To autonomously detect a relatively positional relationship between one own terminal device and another terminal devices.SOLUTION: A terminal device 20 includes a detection unit 24 for detecting a touch position based on a touch operation on a touch surface and generating sensor information indicative of an outer edge area as touched and a touch timing of the outer edge area when at least one of a plurality of outer edge areas set along an outer edge of the touch surface is touched in the touch surface by a slide operation for sliding a touch position, a common unit 25 for transmitting the sensor information generated by the detection unit 24 to another terminal device 20 by direct communication with the another terminal device 20 and receiving the sensor information from the another terminal device 20, and a determination unit 26 for determining a relatively positional relationship between the one own device and the another terminal device 20 based on the sensor information that the common unit 25 transmits to and receives from the another terminal device 20.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13 【課題】自律的に自装置と他の端末装置との相対的な位置関係を検出する。【解決手段】端末装置２０は、タッチ面に対するタッチ操作によるタッチ位置を検出し、タッチ位置をスライドさせるスライド操作により、タッチ面内において、タッチ面の外縁に沿って設定された複数の外縁領域の少なくとも１つがタッチされた場合、タッチされた外縁領域およびその外縁領域がタッチされたタイミングを示すセンサ情報を生成する検出部２４と、他の端末装置２０との直接通信により、検出部２４により生成されたセンサ情報を他の端末装置２０に送信するとともに、他の端末装置２０からセンサ情報を受信する共有部２５と、共有部２５が他の端末装置２０との間で送受信したセンサ情報に基づき、自装置と他の端末装置２０との相対的な位置関係を決定する決定部２６と、を備える。【選択図】図１３
