1. An information input generation apparatus, comprising: a timing signal generation unit for generating a timing signal; a lighting unit for emitting a light whose intensity vary in time, according to the timing signal generated by the timing signal generation unit; and a reflected light extraction unit having a sensor array for detecting a reflected light from a target object resulting from the light emitted by the lighting unit, in synchronization with the timing signal generated by the timing signal generation unit, so as to obtain a spatial intensity distribution of the reflected light in a form of a reflected light image indicative of an information input related to the target object, in separation from an external light that is illuminating the target object.
