Abstract
A pen-input information processing device comprises a pen housing for housing a pen, a processing device, a suspension/resumption-instruction-unit for instructing the processing device to perform state transition, from a suspended state to a normal state and vice versa, a pen-housing-detection-unit which outputs a pen-housing-detection-signal which shows the existence or non-existence of a pen in the pen housing in detecting the housing of the pen in the pen housing, and a state-transition-control-unit which generates a state-transition-control-signal which instructs the processing device to perform the transition of a state unconditionally when the suspension/resumption-instruction-unit instructs the processing device to perform the state transition, or does not instruct the processing device to perform state transition in either case where a state is in the suspended state and also the pen-housing-detection-signal shows the housed state of the pen in the pen housing, or where the state is in the normal state and also the pen-housing-detection-signal shows the taken out state of the pen from the pen housing.
