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 signals; a signal strength obtaining unit for obtaining strengths of the sense signals received by the receiving unit; a signal strength adjusting unit that adjusts the sense signal strength that is equal to or greater than a threshold, to a first adjustment value, and adjusts the strength that is less than the threshold, to a second adjustment value; and an operated position obtaining unit for obtaining the operated position based on sense signals in which an average of the adjusted strengths corresponding to the respective drive pulses is equal to or greater than a given average.
