Claim:
1. A sensor device comprising: a sensor configured to output a vibration datum by detecting a change in a state of a vibration in a first object having a first surface and a second surface when a second object touches the first object; a holding section configured to hold, at a portion of the first object which is different from a portion where the second object touches, the sensor in a state where the vibration in the first object is transmitted; and a circuitry configured to transmit the vibration datum detected by the sensor to a circuitry configured to identify a touch position where the second object touches the first object by analyzing the vibration datum, wherein the circuitry configured to identify the touch position identifies when the touch position is on the first surface of the first object, and wherein the circuitry configured to identify the touch position identifies when the touch position is on the second surface of the first object.
