold being detected in an edge area of the sensor area of the capacitive touch sensor, the second threshold being less than the first threshold.

Abstract
A touch sensor driver circuit drives a capacitive touch sensor to detect the presence of an operation performed with a conductive member and detects a position of the operation. A controller performs processing corresponding to the operation on the touch sensor with the conductive member. In a case where detection of a capacitance greater than or equal to a threshold in an edge area of a sensor area of the capacitive touch sensor and a touch operation in a central area that is the sensor area excluding the edge area occur at the same time, the controller ignores the touch operation.
