A touch sensor becomes an operation enable state in which an operation
state can be detected, when predetermined voltage is applied. A touch
sensor control unit switches the touch sensor to an operation detection
enable state by raising the voltage to a predetermined voltage level
gradually and performing predetermined calibration when detecting an
activation permission request of the touch sensor in a no-voltage applied
state of the touch sensor, and switches the touch sensor to an operation
detection disable state in which an operation state of the touch sensor
cannot be detected by lowering voltage gradually to the no-voltage
applied state. And, when detecting the activation permission request of
the touch sensor during switching to the operation detection disable
state, the touch sensor control unit switches the touch sensor to the
operation detection enable state, after the switching operation to the
operation detection disable state is completed.
