If the second intensity value TS is smaller than the first value D1, the intensity determiner 320 maintains the current first intensity value NTS (S17). Therefore, the strength determiner 320 may be configured to change the first intensity value NTS only after the second intensity value TS becomes greater than the first value D1.
- the intensity determiner 320 determines whether the difference between the delay value CD output from the filter unit 310 and the first intensity value NTS is smaller than the predetermined second value D2 (Ste S16). If the difference between the delay value CD and the first intensity value NTS is smaller than the second value D2, the intensity determiner 320 maintains the current first intensity value NTS (step S17). . That is, when the difference between the delay value CD and the first intensity value NTS is smaller than the constant second value D2, it means that the influence due to the environment is small.

That is, the intensity determiner 320 adds the third value D3 to the current first intensity value NTS if the delay value CD is greater than or equal to the second intensity value D2 than the first intensity value NTS. Stores one value as a new first intensity value NTS, and if the delay value D2 is smaller than the first intensity value NTS by a second value D2 or more, it is added to the current first intensity value NTS.

It may be configured to change the first intensity value NTS if the delay value CD has not changed for a predetermined time.
- the order of each step may be changed.
- the intensity determiner 320 when the first intensity value NTS is changed, the intensity determiner 320 adds or subtracts a predetermined third value D3 to the current first intensity value NTS to add a new first value.

- the intensity determining unit 320 changes the first intensity value NTS to the delay value CD at the time t1. do. Thereafter, since the delay value CD is not maintained for the first period T1 before the time t2 is reached, the strength determiner 320 does not change the first intensity value NTS. Judging from the time point t2, since the delay value CD did not change during the first time T1, the strength determiner 320 again changes the first intensity value NTS to the delay value CD at the time t2.

If it is not in the touched state, since it is not necessary to change the second intensity value TS indicating the intensity of the touched state, the intensity determiner 320 maintains the current second intensity value TS (step S26). .
- the intensity determiner 320 determines whether the delay value CD output from the filter 310 has a change for a predetermined second time (eg, 7 ms) (step S24). If there is a change in the delay value CD for the second time, the intensity determiner 320 maintains the current second intensity value TS (step S26). Accordingly, the intensity determiner 320 prevents the second intensity value TS from being changed by the change in the delay value CD due to ambient noise, while also changing the environment (for example, changing the temperature) or the cover. The second intensity value TS may be changed when the delay value CD of the touched state is changed due to a change in the thickness of. The second time may be set shorter than the first time of step S14 of FIG. 6.
- the second intensity value TS is changed in the touched state, but since the noise caused by the contact object is generated in the touched state, the second intensity value TS is changed in the non-touched state. This is because the time required to hold the specific delay value CD needs to be shorter than the case of the decision.
- the intensity determiner 320 determines whether the second intensity value TS is smaller than the value obtained by adding the predetermined fifth value D5 to the first intensity value NTS (step S25). That is, the strength determiner 320 determines whether the difference between the second intensity value TS and the first intensity value NTS is greater than or equal to the predetermined fifth value D5. If the second intensity value TS is smaller than a value obtained by adding the fifth value D5 to the first intensity value NTS, the strength determiner 320 may determine the second intensity value TS as the first intensity value. It changes to the value which added the 5th value D5 to (NTS) (step S28). Accordingly, the strength determiner 320 may have the first intensity value NTS and the second intensity such that a difference between the first intensity value NTS and the second intensity value TS is at least a predetermined fifth value D5. The value TS can be determined.
- the intensity determiner 320 may determine the current delay value CD as the second intensity value. Save as TS (step S27).
- steps S25 and S28 may be omitted in FIG. 8. That is, the strength determiner 320 determines only the state of no touch (step S23) and whether there is a change in the delay value CD (step S24) to maintain the current second intensity value TS, It may be configured to change the second intensity value TS to the current delay value CD.

- the delay value CD outputted from) and the solid line represent the second intensity value TS, respectively.
- the intensity determining unit 320 sets the second intensity value TS at the time t1. Change to Thereafter, since the delay value CD does not change during the second period T2 until the time t2 is reached, the intensity determiner 320 does not change the second intensity value TS. Judging from the time t2, since the delay value CD did not change during the second time T2, the intensity determiner 320 again converts the second intensity value TS to the delay value CD at the time t2. Change it. After the time t2 elapsed, the delay value CD rapidly decreased. That is, since this means that the state is not touched, the intensity determiner 320 does not change the second intensity value TS after the time t2.
- the first intensity value NTS and the second intensity value TS become 0, in which case the first intensity value NTS is equal to the present value. It is initialized to the delay value CD (step S12 in FIG. 6), and the second intensity value TS is initialized to a value obtained by adding a predetermined fourth value D4 to the first intensity value NTS (FIG. 8).
