Abstract
The smartphone includes an I/F unit that can be coupled with an HMD, a touch sensor, and a mode switching unit. The mode switching unit is configured to switch, depending on whether the I/F unit is coupled with the HMD, between a first mode in which an input detected by the touch sensor is received as an input in an absolute coordinate, and a second mode in which an input detected by the touch sensor is received as an input in a relative coordinate, to execute the first mode or the second mode.
