Abstract
An input control device includes a touch information acquiring unit for acquiring touch information from a touch panel, a touch angle calculating unit for calculating an angle of a touched area on the basis of the touch information acquired by the touch information acquiring unit, an operating direction estimating unit for estimating the direction of an operator who has touched the touch panel, on the basis of both the angle of the touched area, the angle being calculated by the touch angle calculating unit, and an angle threshold, a detection information acquiring unit for acquiring detection information from a sensor for detecting a part of the operator's body, a relative position estimating unit for estimating a relative position of the part of the operator's body with respect to the touch panel on the basis of the detection information acquired by the detection information acquiring unit, and a threshold correcting unit for correcting the angle threshold on the basis of the relative position of the part of the operator's body with respect to the touch panel, the relative position being estimated by the relative position estimating unit.
