Abstract
An input assistance device has a rotation support body having a central axis, an attachment mechanism that removably attaches the rotation support body to the panel surface of a sensor panel so that the central axis is along a direction perpendicular to the panel surface, and a rotational part supported by the rotation support body so as to be rotatable around the central axis. At least the side surface of the rotational part is formed from a conductive material. Conductive areas electrically connected to the side surface are allocated in part of a surface of the rotational part, the surface facing the panel surface.
