1. A communication system, comprising:
a server apparatus; and
a terminal apparatus connected to the server apparatus and capable of communicating with the server apparatus, wherein the terminal apparatus is configured to transmit, to the server apparatus, response information which is responsive to provided information and which is generated according to a position indication input performed by a user of the terminal apparatus, wherein
the terminal apparatus includes:
a position detection sensor configured to detect the position indication input;
a determination unit configured to distinguishingly determine the position indication input in a response information area corresponding to an input field for the response information and the position indication input in an area outside the response information area, in a position detection area of the position detection sensor; and
a transmission control unit configured to transmit, to the server apparatus, the position indication input in the response information area,
wherein,
the terminal apparatus includes a button operation unit that instructs the terminal apparatus to transmit, to the server apparatus, the position indication input in the area outside the response information area,
the transmission control unit transmits, to the server apparatus, the position indication input in the area outside the response information area in addition to the position indication input in the response information area, when the button operation unit instructs the terminal apparatus to transmit, to the server apparatus, the position indication input in the area outside the response information area, and
the server apparatus has a function of transmitting, to the terminal apparatus, information for restricting operation of the button operation unit.
