Abstract
An information input device includes a touch panel and a processor. The processor receives a touch input to the touch panel with each of multiple media. The processor detects which of multiple thresholds is exceeded by a capacitance change of the touch panel in response to a touch input to the touch panel. The processor determines thresholds of capacitance change for respective media based on a detected result. The respective media are the multiple media. The thresholds of capacitance change are each used in judgement on whether or not a touch input to the touch panel with the each of the multiple media is made.
