COORDINATE DETECTION METHOD AND DEVICE THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform a double click operation using a touch type input panel by managing the second push operation that is comparatively liable to lack in discretion with the allowance value of both time difference and position shift which are previously stored. SOLUTION: A time judgement part 28 judges whether the time difference between the 1st and 2nd input operations is smaller than its allowance value. A position shift judgement part 29 judges whether the position shift between the 1st and 2nd input operations is smaller than its allowance value. These judgement results are outputted to an output control part 30. If both time difference and position shift are smaller than each allowance value, the part 30 outputs the 1st input coordinate value stored in a coordinate storage part 31 to the outside and operates a specific program. Then, the part 30 performs two output operations to an external device, and these output operations are equal to the 1st input coordinate value. In many cases, the 1st push coordinate is correct against the 2nd push coordinate. Thereby, the 2nd input value is replaced with the 1st push coordinate and outputted to the external device via the part 30.
