Abstract: Provided is an information browsing apparatus provided with a display section on which display surface a touch panel to detect contact of an object is disposed. The information browsing apparatus is capable of displaying a document in a first display form where the entire display section is configured with a single region, and in a second display form where the display section is divided into a plurality of regions and provided with a data processing section. In case handwriting information is inputted straddling two or more than two regions in the second display form, the data processing section judges to which region the handwritten information belongs, thereafter when the display from is changed to the first display form, the data display section displays all of the handwritten information in the region which is judged that the hand written information belongs to the region thereof.

Abstract: A handwriting input device includes: a touch panel which can detect a touch given through a sheet of paper; and a control section. The control section obtains position information of a touch point on the touch panel at first time intervals, and determines a location of a sheet on the touch panel to obtain sheet location information, at second time intervals. The control section outputs the position information of the touch points and the corresponding sheet location information. The control section optionally calculates displacement amounts of the sheet on the basis of a change of the sheet location information, and outputs the position information of the touch points and the corresponding displacement amounts of the sheet. The control section optionally corrects the position information of the touch points on the basis of the displacement amounts of the sheet.
