Abstract
An electronic device () prevents unintended operations when a contact position shifts, by having a display unit () that displays an object, a contact detection unit () that detects contact by a contacting body, a pressure detection unit () that detects pressure on the detection unit (), and a control unit () that performs processing associated with the object displayed on the display unit () in accordance with a contact position of the contacting body in a region of the detection unit () corresponding to an receiving region of the object and with data based on pressure on the detection unit () acquired from the pressure detection unit (), such that when the contact position of the contacting body changes as the data based on pressure increases, the control unit () changes the receiving region of the object in a direction of change of the contact position.
