More Information
Summary:The present invention aims at preventing, in a portable terminal, an erroneous operation resulting from an unintentional operation in operations using a finger sensor. In order to achieve this object, a portable terminal of the present application includes a finger sensor for recognizing a movement of a finger, and a conversion section for converting the movement of the finger recognized by the finger sensor to an input event corresponding to an operation instruction to an application running on the portable terminal. If a period of time from recognition of release of the finger from the finger sensor to recognition of placement of the finger on the finger sensor is less than a predetermined amount of time corresponding to physical limitations of a human, the conversion section does not convert to the input event the recognition of placement of the finger, and recognition of a movement of the finger until recognition of release of the finger after the recognition of placement of the finger.
