Claim Text:
1. An input device comprising: a touch panel configured to be displaceable in vertical direction and to be urged upwardly toward an original position in a non-depressed state, comprising: a touch position detector which detects a touch position when a surface of the touch panel is touched with a finger; a depression start detector that detects a start of a depression manipulation of the touch panel while the touch panel is depressed and displaced downward to a first vertical displacement position; a determination manipulation detector that detects a determination manipulation when the touch panel is displaced to a second vertical displacement position which is lower than the first vertical displacement position where the depression start detector detects the start of the depression manipulation of the touch panel; and a decision unit that; when the depression start detector detects that the touch panel arrives at the first vertical displacement position, stores the touch position detected by the touch position detector, and thereafter when the determination manipulation detector detects that the touch panel arrives at the second vertical displacement position, decides that the determination manipulation has been conducted at the touch position, which is stored when the depression start detector detects that the touch panel arrives at the first vertical displacement position, wherein
