Abstract:

To provide a noncontact type input device requiring no manual operation, and allowing input determination including directivity.

A plurality of microphones are arranged as sensors, and an input direction is specified based on respective detection values. A breath direction is specified based on a change of the sensor blown with the strongest breath, based on the detection values of the respective sensors at each time, in specifying the input direction. A direction from a right lower side to a right upper side is specified, for example, when changed from the right lower sensor to the right upper sensor. A right lower depth direction is specified, when the right lower sensor is specified as the sensor blown with the strongest breath continuously for a prescribed time. A screen displayed in the background (the layer next to the uppermost layer) comes to the front by specifying the input direction including the depth direction, when two screens partially overlapped are displayed on a display screen.
