Abstract:
A touch-panel cellular phone specifies an invalid area not accepting a user's input operation on a touch panel in advance. The cellular phone detects a user's touch area on the touch panel so as to execute a function pre-assigned to the touch area not encompassed by the invalid area. Additionally, it is possible to reduce and display menu icons in the display area precluding the invalid area on the touch panel. Thus, it is possible to prevent an error operation when a user holding a cellular phone inadvertently touches the touch panel.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of specifying an invalid area on a touch panel, the method comprising:\n detecting a touch area on the touch panel; specifying an invalid area having an arbitrary shape based on a shape of the touch area after a predetermined operation is input; and recording the invalid area as not accepting a user's input operation on the touch panel.
