Abstract
An information processing device including a control unit reduces an occurrence of a malfunction without changing a layout of a displayed object in a situation where a user supports the information processing device with one hand and performs the touch operation with that hand. The control unit sets a first area and a second area on a screen and senses a position on the screen touched by the user. An operation identified in accordance with the position sensed in the first area is invalidated so as not to be executed in the information processing device if the touch position was sensed in the second area within a predetermined time after the touch position was sensed in the first area.
