An information input device has a device body made of an elastically
deformable material. The device body can be held in a palm and operated
with one hand. The device body is provided in its face with a touchpad. A
pressure sensor and an acceleration sensor are independently provided in
the device body. The device body includes therein an RF module for
transmitting a sensor signal from each sensor to a personal computer. By
a control unit (CPU) in the device body, for example, a determination
signal for determining an operation on the touchpad as input data is
assigned to the pressure sensor, and a canceling signal for canceling the
determination signal is assigned to the acceleration sensor. Thus, the
user need not operate the device body on a desk or the like. The user can
easily hold and operate the device body with one hand, without
restriction of place to operate.
