Abstract:
An input device according to one of various embodiments of the present disclosure includes a body having an ElectroMagnetic Induction (EMI) circuit, a first contact member reciprocating in the body and associated with the EMI circuit, and a second contact member installed to the body and having at least a part disposed in side by side with the first contact member, the second contact member being made of a conductive material.
Abstract:
A coordinates measurement system for measuring positions of a finger and a coordinates indication device other than the finger is provided, which determines the touched position of an object such as a stylus pen, while using a single touch screen.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for controlling a coordinate measuring apparatus including a first touch panel that detects a contact of a portion of a human body and a contact of a coordinate indicating apparatus, and a second touch panel for detecting an electromagnetic signal from the coordinate indicating apparatus. The method includes determining a detection state of the coordinate indicating apparatus based on the electromagnetic signal detected by the second touch panel; and determining an activated area of the first touch panel based on the detection state of the coordinate indicating apparatus.
Abstract:
A sensing apparatus and method are provided for determining an input point of a touch. A sensing loop unit includes at least one loop. Each of the at least one loop includes two sub-loops separated by a predetermined distance. An area determination loop unit determines one of the two sub-loops of each of the at least one loop that corresponds to the input point. A controller determines a plurality of candidates of the input point based on a first input signal from the sensing loop unit, and determines the input point from among the plurality of candidates of the input point based on a second input signal from the area determination loop unit.
Abstract:
A sensing apparatus for determining a pen input point includes a sensing loop unit, including loops, to output a first signal from a pen signal, wherein each loop includes two sub-loops separated by a distance; an area determination loop unit including at least one loop to output a second signal from the pen signal; and a controller to determine input point candidates based on the first signal and determine the input point from the input point candidates based on the second signal, wherein the two sub-loops are in series, wherein one sub-loop of the two sub-loops is disposed inside of an area in which one loop of the area determination loop unit is disposed and another sub-loop of the two sub-loops is disposed outside of the area in which the one loop is disposed, and wherein each loop of the sensing loop unit determines the candidates of the input point.
Abstract:
A method is provided for recognizing characters of an image captured using a camera in a mobile terminal. The camera captures an image of a signboard. A text area is extracted from the captured image. Characters are recognized from the extracted text area. At least one text is generated by combining the recognized characters. The at least one text is compared with at least one store name within a predetermined range. A comparison result is output.
