Claim Text:
1. An input device comprising: a plurality of electrodes that are arranged on a surface of a body in a direction crossing a muscular fiber group of the body at a right angle, and are configured to detect electromyogram signals generated from the muscular fiber group according to a motion performed by the body; a switch unit configured to switch an electrode acquiring an electromyogram signal between the plurality of electrodes based on a first parameter and a second parameter; and a control unit configured to perform setting of the first parameter and the second parameter, wherein the first parameter is used to select an electrode detecting an electromyogram signal for identifying the motion from among the plurality of electrodes and the second parameter represents an elapsed process time, wherein the control unit is configured to select the at least one electrode detecting the electromyogram signal for identifying the motion based on respective electromyogram signals acquired by the plurality of electrodes, and wherein the control unit selects the electrode having detected the electromyogram signal having signal-to-noise ratio of a predetermined threshold value or more from among the plurality of electrodes so that an overlap with electrodes used in identifying other motions becomes small.
