Abstract

To reduce touch panel malfunctions. [Solution] The contact operation detection means transmits first information to the control means when it detects a contact operation, transmits second information to the control means when it detects the release of the contact operation, transmits third information when it has not transmitted any of the information including the first and second information, and the control means stores the contact information in a predetermined area in response to receiving the first information, updates the predetermined area to a non-contact state in response to receiving the second information, and also updates the predetermined area to a non-contact state when it receives the third information without receiving the second information after receiving the first information.

Claims

1. A contact operation detection means for detecting a contact operation, It includes control means that can execute a plurality of controls, including control in response to detection by a contact operation detection means, The contact operation detection means transmits first information to the control means when it detects a contact operation, transmits second information to the control means when it detects the release of the contact operation, and transmits third information when it has not transmitted any of the multiple pieces of information including the first and second information. The control means stores contact information in a predetermined area in response to receiving the first information, updates the predetermined area to a non-contact state in response to receiving the second information, and also updates the predetermined area to a non-contact state when the third information is received after receiving the first information but without receiving the second information.

2. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein updating a predetermined area to a non-contact state means clearing the contact information of the predetermined area.

3. The gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein updating a predetermined area to a state corresponding to non-contact means storing non-contact information in the predetermined area.
