A coordinate input apparatus includes a vibration pen, a vibration transmission plate, a plurality of vibration detecting units, a calculating unit, a memory unit, and a control unit. The calculating unit calculates vibration transmission times from a point designated by the vibration pen to the vibration detecting units, and calculates coordinate values of the designated point of the vibration pen. The memory unit stores the vibration transmission times from a first designated point of the vibration pen on the vibration transmission plate to the vibration detecting units and coordinate values of the first designated point. The control unit performs calculations on the basis of vibration transmission times from a second designated point calculated by the calculating unit to the vibration detecting units, the vibration transmission times from the first designated point and the coordinate values of the first designated point stored in the memory unit, thereby calculating coordinate values of the second designated point.

A coordinates input apparatus, for example, a digitizer, has a vibration propagation medium such as a transparent glass plate for allowing a vibration to propagate therethrough; an input pen for applying vibration to the vibration propagation medium; a vibration detector for detecting vibration applied by the input pen; an envelope output device for producing an envelope signal representing the envelope of the vibration detected by the vibration detector; a differentiator for conducting a differentiation of the envelope signal produced by the envelope output device so as to determine the peak; a controller adapted for determining, as the time of arrival of the vibration, a zero-cross point of the vibration that is located in the vicinity of a zero-cross point of the signal from the differentiator; and a computing device for computing the distance between the input pen and the vibration detector from the time determined by the controller.

A signal change range, which is generated due to a pointing operation of a pointer on a coordinate input region, with respect to an initial detection signal distribution of a detection unit in an initial state in which no pointing operation is made on the coordinate input region, is specified. End portion information of the specified signal change range is detected. Coordinates of the pointed position of the pointer are calculated using at least one of a plurality of pieces of detected end portion information.

Angle information corresponding to a specified point is calculated on the basis of a change in light amount distribution obtained from at least two sensor units which are arranged on the corner portions of a coordinate input region and receive incoming light. The coordinates of a pointed position on the coordinate input region are calculated on the basis of the calculated angle information. Each of the at least two sensor units includes two light-receiving units being first and second light-receiving units.

A device has a projection type image display unit which has a projection lens and generates a coordinate input screen, and linear sensors for sensing an image of a beam spot, and computes a coordinate value corresponding to the beam spot on the basis of information obtained by the projection type image display unit and the output signals from the linear sensors. This beam spot is generated by irradiating the predetermined position on the coordinate input screen with light coming from a pointing tool, or corresponds to a light-emitting portion provided to the distal end of the pointing tool located near the coordinate input screen.

A coordinates input apparatus which detects vibration, inputted by a vibration-input pen, by a plurality of vibration sensors provided on a vibration-transmitting tablet, and derives coordinates of a vibration-input point based on vibration transmitting time on the vibration-transmitting tablet. The vibration-transmitting tablet comprises a glass substrate and two sheets of resinous film laminated on the glass substrate. The two sheets of resinous film are laminated on both surfaces of the glass substrate in an orientation such that the stretched directions of the resinous film differ for 90 degrees. By this, a vibration-transmitting tablet where sheets of protection film are laminated, and a coordinates input apparatus which minimizes the changes in vibration propagation velocity depending on the propagation directions, are realized.

Vibration is sensed as a signal by a vibration sensor and the signal level of the sensed signal is measured by an A/D converter. The distance between a position entered by a vibrating input pen and the vibration sensor is calculated and, on the basis of the calculated distance, input level information is obtained from the measured signal level by an arithmetic and control unit.
