Abstract
A user input apparatus is provided with user input means for the user to input data or a command by using the user'"'"'s human body, and use-form detection means for detecting a form in which the user uses the user input means by the user'"'"'s human body. A computer connected to the user input apparatus changes the operation of the application being executed by application execution means, according to a detection result obtained by the use-form detection means. Therefore, input operations can be performed without inconvenience even if the user cannot use one hand due to another work.

6. An information processing device comprising:
-
an input apparatus that includes a layer of first electrodes and a layer of second electrodes, the first electrodes are arranged along a first direction and the second electrodes are arranged along a second direction different than the first direction; a transmitter configured to supply a first signal to a currently scanned one of the first electrodes before supplying the first signal to a next scanned one of the first electrodes, the first electrodes are electrically connected to the transmitter; and a receiver configured to receive a second signal from at least one of the second electrodes, the second electrodes are electrically connected to the receiver, wherein intersections are situated where the second electrodes cross the currently scanned one of the first electrodes, other intersections are situated where the second electrodes cross the next scanned one of the first electrodes, wherein when the transmitter supplies the first signal to the currently scanned one of the first electrodes, the second signal is alterable according to distances between an object and the intersections and between the object and the other intersections. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
