1. An input device having an input unit for receiving light corresponding to an external input, and allowing input to a plurality of points on an input surface of said input unit, said input device comprising:
- target creating means for generating information on a target indicating a series of external inputs on a basis of temporal or spatial positional relation of input parts to which the inputs have been performed;
performing means for performing predetermined processing on a basis of the information on said target; and
height information generating means for generating height information indicating height of said target from said input surface on a basis of an amount of light received in said input unit;
wherein said target creating means generates the information on said target to which information said height information is added, andsaid performing means performs predetermined processing on a basis of said height information added to the information on said target.
