Input device
First Claim
1. An input device comprising:
- first position detection unit having a detection section that detects an absolute position of a predetermined operation tool in a predetermined region;
second position detection unit having a detection section that detects contact or approach of the operation tool; and
input control unit that controls an input operation on the basis of an input signal obtained from the first position detection unit or the second position detection unit, or a complex input signal combining an input signal obtained from the first position detection unit and an input signal obtained from the second position detection unit, wherein the detection section of the second position detection unit is provided to at least partially enclose an outer circumference of the detection section of the first position detection unit.

Abstract
An input device is provided. The input device includes a first position detection unit having a detection section which detects the absolute position of a predetermined operation tool in a predetermined region. A second position detection unit has a detection section, which detects contact or approach of the operation tool. An input control unit that controls an input operation on the basis of an input signal obtained from the first position detection unit or the second position detection unit, or a complex input signal combining an input signal obtained from the first position detection unit and an input signal obtained from the second position detection unit. The detection section of the second position detection unit is provided to partially or entirely enclose the outer circumference of the detection section of the first position detection unit.
