ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a small sized, inexpensive input unit which enables easy operation of computers, etc., even for people who have handicaps such as in the hands and/or fingers. The input unit consists of an input mode management part which manages input modes in correspondence with plural display-figures of the cursor; and when a button input detection part detects a turning ON or OFF of a button pressing signal produced by a button input unit, either changing the input modes by an input mode switching part or executing a cursor shift process according to the present input mode (ex. movement of cursor) by an input processing part is carried out depending on whether each time length of the button pressing signal is longer or shorter than the predetermined time length.
