Abstract

An input apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing apparatus are provided. The input apparatus includes a protection surface layer, and a sensing array through which an operation of a user on the protection surface layer can be determined. The information processing method can parse trigger information sent by the input apparatus for its corresponding parameter information and further switch the touchable keyboard to a first input mode or a second input mode according to the obtained parameter information. The information processing method and apparatus and the electronic device activate a keyboard to judge the demand of the user automatically in response to the trigger information entered by the user and further control switching of the input mode of the keyboard in response to the demand of the user.
