摘要:
A coordinate input apparatus comprises: a vibration pen to generate a vibration; a vibration propagating plate to propagate the vibration generated by the pen by touching the pen to the plate; vibration sensors to detect the vibration propagated to the plate; a supporting member which supports the plate and whose vibration propagating velocity is slower than the plate; a position coordinate calculating circuit to calculate the position coordinates of the pen on the plate on the basis of the detection signals from the sensors; and a display which is provided below the supporting member and displays the calculated coordinates. The plate is made of metal or transparent glass and the supporting membrr is made of a transparent synthetic resin. The supporting member is directly in contact with the plate at a rough surface, its acoustic impedance value is different from the plate, and its vibration attenuation ratio is larger than that of the plate. Since the vibration wave component propagated to the sensors is not influenced by the interference of the vibration propagated in the support member, the coordinates can be accurately detected on the basis of the vibration detection waveforms without distortion.

A coordinate input apparatus includes a wireless vibrating input pen for alternately generating a first vibration having a first frequency and a second vibration having a second frequency different from the first frequency. A vibration transmitting member is provided for transmitting the first and second vibrations input from the vibrating input pen by contacting the vibrating input pen. A plurality of vibration detectors are coupled to the vibration transmitting member for detecting the first and second vibrations transmitted through the vibration transmitting member. Processing circuitry is included for deriving at least one coordinate of a position of the vibrating input pen on the transmitting member according to a transmission delay time between the first and second vibrations detected by the vibration detectors. Transmission and reception of timing information between the vibrating input pen and the main body of the apparatus is not required. Hence, it becomes possible to provide a wireless vibrating input pen.

A coordinate input apparatus determines the coordinates of contact of a vibration pen with a vibration transmission plate by detecting vibrations from the pen through a vibration sensor. Constants required for measurement are generated in a constant determination circuit on the basis of vibration cycle measurements and a circuit measures the cycle of the detected vibrations from the vibration sensor using the determined constants. Automatic determination of constants eliminates inaccuracies due to component variations and reduces production costs and maintenance.

A vibration which is input to a vibration propagating plate by a vibration pen is detected by vibration sensors attached at corner positions of the plate. This vibration is propagated as elastic waves in the vibration propagating plate and reaches the sensors. The coordinates of the vibration input point are calculated on the basis of the vibration propagating times corresponding to the detection signals from the sensors. The vibration sensors are come into pressure contact with the vibration propagating plate through a fluid like a grease having a high viscosity or consistency. Since such a fluid is filled in the space which is formed between the pressure contacting surfaces of the vibrator and vibration propagating plate, their coupling states are stable and the vibration and coordinates detecting characteristics can be uniformed every product.

A coordinate inputting device in which the vibrations imparted from a vibration pen to a vibration transmitting plate are detected by a plurality of vibration sensors so as to enable the coordinates of a vibration input point to be detected using the time it takes for the vibrations to propagate on the vibration transmitting plate. The vibration transmitting plate has noise interrupting means for preventing noise coexistent with the vibrations imparted by the vibration pair for coordinate detection from being input to the vibration sensor.

The present invention relates to a character input apparatus and method which pairs the title of a heading to the region where a character is inputted and determines the character group which can be inputted into the region corresponding to the heading as input candidate characters. When a character is inputted in the region, the heading in that region is discriminated and the characters are recognized referring to the input candidate character group corresponding to the title of the heading.

An image forming apparatus is of the type in which a plurality of toner images are successively transferred onto a printing medium from a plurality of image carriers one above another. A toner image built on each of the image carriers is transferred onto the printing medium at a predetermined image transferring position. The apparatus is so constructed that each of the image carriers and printing medium conveying means are driven by single driving power transmitting means which is caused to move endlessly.
