Abstract
An information input device is provided, which may perform highly-convenient processing in response to input of information with an external proximity object. The information input device includes: an input panel having a detection function of detecting an external proximity object, to be used in a state of being placed on a display panel; a position detection section detecting position and area value of the external proximity object based on a detection signal of the external proximity object obtained by the input panel; and an image generation section generating display data to be utilized to display an image including a display object, in such a manner that size of the display object displayed on the display panel at the detected position of the external proximity object is allowed to vary in accordance with the detected area value of the external proximity object.
