1. An input device, comprising:
- a device body having an operating unit operatively connected to a host device for carrying out operations of the host device;
a loading portion in the device body;
an opening portion in the device body;
a fingerprint detecting IC card assembled in the device body through the loading portion and operable to be exposed to the exterior of the device body through the opening portion, the fingerprint detecting portion serving to detect a fingerprint of a user when exposed; and
a shutter member movable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the shutter member is in the first position the fingerprint detecting IC card is exposed to the exterior of the device body through the opening portion, and when the shutter member is in the second position the shutter member overlays the opening portion so that the fingerprint detecting IC card is substantially shielded from the exterior of the device body.
