Abstract
A capacitance detection part simultaneously receive input of electric charges stored at one electrode, from a plurality of terminals provide to the one electrode. As a result of the simultaneous input, partial electric charges stored between an object and an overlapping portion of one electrode overlapping one segment are distributed as distribution electric charges to each of the plurality of terminals in accordance with a conductance from the overlapping portion to each of the plurality of terminals. The capacitance detection part generates detection data corresponding to the distribution electric charges, for each of N terminals. The element data configuration part configures M pieces of element data corresponding to M segments, on the basis of the N pieces of detection data.
