Claim:
1. An electronic device comprising: a housing; a display that is disposed inside the housing and that displays predetermined information; an electrostatic-capacitance touch panel that allows visible light corresponding to display contents of the display to pass through the electrostatic-capacitance touch panel; a transparent member that protects the touch panel and that allows the visible light corresponding to the display contents of the display to pass through the transparent member; and a depression detector that detects deformation of the transparent member, wherein 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.
