AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Enhances user operability by providing a sense of completed input through deformation and prevents errors by setting only valid keys for current operation modes, effectively utilizing limited display areas without character size reduction.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, some erroneous input may happen even when user's cloth has just touched the touch panel screen.
Such an input operation may not provide a user with much sense of actual operation, and the user may not be able to feel that the input of information is completed.
Further, in the information input / display apparatus, in a case of a configuration having both of the information input unit and the information display-unit needs to display information input keys and display information in arrangement on a limited display area, and is thus forced to take a measure of reducing a display information size and / or a key size, resulting in an issue such that the user may also find difficulty in viewing and operating the display information and the information input keys.
