<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an input error in an input device for electronic equipment having a flat input operation face. <P>SOLUTION: The input device is provided with: an operation part having a flat input operation face and a capacitive panel for detecting an input operation position; a load sensor for detecting a load to be applied to the operation part; and an input control part for inputting the coordinate information of the input operation position from the capacitive panel and load information from the load sensor. The input control part authenticates the input operation at least partially on the basis of whether or not a time variation pattern of the load information satisfies a predetermined reference, and outputs output information to a personal computer only when the input operation is authenticated. The predetermined reference includes the fact that there is a point of time when a load value exceeds a first threshold A in the time variation pattern of the load information, and the fact that a time (keying time W) from when the load value exceeds the first threshold A until when the load value falls below a second threshold B is equal to or less than a predetermined reference time (actual keying time). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
