Abstract
An electronic device is provided with a touch panel of a capacitive type and a controller. The controller, based on a detection value of the touch panel, detects capacitance generated between the touch panel and a contact object and detects, as a contact region, a first region having the capacitance smaller than a capacitance of the other region of the touch panel.
