INFORMATION INPUT DEVICE, INFORMATION INPUT METHOD, AND INFORMATION INPUT PROGRAM

摘要

For a mobile apparatus in which mobility and a display count much, it is possible to provide an input device and an input method which can easily be operated by a user even if an input unit in the apparatus is small. The input device includes: an input unit (4) formed by first vibration detection units (2a to 2d) which detect vibration transferred via a body of a user holding the input device (9) when a part of the user's body is brought into contact, and a second vibration detection unit (3); and an input information identification means (5) which calculates a detection time difference between the moment when the vibration is detected by the first vibration detection units (2a to 2d) and the moment when the vibration is detected by the second vibration detection unit (3) and outputs a code signal corresponding to the time difference.
