Abstract:
1. A terminal apparatus comprising: a display panel arranged on a housing; a display processing unit that processes an image displayed on the display panel; an output unit that externally outputs the image processed by the display processing unit or an instruction regarding the image to an external device; a touch-panel that detects a contact or approach of an object with or toward a surface of the display panel; a motion sensor that detects a motion of the housing; and a control unit having circuitry that when the touch-panel detects the contact or approach of the object having a greater size than or equal to a predetermined size, controls the output unit to output an image or an instruction corresponding to the motion detected by the motion sensor, wherein when the control unit detects the contact or approach of the object of greater than or equal to a predetermined size, the control unit deactivates the touch-panel from detecting further contact or approach of the object in response to the output unit being activated to control an image on the external device based on a motion of the housing.
