Input device, input control method, program and electronic apparatus

An input device comprising:

• selecting section for selecting a pair from among a plurality of X electrodes and Y electrodes disposed as being spaced apart from each other;
• detecting section for detecting a touch operation or a hover operation from a change of an electric characteristic of the pair;
• and
• setting section for setting part of at least either of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes as hover electrodes for hover operation detection and setting at least part of other electrodes as touch electrodes for touch operation detection.

An input control method comprising:

• a selecting step of selecting a pair from among a plurality of X electrodes and Y electrodes disposed as being spaced apart from each other;
• a detecting step of detecting a touch operation or a hover operation from a change of an electric characteristic of the pair;
• and
• a setting step of setting part of at least either of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes as hover electrodes for hover operation detection and setting at least part of other electrodes as touch electrodes for touch operation detection.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program that is executable by a computer of an input device to perform functions comprising:

• a selecting section for selecting a pair from among a plurality of X electrodes and Y electrodes disposed as being spaced apart from each other;
• a detecting section for detecting a touch operation or a hover operation from a change of an electric characteristic of the pair;
• and
• a setting section for setting part of at least either of the X electrodes and the Y electrodes as hover electrodes for hover operation detection and setting at least part of other electrodes as touch electrodes for touch operation detection.
