An analog touch panel device capable of utilizing a two-point touch on a touch panel as meaningful information input and a user interface device employing the analog touch panel device are provided. A decision is made as to whether two points are touched or not on a touch panel TP having resistive films which have electrode terminals at opposite end portions each and are superimposed top and bottom in such a manner that the electrode terminals become orthogonal, in which the top and bottom resistive films are brought into contact with each other by a push of a resistive film surface by touch input. The decision is made according to resistance values between the opposite terminals, and when a decision is made that the two points are touched, the distance between the two points touched is detected according to the resistance values between the opposite terminals.
