Abstract:
1. A mobile terminal comprising: a touch sensor circuit that includes a capacitive touchpad unit and outputs a measurement value indicating a capacitance for the touchpad unit; a computing unit that computes a sensor output value based on the measurement value output from the touch sensor circuit; an updating unit that updates the sensor output value so as to be equal to a predetermined reference value when the updating unit receives an update instruction; a judging unit that judges that a judgment threshold switching unit that switches from the noncontact-judgment threshold to be used in a subsequent judgment by the judging unit to a provisional noncontact-judgment threshold for a time period starting when the update takes place while the operating member is in contact with the touchpad unit and ending when the judging unit judges that the operating member is no longer in contact with the touchpad unit, and switches from the provisional noncontact-judgment threshold back to the noncontact-judgment threshold after the time period.
