Abstract:
1. A touch panel control device comprising: a first identification portion that identifies a plurality of pressed cells, the plurality of pressed cells being a plurality of 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 a separation distance between the plurality of pressed cells identified by the first identification portion, the separation distance indicating a degree of separation between a pair of the pressed cells; an extraction portion that extracts, from a pair of the pressed cells indicating a separation distance that is largest among the separation distances identified by the second identification portion, one of the pressed cells; and a decision portion that decides, as a specified position, a position of the pressed cell extracted by the extraction portion, the specified position being a specified position on the panel surface wherein the extraction portion selects a minimum separation distance for each of the pressed cells, the minimum separation distance being a separation distance that is smallest among a plurality of the separation distances identified for one of the pressed cells; and the extraction portion extracts a pair of the pressed cells indicating the minimum separation distance that is largest among the minimum separation distances selected for each of the pressed cells.
