摘要： A pointer detection apparatus includes a conductor pattern formed of intersecting first and second conductors. A signal supplying circuit generates transmission signals each comprised of a first code and a second code having an equal code length and having a predetermined relationship to each other, and supplies the generated transmission signals to the first conductors. A signal detection circuit is connected to the second conductors and detects reception signals, at least one of which corresponds to a variation of capacitance between the conductor pattern and a pointer. A correlation arithmetic operation circuit calculates, for each of the reception signals, first and second correlation values between the reception signal and first and second correlation value arithmetic operation signals corresponding to the first and second codes, respectively. A synthesis circuit calculates, for each pair of the first and second correlation values, a synthesis correlation value, based on which the pointer is detected.

摘要： An indicator position detecting device and method are provided, which allow accurate position detection without the influence of noise in detection of the position of an indicator (e.g., a finger, a stylus pen) by a capacitive coupling system. To a conductor pattern in which plural conductors for signal transmission and plural conductors for signal reception intersect with each other, signals with frequencies different from each other are simultaneously supplied to the plural conductors on the transmission side, and signals of respective frequencies corresponding to the plural signals with the different frequencies are detected on the reception side, to thereby detect the position of an indicator on the conductor pattern. The amount of noise of each of the detected frequencies is detected. Any frequency that cannot be properly detected due to noise is switched to another frequency, and detection is carried out based on the newly selected frequency.
