Even when a slide operation is performed over a boundary between a plurality of touch panels arranged so as to be adjacent to one another, the operation can be detected appropriately. An input device 1 includes a plurality of touch panels 101 to 104 arranged so as to be adjacent to each other. A controller 11 detects an input operation as to each of the touch panels, and outputs contact information that contains a contact position on a touch panel coordinate plane corresponding to the input operation on the touch panel, and release detection information that indicates whether or not the contact position is a release position at which the contact with the touch panel stopped. In a case where the contact position in the contact information for one of the touch panels is a release position, when a contact position on another touch panel exists in a predetermined area defined on the basis of the release position, the input device 1, using a coordinate output device 12, determines the contact position on the another touch panel to be the input position, and outputs the same as a contact position associated with the input operation corresponding to the release position, to a control device 3. |

1. An input device comprising:
a contact detection unit including a plurality of touch panels arranged so as to adjacent to one another, the contact detection unit detecting, as to each of the touch panels, an input operation on the touch panel, and outputting contact information that contains a contact position corresponding to the input operation on the touch panel, and release detection information that indicates whether or not the contact position is a release position at which the contact with the touch panel stopped; a determination unit that determines an input position with respect to an entire surface of the plurality of touch panels, based on the contact position in the contact information output by the contact detection unit; and an output unit that outputs the contact position determined to be the input position, as a contact position associated with the input operation corresponding to the said contact position, the input operation being detected by the contact detection unit, wherein, in a case where the release detection information contained in the contact information for one of the touch panels indicates that the contact position is a release position, when a contact position on another touch panel exists in a predetermined area defined on the basis of the release position, the determination unit determines the contact position on the another touch panel to be the input position, and the output unit outputs the contact position on the another touch panel, which is determined to be the input position, as a contact position associated with the input operation corresponding to the release position on the one of the touch panels, the input operation being detected by the contact detection unit. |
