Abstract
Positions of the user's fingers placed on a touch panel are detected, and buttons are arranged at the detected positions so that the buttons can be used for selecting a function. Due to the foregoing, even when a visually handicapped user does not memorize the button positions, it is possible for the user to conduct operation. It is possible to provide a user interface environment in which the visually handicapped user can conduct operation highly effectively without using specific parts.
