1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a touch panel with a detection function;
an antenna for near field communication, the antenna being provided on a back surface of the touch panel;
a plurality of proximity sensors provided around the antenna and configured to detect a proximity of a communication medium; and
a processor, wherein
in a case that at least two proximity sensors, of the plurality of proximity sensors, simultaneously detect the proximity of the communication medium for communicating with the antenna, the processor sets an operating mode of the electronics apparatus to a near field communication mode for wireless transmission by the antenna and stops the detection function of the touch panel.
