Abstract:
Provided is a touch panel apparatus that matches a flicked icon with an icon that a user meant, even if a flick direction of the flicked icon is ambiguous. The touch panel apparatus has a touch panel and an operation processing part. On the touch panel, a movement source icon and a plurality of movement destination icons are displayed. The movement source icon is movable to a flick direction by flick operation. The plurality of movement destination icons serve as a movement destination of the movement source icon. In each of the plurality of movement destination icons, a decision range for determining as the movement destination icon to the flick direction is provided. An operation processing part acquires the movement destination icon having the decision range to the flick direction of the movement source icon as a movement destination candidate.
