Position information correction device, position information correction method, and program

A position information correction method comprising:

• acquiring position information of one or more input points specified by an operating object;
• detecting a movement direction of the operating object based on displacement of the acquired position information for each of the one or more input points;
• determining the movement direction of the operating object at a current input point of the one or more input points by taking a majority vote of movement directions of the operating object at past input points of the one or more input points;
• and
• correcting the position information of the current input point when the detected movement direction of the operating object is different from the determined movement direction of the operating object.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with computer-readable instructions thereon that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• acquiring position information of one or more input points specified by an operating object;
• detecting a movement direction of the operating object based on displacement of the position information acquired for each of the one or more input points;
• determining the movement direction of the operating object at a current input point of the one or more input points by taking a majority vote of movement directions of the operating object at past input points of the one or more input points;
• and
• correcting the position information of the current input point when the detected movement direction of the operating object is different from the determined movement direction of the operating object.
