Abstract
A touch panel device includes processing circuitry to generate coordinate information indicating a position of a touch operation; to generate a pressing value corresponding to pressing force applied to an operation surface of a touch panel; to classify the positions of touch operations included in operation logs each being data including the coordinate information and information indicating the pressing value into groups and to determine group regions respectively corresponding to the groups; to determine a threshold value of the pressing value in each of the group regions based on the operation logs; and to judge that the touch operation is a depressing operation with pressing force if the pressing value is greater than or equal to the threshold value and to judge that the touch operation is a normal touch operation other than the depressing operation if the pressing value is less than the threshold value.
