ELECTRONIC DEVICE, OPERATION CONTROL METHOD, AND OPERATION CONTROL PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a display unit;
a detection unit for detecting contact with the display unit;
a vibration unit for vibrating the detection unit; and
a control unit for switching between a first state where a predetermined process is not performed based on an operation by contact with the display unit and a second state where the predetermined process is performed based on the operation by contact with the display unit, whereinupon the detection unit detecting contact at a predetermined position on the display unit in the first state,the control unit causes the vibration unit to vibrate the detection unit based on the contact, and switches from the first state to the second state.

Abstract
According to an aspect, an electronic device includes: a display unit; a detection unit for detecting contact with the display unit; a vibration unit for vibrating the detection unit; and a control unit for switching between a first state where a predetermined process is not performed based on an operation by contact with the display unit and a second state where the predetermined process is performed based on the operation by contact with the display unit. When the detection unit detects contact at a predetermined position on the display unit in the first state, the control unit causes the vibration unit to vibrate the detection unit based on the contact, and switches from the first state to the second state.

13. An operation control method to be executed by an electronic device including
a display unit, a detection unit for detecting contact with the display unit, and a vibration unit for vibrating the detection unit, the operation control method comprising: -
the detection unit detecting contact with the display unit in a first state where a predetermined process based on an operation by contact with the display unit is not performed; the vibration unit vibrating the display unit based on the contact detected by the detection unit; and upon the detection unit detecting contact at a predetermined position on the detection unit in the first state, switching from the first state to a second state where the predetermined process based on the operation by the contact with the display unit is performed.

14. An operation control program to cause an electronic device including
a display unit, a detection unit for detecting contact with the display unit, and a vibration unit for vibrating the detection unit to execute: -
the detection unit detecting contact with the display unit in a first state where a predetermined process based on an operation by contact with the display unit is not performed; the vibration unit vibrating the detection unit based on the contact detected by the detection unit; and upon the detection unit detecting contact at a predetermined position on the display unit in the first state, switching from the first state to a second state where the predetermined process based on the operation by the contact with the display unit is performed.

15. An electronic device comprising:
-
a touch sensor; a vibration unit for vibrating the touch sensor; and a control unit for switching between a first state of not performing a predetermined process based on an operation by contact with the touch sensor and a second state of performing the predetermined process based on an the operation by contact with the touch sensor, wherein upon detection of contact at a predetermined position on the touch sensor in the first state, the control unit causes the vibration unit to vibrate the touch sensor based on the contact, and switches from the first state to the second state.
