Abstract
An MFP (Multi Function Peripheral) serving as a display device detects a touch on the touch panel and then sets a wait time in accordance with the position of the touch on the touch panel. If another touch is detected before the wait time has passed since the touch on the touch panel is detected, the MFP determines that the detected two touches are multi-touch. If the wait time has passed without detecting another touch since the touch on the touch panel is detected, the MFP determines that the detected touch is single touch.
