Claim 4:
5. The capacitance type input apparatus according to claim 4, wherein
in response to determining that there area plurality of outputs that are higher than the first threshold among the outputs of the plurality of touch switches as a result of the second comparison,
with respect to each of the plurality of outputs, the determining unit
selects one output among the plurality of outputs as a particular output, and
determines whether the selected particular output is less than or equal to any of the plurality of comparison thresholds and whether a non-particular output other than the selected particular output among the plurality of outputs is less than or equal to any of the plurality of comparison thresholds,
to thereby extract the two outputs that are less than or equal to any of the comparison thresholds.
