Claim:
1. An input device comprising: a detection unit, a controller, and at least two sensors, wherein the detection unit corresponds to the at least two sensors, the at least two sensors are connected to the controller, and the at least two sensors correspond to at least two input types of the input device, the detection unit is configured to detect an input signal, the sensors are configured to determine the corresponding input type of the input signal after receiving the input signal detected by the detection unit, and the controller is configured to control connections and disconnections between the at least two sensors and the detection unit, wherein the controller is specifically configured to switch connections between the at least two sensors and the detection unit, and to receive an input type determined message sent by a first one of the at least two sensors after connection between the first sensor and the detection unit is established and the first sensor receives the input signal, and to retain the connection between the first sensor and the detection unit after receiving the input type determined message, wherein the controller is specifically configured to switch the connections between the at least two sensors and the detection unit according to a first preset time, wherein the controller is specifically configured to retain the connection between the first sensor and the detection unit within a second preset time after receiving the input type determined message; the controller is also configured to switch the connection between the first sensor and the detection unit to the connection between a second one of the at least two sensors and the detection unit after the second preset time elapses; and the second preset time is greater than the first preset time.
