Abstract

To provide a technology for making a correct input operation to a capacitive sensor sheet.SOLUTION: A sensor sheet 300 includes a first detection unit 302b1 in which first electrodes 302c1 to 302c12 are placed. The first detection unit 302b1 detects changes of capacitance generated in the first electrodes 302c1 to 302c12 as an input operation. A processor 201 specifies an operation object electrode group comprising a combination of the plurality of first electrodes 302c1 to 302c12 generating the capacitance at a first detection time point, acquires a coordinate at a first detection unit 302b1 of each electrode contained in the operation object electrode group, and generates one calculated coordinate on the basis of the plurality of coordinates.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
