A

Abstract:

PURPOSE: To reduce a load of an application program by providing a touch panel input recognizing part an an attribute table.

CONSTITUTION: When a touch panel having input points of 5×14 provided on an LCD panel 2 is depressed, a touch panel I/F3 informs a fact that the touch panel has been depressed, to a central processor 5 by a touch panel input interruption. The central processor 5 checks an attribute of the depressed touch panel position by a panel attribute table 7, by using a touch panel input recognizing part 6. The panel attribute table 7 has, for instance, an attribute of one byte at every input point of 5×14. In this way, a panel attribute table is allowed to have information for setting a keyboard, and an application is not conscious of those information.
