1. An input device, comprising:
- a sensor that outputs an output value dependent on a pressing force;
a determination unit that determines that a contacted place is pressed, based on the output value output from the sensor, in a case where a first output value is detected and subsequently a third output value that is less than the first output value and greater than a second output value that is less than the first output value is detected through the second output value; and
an output unit that outputs a result determined by the determination unit.

Abstract
An input device, includes: a sensor that outputs an output value dependent on a pressing force; a determination unit that determines that a contacted place is pressed, based on the output value output from the sensor, in a case where a first output value is detected and subsequently a third output value that is less than the first output value and greater than a second output value that is less than the first output value is detected through the second output value; and an output unit that outputs a result determined by the determination unit.

6. A terminal device, comprising:
-
a plurality of sensors that are associated with a plurality of keys, respectively, and output a plurality of output values dependent on a pressing force; a determination unit that determines that a key that corresponds to a contacted sensor is pressed, based on the output value output from the sensor, in a case where a first output value is detected and subsequently a third output value that is less than the first output value and greater than a second output value that is less than the first output value is detected through the second output value; an output unit that outputs a key code of the key determined to be pressed, by the determination unit; and an acceptance unit that accepts the key input based on the key code output from the output unit. - View Dependent Claims (7)

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an input control program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:
-
determining that a contacted place is pressed, based on an output value dependent on a pressing force that is output from a sensor that outputs the output value, in a case where a first output value is detected and subsequently a third output value that is less than the first output value and greater than a second output value that is less than the first output value is detected through the second output value; and outputting a determined result.
