Abstract

The electronic device 1 includes a press detection unit 40 configured to detect a press and a control unit 10 configured to control, when a standard for data based on press is set, such that a parameter value associated with a predetermined process is increased/decreased, according to a difference between the standard and the data based on press detected by the press detection unit 40 , thus portions operated by an operator can be reduced and operation steps by the operator can be reduced as well.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electronic device comprising:
a press detection unit configured to detect a press of a single touch object on an input device of the electronic device; and
a control unit configured to control, such that a zoom mode starts according to the press to a position of the press detection unit and a zooming factor of an image changes according to the press to the position of the press detection unit, wherein
when an operator executes a sliding operation before the zoom mode is started, the image is slid,
when the operator executes the sliding operation during continuation of the zoom mode, the image is not slid and a zoom factor of the image is fixed,
the sliding operation is not a zoom operation, and
the control unit is configured so that the fixing of the zoom factor of the image is executed by the single touch object in contact with an arbitral position of the input device of the electronic device without lifting the single touch object from the arbitral position of the input device and without sliding the single touch object along a surface of the input device.

2. An electronic device comprising:
a press detection unit configured to detect a press; and
a control unit configured to control, such that a zoom mode starts according to the press to a position of the press detection unit and a zooming factor of an image changes according to the press to the position of the press detection unit, wherein
when an operator executes a sliding operation before the zoom mode is started, the image is slid,
when the operator executes the sliding operation during continuation of the zoom mode, the image is not slid and a zoom factor of the image is fixed, and
the sliding operation is not a zoom operation.
