Abstract
An information input/output device allowed to detect both of a finger and a palm as a proximity object is provided. An information input device includes: an input panel obtaining a detection signal from a proximity object; and an object information detection section comparing the detection signal from the input panel with a first threshold value and a second threshold value, thereby detecting information of the proximity object, the first threshold value being provided for detecting the proximity object in proximity to a surface of the input panel, and the second threshold value being lower than the first threshold value.
