Title: Electronic apparatus and method for controlling the same
Inventor: TOMOYUKI SHIOZAKI
IPC: H04N5/232
Filed: 2017-01-05
Abstract: An electronic apparatus, e.g. digital camera 100, detects multiple touch operations together at a plurality of positions on a touch panel 28. A setting unit sets one of the touch operations 422 as valid if it meets a predetermined movement condition, and invalidates the other detected touch input. The valid touch operation will then be used to control the apparatus, whereas any invalid touch operations will be ignored. The movement condition may relate to a movement speed range. The touches may each be assigned an identification number and those touches classified as invalid may retain this classification even after the valid touch operation ends. The invention may be used to disregard unintended touches on the camera touch display from e.g. a users nose while they hold their eye to the viewfinder 16, while intentional touches from the users thumb or finger 402 can still be used to control the camera.
