Abstract
Disclosed herein is a sensor controller that controls a sensor device that gives input information to a computer. The sensor controller includes a non-volatile memory that stores application software for accepting and processing touch input, an activation program that checks an activation state of the application software at a time of activation, a recovery program that executes recovery processing of the application software, and information indicating the activation state. The sensor controller further includes a processor that activates the activation program at the time of activation and executes the recovery program when the activation state indicates that activation of the application software is a second or subsequent activation and indicates that touch input has not been processed normally by the application software at a time of past activation.
