PURPOSE: To reduce the number of control switches, facilitate controls and reduce control errors by a method wherein a touch panel switch is provided on a display panel where the motion status during a medicine packaging is monitor-displayed moment by moment, and the touch panel switch is controlled corresponding with the display content to control a medicine-packaging device.

CONSTITUTION: When a packaging start operation is performed, a CPU 10 reads applicable data from a display data storage device 16, and the applicable data passes through interfaces 17, 18 and transmitted to a video signal processing device 19 and processed. The applicable data is further transmitted to a display controller 20, processed and displayed on a display device 3. On the surface of the display device 3, a resistance sheet touch panel 21 is affixed, and an applicable region of the resistance sheet touch panel 21 is controlled, based on the information of data 22. The data which is controlled by the resistance sheet touch panel 21 is transmitted to a resistance sheet touch panel controller 23, passes through the interfaces 18, 17, and received by the CPU 10, and the operation of the applicable control is performed.
