To provide a hand-held device with built-in fingerprint sensor provided on a control panel, which does not ruins the operability of the movement of a cursor or a pointer of the display screen.A hand-held device with built-in fingerprint sensor comprises a fingerprint sensor for the fingerprint attestation provided on a control panel. A cursor or a pointer displayed on a display unit is moved according to a time change in the position where the pressure is provided or the movement of the finger on the sensor side of the fingerprint sensor. Further, the timing when said time change is detected is decided according to a time change in the position of the finger on said sensor side or the applied pressure.
