Abstract:
An apparatus includes a touch panel display. The touch panel display may include one or more sensors for detecting an input operation on the touch panel display. The input operation may correspond to bending the touch panel display. The apparatus may include circuitry configured to determine a distribution pattern corresponding to sensor values and coordinates output when the input operation is detected. The circuitry may determine, based on the distribution pattern, one or more features of the bending of the touch panel display. The circuitry may execute a predetermined function or process corresponding to the features of the bending.
