INPUTTING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An inputting apparatus, comprising:
- a display unit on which an image is displayed;
a detecting portion configured to detect an approach value which represents an approaching degree or a touching degree of an input object with respect to each of positions in the display unit and which becomes larger where the approaching degree or the touching degree is a certain degree than where the approaching degree or the touching degree is a degree smaller than the certain degree;
a button-display portion configured to display at least one button on the display unit;
a receiving portion configured to receive an input of a predetermined command assigned to one of the at least one button where an approach value detected in the one button displayed by the button-display portion exceeds a first threshold value; and
an enlarging and displaying portion configured to enlarge and display only the one button on the display unit where the approach value detected in the one button exceeds a second threshold value which is smaller than the first threshold value.
