INPUT UNIT, METHOD FOR CONTROLING FOR THE SAME, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE PROVIDED WITH INPUT UNIT
First Claim
1. An input device comprising:
- display means that displays information;
an input panel that is arranged at a display surface side of the display means, and has an input surface and outputs a contact information by detecting a contact at the input surface;
detection means that outputs a detection signal which shows that a pressing force is applied when the pressing force is applied on the input surface of the input panel; and
control means that detects a contact position of the input panel based on the contact information which the input panel outputted, sets display information at a position corresponding to the contact position of the display means as a selecting status, and executes a process in relation to the display information based on the detection signal when the detection means outputs the detection signal under a state that the input panel continues detecting the contact.

Abstract
An input device comprises display means that displays information, an input panel that is arranged at a display surface side of the display means, and has an input surface and outputs a contact information by detecting a contact at the input surface, detection means that outputs a detection signal which shows that a pressing force is applied when the pressing force is applied on the input surface of the input panel, and control means that detects a contact position of the input panel based on the contact information which the input panel outputted, sets display information at a position corresponding to the contact position of the display means as a selecting status, and executes a process in relation to the display information based on the detection signal when the detection means outputs the detection signal under a state that the input panel continues detecting the contact.

11. A control method of an input device that has a display means which displays information and has an input panel which is arranged in a display surface side of the display means, comprising:
-
setting display information at a position of the display means corresponding to a contacted position of the input surface as a selecting status when the input panel detects a contact at the input surface of the input panel, and executing processes in relation to the display information based on a detect situation when detecting that a pressing force is applied on the input surface of the input panel under a status that the input panel keeps detecting the contact. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
