1. A device comprising:
- a display apparatus configured to display a graphical user interface;
an input apparatus superposed on the display apparatus, the input apparatus including a plurality of first electrodes arranged along a first direction and a plurality of second electrodes arranged along a second direction different than the first direction;
a transmitter connected to the first electrodes and configured to supply first signals to some of the first electrodes sequentially in a scanning manner; and
a receiver connected to the second electrodes and configured to receive a second signal from at least one of the second electrodes,wherein the second signal is configured to be altered according to a distance between an object and an intersection of a scanned first electrode and the second electrodes, andwherein the first electrode is arranged to overlap a plurality of the second electrodes.

Abstract
A user input apparatus is provided with user input means for the user to input data or a command by using the user'"'"'s human body, and use-form detection means for detecting a form in which the user uses the user input means by the user'"'"'s human body. A computer connected to the user input apparatus changes the operation of the application being executed by application execution means, according to a detection result obtained by the use-form detection means. Therefore, input operations can be performed without inconvenience even if the user cannot use one hand due to another work.
