Abstract: An operation input device or an electronic device equipped with the operation input device comprises an operation panel which includes a half mirror-deposited film being formed in one surface, and a plurality of touch input sensors of an electrostatic capacity detecting type arranged to face the surface in which the half mirror-deposited film is formed. The operation input device further comprises a light emitting display section which includes light emitting display elements to emit and display a light in positions of the plurality of arranged touch input sensors, and a light emitting display control section which permits light emission only from the light emitting display element corresponding to an operable touch input sensor among the plurality of touch input sensors. As a result, inoperable sections on the operation panel are made difficult to be seen from an operator.

Abstract: An IC card loading device has an opening end closing lid, a card holder for guiding a loading and removing direction of the IC card, and a connecting portion. The card holder can be operated independently of the opening and closing lid. The IC card is loaded in the card holder when the opening and closing lid is opened. When the opening and closing lid is closed, the card holder moves and the connecting portion of the IC card and the connecting portion of the main body of the IC card loading device are electrically connected.

Abstract: A speech information recording/reproduction apparatus includes a CPU for recording digital speech data, into which a speech signal is converted, in a rewritable solid memory, a partial erasing switch for erasing the speech data recorded in the solid memory, and a reproduction switch for setting an erasing range of the speech data from the solid memory. The CPU delays execution of erasure for several seconds after the erasing range is set, and predetermined information about the execution of erasure is displayed by an LCD and an LED for these several seconds. The CPU does not erase the speech data from the solid memory when a reset switch is operated to cancel the execution of erasure during the display of the information, but erases it after the information is displayed when the reset switch is not operated during the display.
