Abstract: An input device includes a housing, an operation unit, an attaching portion, a photovoltaic unit, and a signal processor. The operation unit is movable relative to the housing. The attaching portion is used for attaching the housing. The photovoltaic unit is held by the housing, and generates electric power with use of light incident from a side where the attaching portion is disposed in the housing. The signal processor operates by receiving the electric power generated by the photovoltaic unit, and transmits detection information generated in response to movement of the operation unit via wireless communication.

Abstract: A power generation device of the present disclosure has a start-up unit that has an attraction body and moves from a start point toward an end point, and a power generation unit that generates electricity by being vibrated and has a cantilever shape. Then, the attraction body attracts the power generation unit when the start-up unit moves from the start point toward the end point, the power generation unit deflects and inclines due to movement of the attraction body of the start-up unit and the power generation unit toward the end point while the power generation unit is attracted to the attraction body, the power generation unit starts to vibrate by separation of the attraction body from the power generation unit, and the attraction body inclines in a direction along an inclination of the power generation unit.
