Abstract
A touch panel device having a touch panel includes: a driving unit for sending drive pulse signals to the touch panel; a receiving unit for receiving sense signals based on an operated position on the touch panel; a driving control unit for controlling the driving unit to send the drive pulse signal; a signal strength obtaining unit for obtaining strengths of the sense signals received by the receiving unit; and an operated position obtaining unit for obtaining the operated position based on sense signals, of the sense signals, in which an average of the strengths of the sense signals corresponding to the respective pulses of the drive pulse signal is equal to or greater than a given average and a variance of the strengths of the sense signals corresponding to the respective pulses of the drive pulse signal is less than a given variance.
