Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for detecting directions and locations (an input device), and is characterized in that a moving terminal and a plurality of fixed terminals are provided, the moving terminal is brought into contact with two or more fixed terminals, and the value of the two or more detected fixed terminals is processed as a piece of data. A plurality of detection means is arranged for each direction, and, when two or more directions are detected by the moving terminal, a direction in which a relatively large number of detection means are detected is processed as an input direction. Using this, an 'interference problem' can be solved, and accurate directional input can be performed. Furthermore, in order to overcome the limitation that, at the time of implementing an accurate device for detecting directions and locations, the number of fixed terminals increases and the number of input ports increases ac¬ cordingly, the maximum number of fixed terminals can be arranged using the minimum number of input ports using a method of aggregating input ports on each fixed terminal or performing multiple division while repeatedly using input ports, thereby enabling precise direction input.
