Portable electronic apparatus and control method thereof
First Claim
1. Portable electronic apparatus comprising:
- a display unit;
a first sensor element group having a plurality of sensor elements for detecting a contact and arranged continuously adjacent to the display unit side by side;
a switch element formed where the first sensor element group is arranged, wherein the switch element is arranged to overlap a first sensor element and a second sensor element of the plurality of sensor elements; and
a control unit for monitoring a change in a detection state of the first sensor element group and a state of the switch element,wherein, when respectively different processing is assigned to a press of the switch element and a contact of the first sensor element and the second sensor element, the control unit regards a contact detection of the first sensor element and the second sensor element as invalid in a case that the first sensor element and the second sensor element detects the contact when the press of the switch element is detected.

Abstract
Portable electronic apparatus includes a display unit (ELD); a first sensor element group (G1) having a plurality of sensor elements (L1-L4) for detecting a contact and arranged continuously around the display unit side by side; a switch element formed where the first sensor element group is arranged; and a control unit for controlling the portable electronic apparatus to display a plurality of selection candidate items which can be displayed as an operation target region on the display unit, to monitor a change in a detection state of the first sensor element group and a state of the switch element, to change a selection state of a selection candidate item by changing the selection candidate items and/or the operation target region based on the change in the detection state of the first sensor element group, and to execute a selection candidate item in the selection state when the switch element is pressed.

7. A control method of a portable electronic apparatus comprising a display unit, a first sensor element group having a plurality of sensor elements for detecting a contact and arranged continuously adjacent to the display unit side by side, and a switch element formed where the first sensor element group is arranged, wherein the switch element is arranged to overlap a first sensor element and a second sensor element of the plurality of sensor elements, comprising:
-
monitoring a change in a detection state of the first sensor element group and a state of the switch element; and regarding a contact detection of the first sensor element and the second sensor element as invalid, when respectively different processing is assigned to a press of the switch element and a contact of the first sensor element and the second sensor element, in a case that the first sensor element and the second sensor element detects the contact when the press of the switch element is detected.
