Abstract
An input device includes a position acquisition device, a force sensor, and a processing unit. The position acquisition device is configured to obtain position information of at least one touch point. The force sensor is configured to obtain input mechanical information of a pressing force that is applied to the at least one touch point. The processing unit is configured to determine input information based at least on the position information of the least one touch point and the mechanical information of the pressing force. The position acquisition device and the force sensor are stacked on a cover of an electronic device.
