Abstract:
1. A terminal device comprising: an operation surface that includes a display; an input detector that detects an indicator and determines at least one of a position of the indicator contacting the operation surface and a distance of the indicator from the operation surface in a vertical direction; and circuitry configured to wherein, the circuitry determines that the first operation is input when it is detected that a detection area of the indicator which is detected in a position which is away from the operation surface by as much as a specified distance, the detection area being defined on the operation surface, becomes smaller than in a case of an initial indicator detection, and it is detected that the distance of the indicator from the operation surface becomes longer than in the case of the initial indicator detection wherein, the circuitry determines that a second operation which is an operation performed to open up space between two fingers is input by the user when it is detected that an area of the indicator, the area being detected on the operation surface, becomes larger than in case of the initial indicator detection, wherein when the first operation is detected by the circuitry, the circuitry performs control to delete the data from the display as part of the predetermined control, and when the second operation is subsequently detected by the circuitry, the circuitry performs control to paste the data stored in the temporary save destination to a position defined on the operation surface where the second operation is performed, and wherein the circuitry performs control to store the pasted data in a save destination corresponding to the area displayed on the position defined on the operation surface where the second operation is performed.
