1. An input device, comprising:
- a touch panel comprising a display configured to display plural objects, the touch panel configured to determine a position of a pressing input thereto;
a load detector configured to detect a pressing load with respect to pressing input to the touch panel;
a controller communicatively coupled to the touch panel and the load detector, and configured to;
control the display to display a first screen including a first object;
control the display to display a second screen associated with the first object in response to detecting a load satisfying a first predefined load standard with respect to pressing input on the touch panel at the position of the displayed first object; and
while displaying the second screen and maintaining a pressing load with respect to pressing input to the touch panel greater than a load satisfying a second predefined load standard with respect to pressing input on the touch panel, control the display to display a third screen in response to detecting a load satisfying the first predefined load standard with respect to pressing input on the touch panel.

Abstract
An input device is disclosed. An input device comprises a display unit, an input unit, a load detection unit and a control unit. The display unit is configured to display an object of a folder with a hierarchical structure. The load detection unit is configured to detect a pressing load with respect to the input unit corresponding to the location of the object of the folder that is displayed on the display unit. The control unit opens and closes folders based on a change in the pressing load.

17. An input device, comprising:
-
a touch panel comprising a display and configured to determine a position of a pressing input thereto, and display on the display plural screens in a hierarchical sequence; a load detector configured to detect a pressing load with respect to pressing input to the touch panel, wherein the hierarchical sequence is determined based on detecting a load satisfying a first predefined load standard with respect to pressing input on the touch panel at the position of an object displayed on a first of the plural screens in the hierarchical sequence; a controller communicatively coupled to the touch panel and the load detector and configured to; control the display of the plural screens in the hierarchical sequence; and for each screen in the plural screens in the hierarchical sequence other than the first screen, control the display to display a screen previous in the hierarchical sequence in response to detecting a load satisfying a second predefined load standard with respect to pressing input on the touch panel, said second predefined load standard being different from the first predefined load standard. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An input device comprising:
-
a touch panel comprising a display configured to display plural objects, the touch panel configured to determine a position of a pressing input thereto; a load detector configured to detect a pressing load with respect to pressing input to the touch panel; and a controller communicatively coupled to the touch panel and the load detector, and configured to; control the display to display a first screen including a first object while the pressing load detected by the load detector is in a range between a first predefined load standard and a second predefined load standard, the first predefined load standard being larger than zero, and the second predefined load standard being larger than the first predefined load standard; and control the display to display a second screen associated with the first object in place of the first screen when the pressing load detected by the load detector exceeds the second predefined load standard.
