Abstract: An information processing device having a touch panel adopts an electronic tag application to display an electronic tag icon on the screen. Upon detecting a user's operation to select the electronic tag icon, a tag form is displayed on the screen. It is determined as to whether or not the tag form is moved and displayed to overlap with the predetermined area of the screen via a user's operation. Herein, it is possible to automatically extract write information from display information with which the tag form is displayed and overlapped. The write information is recorded and displayed in the tag form. Alternatively, it is possible to record tag form data, representing the tag form and the write information, in connection with a desired application. Additionally, it is possible to transmit tag form data to another information processing device.

For example, it sequentially performs page turning on display information on the touch screens TD1, TD2, as display control corresponding to the slide operation.

Abstract: A touch position calculation unit 113 calculating the touch position based on detected intensities at a touch panel unit 150 compares the detected intensities with a threshold to determine whether the touch is valid. Here, since display noise caused by the display screen of a display unit 132 affects the touch detection, the touch position calculation unit 113 acquires the display state of the display unit 132 from a display control unit 112. The touch position calculation unit 113 makes reference to a condition list stored in a memory 160 and sets up a threshold corresponding to the display state as the touch detection condition. Information indicating the display state includes the screen design typified by coloration patterns and the total gradation value corresponding to the voltage applied to the screen.
