1. An information processing device comprising:

  • a contact detecting unit which detects a position at which a finger has come into contact with an operating face of an operating unit;

    a coordinate conversion unit which converts said position detected by said contact detecting unit into coordinates, based on coordinate axes set on said operating face;

    a command input unit which inputs commands, based on coordinates obtained from said coordinate conversion unit;

    an operation recognizing unit which recognizes that an operation has been performed as to said operating face in which, with the finger kept in contact with said operating face, the contact portion is changed from the ball of the finger to the tip, or the opposite thereof; and

    a coordinate axis setting unit which, upon said operation being recognized by said operation recognizing unit, estimates the direction from the position where the ball of the finger has come into contact toward the position where the tip of the finger has come into contact as being the wrist direction of the hand operating said operating unit, and sets coordinate axes on said operating face in accordance with said direction.
