Abstract
An electronic device includes a housing, a planar display section, a planar transparent member, a touch panel layer which detects two-dimensional coordinates of an indicator having a predetermined conductivity along a surface of the display section and a vertical distance to the indicator, and an acceleration detection section which detects at least one of an acceleration of the housing and an acceleration of the transparent member. The two-dimensional coordinates are determined as effective coordinates when the vertical distance is equal to or smaller than a first value. The two-dimensional coordinates are determined as the effective coordinates when the vertical distance is more than the first value and is equal to or smaller than a second value more than the first value, and the acceleration detection section detects a predetermined acceleration.
