Abstract
A terminal device to accurately define a selection range by an intuitive operation when an object is selected on a touch panel display. The terminal device includes a touch panel display for displaying an object and sensing proximity or contact of a finger, a coordinate sensing unit for detecting a coordinate value of an approaching position or a contacting position of the finger to the touch panel display, and an object selecting unit. The object selecting unit sets a selection range defined by the coordinate values of the plurality of fingers and selects the object included in the selection range when the coordinate values of the plurality of fingers detected by the coordinate sensing unit have been concurrently maintained for a predetermined time.
