  • Patent number: 11726615
    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.

  • Patent number: 11720206
    Abstract: A touch panel device includes processing circuitry to generate coordinate information based on a signal outputted from the touch panel and to output a detection value based on depressing force. The processing circuitry previously stores a plurality of pieces of predictive detection value information, selects a piece of predictive detection value information based on a gradient of the detection value, obtains a final predictive detection value that the predictive detection value finally reaches by using the selected predictive detection value information, obtains a present predictive detection value by using the selected predictive detection value information, and executes a correction process of reducing influence of a memory effect by bringing a present detection value close to the final predictive detection value when an absolute value of a difference between the present predictive detection value and the present detection value is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value.
