Abstract

The present application provides a finger tapping measurement processing terminal, system, method and computer program, without wearing special dedicated instruments, and without using expensive special devices for evaluating and analyzing measurement information, using widely popular terminals such as smart phones, tablet computers, etc. in a simple way, cheap and good usability for finger tapping movement measurement and processing. The finger tapping measurement processing terminal (100) measures finger tapping movement and processes the measurement results, comprising: a touch panel (103) arranged on one side of the terminal, capable of displaying information related to finger tapping movement and being tapped by one finger of two fingers of the same hand of the user holding the terminal; a finger detection unit (101, 102) detecting the movement of the finger tapping the touch panel (103); and a processing unit performing the following processing: based on the detection information obtained by the finger detection unit, measuring the distance between the two fingers when the finger tapping movement between the other finger of the two fingers and the finger tapping the touch panel, wherein the other finger holds the terminal on the other side opposite to the touch panel.
