To provide a touch panel with a fingerprint detection function, a fingerprint detection method and a fingerprint detection program for suppressing the consumption of power.

This touch pad with a fingerprint detection function is configured by installing a fingerprint detection element for detecting the fingerprint on the touch pad configured of a touch pad element for detecting the contact position of the finger. More concretely, the fingerprint detection element is installed in a predetermined range (here, central part) for the touch pad. Then, the touch pad with the fingerprint detection function relating to an embodiment 1 detects the fingerprint by supplying power to the whole fingerprint detection element installed at the central part of the touch pad.
