1. A terminal apparatus comprising:
- a touch panel;
a proximity detection unit configured to detect an approach and contact of an external object to the touch panel based on a changed in capacitance value and to detect a location on a surface of the touch panel where the capacitance value changed; and
an operation control unit configured to control the proximity detection unit to stop the detection of a location contacted by the external object on the touch panel surface when the approach of the external object is detected by the proximity detection unit.

Abstract
A terminal apparatus that includes a touch panel; a proximity detection unit configured to detect an approach and contact of an external object to the touch panel based on a changed in capacitance value and to detect a location on a surface of the touch panel where the capacitance value changed; and an operation control unit configured to control the proximity detection unit to stop the detection of a location contacted by the external object on the touch panel surface when the approach of the external object is detected by the proximity detection unit.

13. A method, implemented on a terminal apparatus having a touch panel, comprising:
-
detecting an approach and contact of an external object to the touch panel based on a changed in capacitance value; detecting a location on a surface of the touch panel where the capacitance value changed; and stopping the detection of a location contacted by the external object on the touch panel surface when the approach of the external object is detected.

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoded with computer executable instructions, which when executed by a terminal apparatus having a touch panel, cause the terminal apparatus to perform a method comprising:
detecting an approach and contact of an external object to the touch panel based on a changed in capacitance value; detecting a location on a surface of the touch panel where the capacitance value changed; and stopping the detection of a location contacted by the external object on the touch panel surface when the approach of the external object is detected.
