<p>Through operation of a software keyboard displayed on the screen, and without creating physical protrusions or depressions, this input device enables easy and reliable key operations even without visual confirmation of the keyboard. A display unit (12) of a touch panel (16) displays a software keyboard having a prescribed array of keys. An input unit (13) is attached to the display unit (12), and is capable of user input operations. Based on the user's touch position on the touch panel (16), a control unit (11) determines if said touch position is in a specific position pre-set as the home position of the software keyboard. When the touch position is in the specific position, a notification unit (15) notifies the user by a prescribed notification. By this means, the user can determine when he or she touches the home position while performing touch operations even without visual confirmation of the software keyboard.</p> |
