Abstract
An operation input device including: a first detection section including a first detection surface that detects a position at which a detection target is touching or within a predetermined distance, the first detection section outputting a first signal representing the position; an operation control section that controls a first operation target based on the first signal; an operation determination section that outputs a second signal only when it has determined that the detection target has moved along the first detection surface; and a switching control section that switches the operation control section between an operation enabled state in which control of the first operation target is enabled, and an operation prevented state in which control of the first operation target is prevented, the switching control section switching from the operation prevented state to the operation enabled state in a case in which the second signal has been received.
