Claim 3:
4. The capacitance type input apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
in response to determining, as a result of the second comparison, that there are two outputs that are less than or equal to any of the plurality of comparison thresholds among the outputs, and that the two outputs are both within a range between two common comparison thresholds that are adjacent to each other among the plurality of comparison thresholds or within a range between a lowest comparison threshold among the plurality of comparison thresholds and the first threshold,
the determining unit determines that the touch operation is performed on a touch switch corresponding to an output that is obtained first between the two outputs or an output obtained last between the two outputs, among the plurality of touch switches.
