Abstract
To provide an electronic apparatus capable of detecting difference ways of touching, to provide an electronic apparatus capable of detecting different ways of touching with the small number of components, and to provide an electronic apparatus capable of executing various processing with simple operation.SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus includes a control part, and a display part. The display part has a function for displaying an image on a screen, and has a detection part. The detection part has a function for detecting touch operation and a function for imaging a body to be detected brought into contact with the screen at least two times. The control part has a function for calculating a difference between the area of the body to be detected in first imaging and the area of the body to be detected in second imaging, and executing different processing between when the area is larger than reference and when the area is smaller.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
