Abstract
An input device includes an input unit on which an operator performs a predetermined operation to perform input, a storage unit that stores a reference range set on a virtual coordinate, a control unit that identifies the operation of the operator based on a trajectory of the operation performed on the input unit by the operator and the reference range, a determination unit that determines whether the trajectory of the operation of the operator exceeds the reference range, and a range setting unit that updates the reference range based on a determination result of the determination unit.
