An operation state detecting apparatus includes the following. An electronic device includes an operation surface and can detect whether there is contact in a plurality of positions. A sheet material can be attached to and detached from the operation surface. The sheet material includes a projecting portion which deforms to change a contact state on the operation surface according to strength of external force. A processor of the electronic device detects whether there is contact in a plurality of positions in an individual detecting region on the operation surface on which a contact state changes by the projecting portion deforming in a state with the sheet material attached to the operation surface. The processor performs a specific process according to strength or speed of an operation applied to the projecting portion judged based on a detected result of whether contact is detected in the plurality of positions.
An operation state detecting apparatus comprising:
An operation state detecting sheet which is a sheet material which can be attached to and detached from an operation surface of an electronic device which includes the operation surface, which detects whether there is contact in a plurality of positions in an individual detecting region provided on the operation surface and which is able to judge strength or speed of operation applied to a portion corresponding to the individual detecting region of the operation surface based on a detecting result of the contact detected in the plurality of positions, the sheet comprising:
