Abstract
An electronic device includes a housing, a display, an electrostatic-capacitance touch panel, a transparent member that protects the touch panel, and a depression detector. The touch panel is configured to detect a pair of two-dimensional coordinates indicated by an indicator having predetermined conductivity, wherein when the touch panel detects a plurality of pairs of two-dimensional coordinates and when the depression detector detects a predetermined amount of deformation, at least one pair of two-dimensional coordinates detected during a predetermined time period prior to a time when the deformation is detected is validated; and a pair of two-dimensional coordinates detected before the predetermined time period prior to the time when the deformation is detected, is not validated, wherein the predetermined time period does not include a deformation of an amount equal to or greater than the predetermined amount of deformation.
