Patent ID: 6940494

Claim:
A display unit having a display panel, and a touch panel disposed on a display surface of the display panel for detecting a position touched by indicating means, said touch panel permitting an operator to touch a touch-driven member displayed on said display surface to handle said touch-driven member, said display unit comprising: sensing means for sensing a pushing force P produced by said indicating means when said indicating means touches said touch-driven member; and a control unit for performing first processing associated with said touch-driven member pushed by the indicating means when the pushing force P detected by said sensing means is equal to or larger than a first set pressure P 1 and smaller than a second set pressure P 2 (P 1 <=P<P 2 ), said second set pressure P 2 being larger than said first set pressure P 1 , and for performing second processing associated with said touch-driven member pushed by said indicating means when the pushing force P is equal to or larger than the second set pressure P 2 (P 2 <=P), wherein said first processing includes dragging said touch-driven member following said indicating means pursuant to a movement of said indicating means, and said second processing includes activating a processing previously assigned to said touch-driven member, and wherein said second processing includes activating the function previously assigned to said touch-driven member in combination with a region to which said touch-driven member is moved through said first processing.
