Claim:
1. An electronic device comprising: a contact detection unit configured to detect a contact made by a contacting object on a display portion; a pressure detection unit configured to detect pressure applied to the contact detection unit, the contact detection unit being configured to detect the contact made by the contacting object as a selection on the display portion on which the contact was made when data based on the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit satisfies a selection standard; and a control unit configured to perform control so that predetermined processing is carried out on a selected display portion to which the selection was detected when the data based on the pressure detected by the pressure detection unit satisfies a predetermined standard higher than the selection standard, wherein when the contact detection unit detects another contact within a predetermined time period after the predetermined processing being carried out on the selected display portion, the control unit performs control so that the predetermined processing is carried out when the data based on the pressure satisfies a standard lower than the predetermined standard and higher than the selection standard.
