Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an input apparatus and input key capable of reducing the number of operations on the input key for input of symbols and permitting a user to designate a symbol to be inputted, by a simpler operation. An input key 10a to which a plurality of symbols or marks are assigned, has a key top 30a to be pushed, a sensor part 32 for detecting a push position on a surface of the key top 30 by a finger or the like used to push the key top 30a, a moving direction detector 34 for detecting a change of the push position of the finger or the like detected by the sensor part 32 and for detecting a moving direction of the finger or the like during movement thereof on the surface of the key top 30, and a switch 40a to change a state with a push on the key top 30, and has a converter 50 for converting a state of the switch 40a and the moving direction detected by the moving direction detector 34, into symbol information.

Abstract: The present invention provides a character input device that can display character input information on a display screen with a small area and allows a user to input a desired character by a simple operation even in a case where it is necessary to select the desired character from plural characters to input the desired characters.
In a character selection area shown in FIG. 6A , at the upper side of a cross of a cross-shaped figure, a circle is added to a character of "NA" and characters of "NA" series are selected. A ∇ mark is added to a lower part of the circle added to the character of "NA" and a Δ mark is added to an upper part of the circle. By pressing any one of an upward direction and a downward direction of a cross key, the characters can be selected. If the upward direction of the cross key is pressed, the character of "NI" is selected. In this case, the character of "NI" is displayed, instead of the character of "NA" as shown in FIG 6B .

Abstract: A cellular phone improved in the operability of character input buttons such as a dial button. Each of the character input buttons functioning as dial buttons has two different alphabetical characters allocated to one and the other ends (pressed positions). When the one end of a character input button is depressed once, the alphabetical character (e.g. "A") allocated to the end is inputted. When the other end is depressed once, the character (e.g. B) allocated to the end is inputted. The character input buttons are so disposed as to incline longitudinally.
