Click position control apparatus, click position control method, and touch sensor system

A click position control method for controlling a click position on a touch sensor clicked by a user when the user operates an input device including a clickable touch sensor including a touch sensor and a click detecting unit which is disposed under the touch sensor and is pressed when the user clicks the touch sensor, said click position control method comprising:

• generating touch position information indicating a position on the touch sensor touched by the user;
• detecting a click on the click detecting unit;
• generating click position information indicating a click position by using the touch position information when the click on the click detecting unit is detected in said detecting, the click position being a position at which the click detecting unit is pressed;
• and
• correcting the click position information on the basis of a positional relationship between at least one reference position on the input device and the click position, the at least one reference position being indicated in predetermined correction information.

An integrated circuit that controls a click position on a touch sensor clicked by a user when the user operates an input device including a clickable touch sensor including a touch sensor and a click detecting unit which is disposed under the touch sensor and is pressed when the user clicks the touch sensor, said integrated circuit comprising:

• a touch position information generating unit configured to generate touch position information indicating a position on the touch sensor touched by the user;
• a click judging unit configured to detect a click on the click detecting unit;
• a click position information generating unit configured to generate click position information indicating a click position by using the touch position information when said click judging unit detects the click on the click detecting unit, the click position being a position at which the click detecting unit is pressed;
• and
• a correcting unit configured to correct the click position information on the basis of a positional relationship between at least one reference position on the input device and the click position, the at least one reference position being indicated in predetermined correction information.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a computer program recorded thereon for causing a computer to execute a click position control method for controlling a click position on a touch sensor clicked by a user when the user operates an input device including a clickable touch sensor including a touch sensor and a click detecting unit which is disposed under the touch sensor and is pressed when the user clicks the touch sensor,

• wherein the click position control method includes:
• generating touch position information indicating a position on the touch sensor touched by the user;
• detecting a click on the click detecting unit;
• generating click position information indicating a click position by using the touch position information when said click judging unit detects the click on the click detecting unit, the click position being a position at which the click detecting unit is pressed;
• and
• correcting the click position information on the basis of a positional relationship between at least one reference position on the input device and the click position, the at least one reference position being indicated in predetermined correction information.

A touch sensor system comprising:

• an input device which includes a clickable touch sensor;
• and
• a click position control apparatus which controls a click position on a touch sensor clicked by a user when the user operates said input device,
• wherein said clickable touch sensor includes:
• said touch sensor;
• and
• a click detecting unit which is disposed under said touch sensor and is pressed when the user clicks said touch sensor;
• said click position control apparatus includes:
• a touch position information generating unit configured to generate touch position information indicating a position on said touch sensor touched by the user;
• a click judging unit configured to detect a click on the click detecting unit;
• a click position information generating unit configured to generate click position information indicating a click position by using the touch position information when said click judging unit detects the click on the click detecting unit, the click position being a position at which said click detecting unit is pressed;
• and
• a correcting unit configured to correct the click position information on the basis of a positional relationship between at least one reference position on the input device and the click position, the at least one reference position being indicated in predetermined correction information.
