Input device, input method and electronic equipment
First Claim
1. An input device comprising:
- an input operation member;
pressure intensity detection means for detecting a pressure intensity on the input operation member by a user at an input operation time; and
reference pressure value calculation means for calculating a reference pressure value based on detection results of the pressure intensity obtained by the pressure intensity detection means.

Abstract
A detection section that detects a key-tapping speed and key-tapping intensity is provided to detect a user'"'"'s impatience level. An input device detects the key-tapping intensity and key-tapping speed. The input device compares the detection value of the key-tapping speed and an average key-tapping speed. When the detection value exceeds a stored normal key-tapping speed, the input device then compares the detection value of the key-tapping intensity and a reference pressure value. When the detection value exceeds a stored normal key-tapping intensity, information to be output for a user is changed over. In this case, displayed characters are enlarged and emphasized to a maximum extent. On the other hand, in the case where a detection value does not exceed the normal key-tapping speed and the detection value exceeds the normal key-tapping intensity, displayed characters are only slightly enlarged.
