Abstract:
1. Portable electronic apparatus comprising: a first sensor element group and a second sensor element group each having a plurality of sensor elements for detecting a contact and arranged continuously; and a control unit capable of performing a first control in which individual controls are performed according to whether a contact is detected by a sensor element of the first sensor element group or the second sensor element group, wherein the first sensor element group and the second sensor element group are arranged annularly so that their ends are adjacent to each other, the control unit performs the first control when a continuous contact is detected only within the first sensor element group or only within the second sensor element group, the first control being based on change of position of the contact within the first or the second sensor element group, and the control unit performs a second control when a continuous contact is detected annularly within the first sensor element group and then the second sensor element group, the second control being different from the first control and the second control removes a security lock.
