Abstract
A touch panel device includes: an operation position obtaining unit for obtaining operation positions touched by operating members, the positions being determined based on signals outputted from a touch panel; an intersection determination unit for, when input is given by multi-touch operation, determining whether a first path and a second path intersect each other, the first path being a path of the operation position of one of the operating members, the second path being a path of the operation position of the other operating member; and a correction unit for, when the determination that the first path and the second path intersect each other is made, substituting the operation position of the one operating member for the operation position of the other operating member, and substituting the operation position of the other operating member for the operation position of the one operating member.
