Abstract:
1. An electronic device, comprising: a touch panel configured to display an image; a contact sensor configured to detect a contact; a housing having a front face in which the touch panel is provided and a side face in which the contact sensor is provided; and a control unit, wherein, in response to a sliding operation detected by the contact sensor while a first image, which is one of stacked images, is displayed on the touch panel, the control unit is configured to cause the touch panel to turn the first image to display a second image, which is another one of the stacked images, wherein wherein, in response to the contact sensor detecting a contact to the side face and sliding on the side face in a direction perpendicular to and toward the front face, the control unit is configured to perform a process other than an image switching operation of switching between images among the stacked images, wherein the side face is perpendicular to the front face, and wherein the contact sensor, in the direction perpendicular to the front face, has a first width at corners of the housing and a second width in a middle section between the corners.
