Abstract
There is provision of an input device for calculating loads applied to multiple pressed points respectively, by executing one or more calculation loops in a load calculation unit. The calculation loop includes calculating computation values representing loads detected at load sensors based on initial pressed point loads, calculating a comparison value based on a comparison of the computation value with a detection value detected by the load sensor, calculating an adjustment value for adjusting the initial pressed point load based on the comparison values and pressed positions, and calculating the pressed point loads by adjusting the initial pressed point load based on the adjustment value. The load calculation unit uses the pressed point load calculated in the calculation loop for each of the pressed positions as an initial pressed point load in the next calculation loop.
