Protective cover of sensor surface that enables pointing operation

摘要

A pointing device that does not limit an operator by personal physical characteristics is structured as follows. An apparatus incorporating a pointing device includes a fingerprint sensor obtaining image information, a cover protecting a sensor surface, and a sensor presser arranged at a face of the cover on the sensor side so as to be in contact with the sensor surface. The shape of sensor presser obtained with sensor changes by the position on cover being pressed by a finger, and an input is performed based thereon.
