Abstract:
1. A touch panel device comprising: an electrostatic-capacitance-type touch panel unit having a plurality of transparent electrodes arranged in an X direction and in a Y direction; an electrical potential detection unit configured to scan the plurality of transparent electrodes and detect electrostatic capacitance values at coordinates in the X direction and in the Y direction; a memory configured to store an association of each of a plurality of types of objects, which include at least two different types of fingers of a user, to a different range of width values for a width of a bottom side of a distribution shape among parameters forming the distribution shape of the electrostatic capacitance values, the bottom side width representing a width on the touch panel unit where a signal level is lowest among the electrostatic capacitance values that change as the object comes closer to the touch panel unit; and circuitry configured to
