Abstract:
1. A touch sensor system comprising: a touch panel having a two-dimensional region made up of at least one partial region and a remainder region that is other than said at least one partial region; and a control circuit carrying out a first process in accordance with a partial region touch signal corresponding to a touch to said at least one partial region; and carrying out a second process in accordance with a remainder region touch signal corresponding to a touch to the remainder region, the second process being different in kind from the first process, said at least one partial region being a hand placing region within which a hand is to be placed for input to the touch panel, the partial region touch signal being a hand placing region touch signal corresponding to a touch within the hand placing region, the remainder region touch signal including (i) a plot signal generated by a stylus and/or (ii) a touch signal generated by a finger, the control circuit carrying out, in accordance with movement on the touch panel of the hand placing region touch signal, the first process of moving a position of the hand placing region or a process of changing size of the hand placing region, the process of moving a position of the hand placing region including generating the hand placing region touch signal based on a region where the hand is placed, determining a center of mass of a region where the hand is being placed during input to the touch panel using the hand placing region touch signal, and moving the hand placing region such that the hand placing region follows movement of the center of mass, the control circuit carrying out, in accordance with the remainder region touch signal, the second process based on (a) a plot input with respect to the two-dimensional region and/or (b) a touch input with respect to the two-dimensional region.
