1. A touch panel system comprising,a touch panel;

  • anda touch panel controller for processing a signal supplied from the touch panel,the touch panel including a sensor section, the sensor section being provided with a plurality of sense lines and detecting a touch operation performed with respect to the touch panel,the touch panel controller including a subtracting section for (i) receiving signals from the sensor section and (ii) finding differences in signal between, among the sense lines, respective pairs of sense lines adjacent to each other,the touch panel system further comprising;

    drive lines provided so as to intersect the sense lines;

    a drive line driving circuit for driving the drive lines in parallel; and

    capacitances being formed between the sense lines and the drive lines,the subtracting section receiving output signals from the sense lines, and finding differences between the capacitances on each of the drive lines in a direction in which the each of the drive lines extends, the differences being found as the differences in signal between the respective pairs of the sense lines adjacent to each other,the touch panel system further comprising;

    a decoding section for decoding the values of the differences between the capacitances, which differences are found by the subtracting section, the decoding being carried out in such a manner that an inner product of each of code sequences for driving the drive lines in parallel and each of difference output sequences of the sense lines, which difference output sequences correspond to the code sequences, is calculated, andthe subtracting section finding a first difference which is expressed by (Sn−

    1)−

    Sn and a second difference which is expressed by (Sn+1)−

    Sn,the first difference corresponding to a difference between (i) a signal of a sense line Sn which is selected from the plurality of sense lines and (ii) a signal of a sense line Sn−

    1, which is one of two sense lines adjacent to the sense line Sn, the two sense lines being the sense line Sn−

    1 and a sense line Sn+1 each of which is included in the plurality of sense lines,the second difference corresponding to a difference between (i) the signal of the sense line Sn and (ii) a signal of the sense line Sn+1, which is the other one of the two sense lines.
