Abstract
An input device includes a flat first input unit for a first input operation, a second input unit for a second input operation, a display unit having a display portion displaying data, and a control unit controlling each unit. The control unit gives an operator feedback by provisionally displaying input data obtained from the first input operation, and then confirms the input by the second input operation.

2. An input device comprising:
-
a flat first input unit including a capacitance sensor or a pressure sensor and capable of coordinate input;
at least one second input unit disposed behind the first input unit and switchable by pressing force when the first input unit is pressed; and
a control unit controlling each unit in the input device, the input device further comprising a display unit having a display portion displaying data, the display unit being integrated with or separated from the control unit, wherein the control unit allows the display unit to provisionally display input data obtained from a touch operation of the first input unit, and confirms the input data by an operation of the second input unit. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)
