Abstract:
1. A touch panel control device comprising: a first identification portion that periodically identifies a plurality of pressed cells, the plurality of pressed cells being cells to which a pressing force is applied, among a plurality of cells arranged in a matrix manner on a panel surface of a touch panel; a second identification portion that identifies at least one separation distance based on positions of a plurality of first pressed cells that are identified by the first identification portion at a first timing, the at least one separation distance indicating a distance between a plurality of pressed cells included in the plurality of first pressed cells; a first invalidation portion that invalidates at least one pair of first cells among the plurality of first pressed cells identified at the first timing, the at least one pair of first cells being at least one pair of first pressed cells for which the separation distance identified by the second identification portion satisfies a predetermined condition; a second invalidation portion that invalidates a second cell among a plurality of second pressed cells identified by the first identification portion at a second timing, the second timing being a timing preceding the first timing, and the second cell being a cell in the same position as one of the at least one pair of first cells; the first identification portion at the first timing is based on the first identification portion at the second timing; and a decision portion that decides, as a specified position, a position of at least one pressed cell from among a plurality of pressed cells included in at least one first valid pressed cell and at least one second valid pressed cell, the at least one first valid pressed cell being at least one pressed cell except the at least one pair of first cells invalidated by the first invalidation portion, among the plurality of first pressed cells identified at the first timing, and the at least one second valid pressed cell being at least one pressed cell except the second cell invalidated by the second invalidation portion, among the plurality of second pressed cells identified at the second timing.
