Abstract
A coordinate input control method is used in a display-integrated coordinate input apparatus which includes a display having thereon a first area and a second area, and a single coordinate-input unit, and in which the coordinate input means inputs coordinates on the display. The method determines if the coordinates input by the coordinate input unit are on the second area. When it is determined that the input coordinates are on the second area, it is determined whether the coordinates on the second area have been consecutively input since processing on the first area. When it is determined that the coordinates have been consecutively input, designation of processing on the second area is nullified.
