摘要:
A plurality of linear sensors (20Xa, 20Xb, 20Ya, 20Yb) sense a beam spot and the results of sensing the beam spot are corrected. The corrected items of data are concatenated and coordinates corresponding to the beam spot are calculated by a coordinate calculation unit (32) based upon the concatenated data. Light-receptive areas of the linear sensors (20Xa, 20Xb, 20Ya, 20Yb) have mutually overlapping portions.

A first cylindrical lens and a first linear sensor are constructed on the X axis, a second cylindrical lens and a second linear sensor are constructed on the Y axis, the X and Y axes are orthogonal, and the image width of a beam spot formed by each of the first and second cylindrical lenses is larger than each pixel of the corresponding first and second linear sensors.

A cap covering a light-emitting element attached to the distal end of an indicator is held by a sliding member, and is slidably attached axially along the indicator. By pressing/separating the cap against/from a coordinate input surface, a tact switch operates interlockingly with the cap to switch driving control of the light-emitting element. For example, the light-emitting element is driven by pressing the cap, and driving of the light-emitting element is stopped by separating the cap. Since the cap covers the light-emitting element, the light-emitting element can be prevented from being worn and scratched. Driving control of the light-emitting element need not be additionally switched, resulting in high operability.

A coordinates input apparatus for detecting coordinates of an instructed position from a vibration progagation time on a vibration propagation plate is provided. This apparatus comprises; a vibration pen to generate a vibration; a vibration propagation plate with which the vibration pen is come into contact and which transmits the vibration; a sensor which is arranged in contact relation with the vibration propagation plate and detects the vibration; a vibration-proof material attached to the periphery of the vibration propagation plate so as to have a width of 1/2 of a wavelength of the elastic wave of the vibration; and an operation controller to calculate the contact position of the vibration pen on the vibration propagation plate from the detection time when the vibration was detected by the sensor. The sensor detects the surface wave of the vibration-proof material. With this apparatus, the coordinates of the instructed point can be accurately detected using the vibration with being hardly influenced by the reflected waves from the periphery of the plate.

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.

In an image processing apparatus having a designator for designating an area of a document image and a processor for carrying out a predetermined process to the designated area when the document image is input, the document image area designator has a document table at an image input unit, made of a transparent and vibration-transmitting plate, and a coordinate input device for detecting coordinates of a vibration input point by detecting vibration applied to the document table, by vibration sensors arranged in the document table.
摘要:
A mechanical degree of freedom is provided between electrodes and sensors, thereby accomplishing both of the assurance of an arranging position precision of the sensors and the easiness of manufacturing. In a coordinates input apparatus for detecting a coordinates position on the basis of a delay time which is required until an elastic wave oscillation which propagates on an oscillation propagating plate arrives at an oscillation sensor, an oscillation sensor is fixed in a manner such that one electrode surface is come into contact with a conductive surface of an oscillation propagating plate. A contact member is positioned onto the other electrode surface of the oscillation sensor by an annular member by using an external shape of the sensor as a reference. An electrode unit includes a signal electrode and a ground electrode. The ground electrode is come into contact with the conductive surface so as to be electrically conductive thereto. The signal electrode is come into contact with the contact member so as to be electrically conductive to the electrode surface of the sensor through the contact member.
