Abstract

An input device includes: a display unit indicating an image of an input position; a contact position detecting unit detecting a position of an object brought into contact with a contact detecting layer provided on a display layer of the display unit; a contact strength detecting unit detecting contact strength of the object brought into contact with the contact detecting layer; a feature quantity extracting unit extracting a feature quantity related to the detected contact strength; and a special process executing unit comparing the extracted feature quantity with a predetermined threshold, and executing special processes.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related applications [0002] This application is based on and claims the priority of the prior Japanese patent application 2004-285445 filed on September 29, 2004, and the entire content of the application is incorporated herein for reference. Technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an input device for feeding information to a microcomputer or the like, a microcomputer equipped with the input device, and an information processing method. Background technique [0004] Generally, the interface of a computer terminal includes a keyboard and a mouse as input devices, and includes a cathode ray tube (CRT) or a liquid crystal display (LCD) as a display unit. [0005] In addition, a so-called touch panel in which a display unit and an input device are stacked one on top of the other is also widely used as an interface for a computer terminal, a small portable tablet type calculator, and the like.
