  • a panel to be touched by a user;

    a vibrating section for vibrating the panel; and

    a vibration control section for controlling the vibration of the vibrating section,wherein the vibration control section changes the vibration of the vibrating section when, after the user touches the panel with multiple fingers, the user changes an interval between fingers and lifts at least one of the multiple fingers off the panel with at least one other of the multiple fingers remaining on the panel;

    wherein the vibration control section changes the vibration based on an amount of change in the interval between fingers; and

    wherein a strength of the vibration generated in the vibrating section by the vibration control section when the user lifts at least one of the multiple fingers off the panel is greater when the amount of change in the interval between fingers is larger than when the amount of change in the interval between fingers is smaller.
