Abstract:
1. A touch panel system comprising a touch invalidating section which, in a case where a specific point of a capacitance type touch panel is continuously touched one time for a predetermined period of time, invalidates an instruction that is given, in accordance with the touch, to an electronic apparatus including the touch panel, the touch invalidating section judging whether or not the touch continues for a touch time threshold value which is a period of time corresponding to the predetermined period of time, in a case where the specific point is continuously touched for the predetermined period of time, the touch invalidating section invalidating an instruction corresponding to a next touch on the specific point, wherein the next touch on the specific point is a touch on the specific point which starts after the touch continues for the predetermined period of time on the specific point and is subsequently removed, the touch invalidating section judging that the specific point is being touched, in a case where a level of a signal indicative of a degree of contact of an object with the point is not less than a touch threshold value, which is a standard for the level, or in a case where the level is above the touch threshold value, and the touch invalidating section increasing the touch threshold value so that the level of the signal of the touch is not more than the touch threshold value thus increased, in a case where the specific point is continuously touched for the predetermined period of time.
