## Abstract

An input device includes a detection unit, a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, and a compensation unit. The detection unit is configured to detect an operation by a user for controlling an electronic device and output an operation signal corresponding to the operation. The first acquisition unit is configured to acquire the detected operation signal and a differential value of the operation signal. The second acquisition unit is configured to acquire a function defined by the differential value to compensate for a delay in response of the operation signal with respect to the operation by the user. The compensation unit is configured to compensate the operation signal with the acquired function.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An input device comprising:
a detection unit configured to detect an operation by a user for controlling an electronic device and output an operation signal corresponding to the operation;
a first acquisition unit configured to acquire the detected operation signal and a differential value of the operation signal:
a second acquisition unit configured to acquire a function defined by the differential value to compensate for a delay in response of the operation signal with respect to the operation by the user; and
a compensation unit configured to compensate the operation signal with the acquired function.
