  • Patent number: 11880532
    Abstract: In an electronic apparatus, a touch sensor has a first area and a second area not overlapping with the first area. The controller performs a first calibration process to define a first coordinate range of the first area by correcting a coordinate deviation of the first area on the basis of detection of a touch operation to touch a predetermined first target portion in the first area. The controller performs a second calibration process to define a second coordinate range of the second area on the basis of the first coordinate range defined in the first calibration process and relative position information stored in a memory. When the second coordinate range defined in the second calibration process meets a predetermined condition, the controller performs a third calibration process to correct the second coordinate range to achieve that the corrected second coordinate range does not meet the predetermined condition.
