In an information terminal including a touch panel defining a plurality of touch points for security data entry by selecting and designating the touch points forming a prescribed graphic security pattern, the first touch point is confirmed only when a pointing member has continued to remain within a prescribed region surrounding the touch point for more than a first prescribed time period while the remaining touch points can be confirmed on a less rigorous condition so that the first touch point can be confirmed only when the user intentionally designates the first touch point, and an inadvertent confirmation of an unintended touch point as the first touch point can be effectively avoided.

Information terminal

Provided are a display device, and a display method which improve operability of a proximity operation and a contact operation by using an interface display such as a magnification adjustment-use interface. Provided is a display unit that includes a control unit, a storage unit, a display unit, a display processing unit, a sensor unit, a coordinate acquisition unit, a reference position determining unit, and a defined region determining unit. A user approximates an instruction medium to the display unit and closely holds the instruction medium, for example, in a portion to be enlarged on a map displayed on the display unit. The display processing unit which received detection signals by the sensor unit displays an interface in which enlargement is performed on the map in a proximity of an instruction medium based on the obtained position coordinates.
