<p>Disclosed is a mobile terminal which makes it possible to prevent erroneous, unintended input to a touch panel; also disclosed is a control method thereof. The disclosed mobile terminal (1) is provided with a touch panel (30), a contact area detection unit (302), and an input determination unit (102). When an object contacts the touch panel (30), the contact area detection unit (302) detects the contact area on the touch panel (30) of the object. The input determination unit (102) determines whether or not the input originating from the contact to the touch panel (30) by the object is valid. If the contact area detected by the contact area detection unit (302) exceeds the area corresponding to the maximum contact area of a finger touching the touch panel (30) during finger input, the input determination unit (102) determines that the input originating from the contact by the object is invalid.</p> |
