1. An input apparatus comprising:

  • an input detector which detects an input by the blockage of a light beam to scan a scan region;

    a vibration detector which detects a vibration equal to or more than a set sensitivity applied to the input detector;

    a controller which stops the light beam scanning when the input detector detects no inputs for a given length of time, and restores the light beam scanning when the vibration detector detects a vibration; and

    a sensitivity adjustment unit which changes the sensitivity of the vibration detector to be weaker than the set sensitivity when the input detector detects no inputs and the vibration detector continuously detects vibrations after the controller has restored the light beam scanning.
