A matching processing unit () calculates a coincidence between distribution data of sensor values detected by a touch panel () and holding hand reference data (Ref), and a holding hand determination unit () determines a holding hand on the basis of holding hand information of the holding hand reference data (Ref) whose coincidence with detection data is equal to or greater than a threshold.
