APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INPUTTING INFORMATION
First Claim
1. An information input device that obtains information based on a touch position of an operation member on a touch panel, the device comprising:
- a pressing-force detecting unit that detects pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel;
an information acquisition unit that obtains information based on the touch position of the operation member on the touch panel when the pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel detected by the pressing-force detecting unit is equal to or greater than a determination reference value,; and
a determination-reference-value changing unit that changes the determination reference value from a first value to a second value smaller than the first value when the pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel detected by the pressing-force detecting unit becomes equal to or greater than the first value set as the determination reference value.

Abstract
An information input device that obtains information based on a touch position of an operation member on a touch panel includes a pressing-force detecting unit that detects pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel; an information acquisition unit that obtains information based on the touch position of the operation member on the touch panel when the pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel detected by the pressing-force detecting unit is equal to or greater than a determination reference value; and a determination-reference-value changing unit that changes the determination reference value from a first value to a second value smaller than the first value when the pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel detected by the pressing-force detecting unit becomes equal to or greater than the first value set as the determination reference value.

10. A method for inputting information based on a touch position of an operation member on a touch panel, the method comprising:
-
detecting a pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel; obtaining information based on the touch position of the operation member on the touch panel when the pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel is equal to or greater than a determination reference value; and changing the determination reference value from a first value to a second value smaller than the first value when the pressing force of the operation member applied to the touch panel becomes equal to or greater than the first value set as the determination reference value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. An input device that obtains input information based on a pressing force applied to a touch panel of a display, the device comprising:
-
a touch panel integral with the display; a plurality of sensors for sensing a pressing force applied to the touch panel; and
,a processor connected to the touch panel and the plurality of sensors; wherein the processor obtains information based on a position of the pressing force applied to the touch panel when the pressing force is equal to or greater than a determination reference value; and
,wherein the processor changes the determination reference value from a first value to a second value smaller than the first value when the pressing force applied to the touch panel becomes equal to or greater than the first value. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
