An object of the present invention is to provide an input device that can achieve a hover operation and a touch operation that are differentiated and detected without inviting degradation in detection responsiveness to the touch operation. The input device includes a selecting section for selecting a pair from among a plurality of X electrodes and Y electrodes disposed as being spaced apart from each other, a detecting section for detecting a touch operation or a hover operation from a change of an electric characteristic of the pair, and a setting section for setting part of at least either of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes as hover electrodes for hover operation detection and setting at least part of the other electrodes as touch electrodes for touch operation detection.

A workflow server is provided with, in association with a user management tablefor managing work items for each user, a listof substitute users for indicating a substitute user for each work or process and a listof users in charge who designates the user as a substitute. When a client terminal user selects a specific user among the users in charge on the list, the workflow server checks the power of substitute by referring to the listof substitute users for the selected user, thereby to allow the client terminal user to process a predesignated unprocessed work item instead of the selected user in charge.
