Abstract
Provided is a mobile information device which can prevent erroneous inputs in situations where conventional mobile information devices cannot prevent erroneous inputs. Two proximity sensorsare provided on a front surfaceof a mobile information device. The two proximity sensorsare separated from one another by a distance equivalent to at least one key, and are each adjacent to at least one of the keys. The mobile information deviceblocks execution of processing in response to key operations when both of the proximity sensorsdetect a state of proximity of a sensing target, such as a human body. As a result, erroneous inputs on the keyscaused by contact with hands or face can be prevented.
