Abstract
One of a function as a direction key and a function as a confirmation key is executed by a user pressing a display with a finger. When a pressing force detector detects perpendicular movement of the display to a side of an upper surface of the information processing terminal body and a sensor detects sliding of the display in any direction of a side wall surface of the information processing terminal body, the function as the direction key is executed when the moving distance detected by the sensor exceeds a predetermined movement threshold, and the function as the confirmation key is executed when the moving distance is within the movement threshold. Accordingly, it is possible to allow the user to operate the display more intuitively and easily, and to prevent malfunction without disturbing compactness and the like while securing a maximum screen area.
