Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a display detects a position of a first contact in which an area of contact with an object is equal to or smaller than a first threshold value, and a position of a second contact in which an area of contact with an object is equal to or larger than a second threshold value, a corrector corrects the position in which the first contact is sensed, and a drawing module draws at least one of a locus of a position corrected by the correction module, and a locus of the position of the first contact. The corrector corrects the position in which the first contact is sensed, by using at least one of whether the second contact is sensed, and a positional relationship between the first contact and the second contact.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic apparatus comprising: a display configured to be able to detect a position of a first contact and a position of a second contact, wherein an area of the first contact is smaller than a first threshold value, an area of the second contact is larger than a second threshold value, and the second threshold value is larger than the first threshold value; a processor configured to correct a first position of the first contact and to generate a seco…
