  • Patent number: 9582155
    Abstract: A touch panel acquires position information indicating the position of contact with or approach to an operation surface in every period divided by predetermined intervals. An action judging unit judges whether or not an action by contact with or approach to the operation surface of the touch panel is a first predetermined action. An operation determining unit determines a start page of automatic page-turning in which display pages of a document to be displayed are changed from one page to another in sequence on the basis of the position information and the information indicating the history of the position information when the action judging unit judges that action by the contact with or the approach to the operation surface of the touch panel is the first predetermined action.
