Information input device

摘要

The present invention provides, in a gaming machine which uses a game table, an information input device which can detect positions indicated by player's hands or the like without relying on the detection of touching of the game table by players. An information input device includes a table unit which has one or a plurality of input regions which are preset, a position detecting unit which detects a position of an object on the table and outputs positional information on the object, and a positional information determining unit which determines whether the position of the object is in any one of the input regions for a given period based on the positional information on the object from the position detecting unit and treats the positional information valid when the positional information determining unit determines that the object is in the input region for the given period.
