摘要:
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 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.

Position coordinates in a space defined by the first to third axes of a coordinate input pointing tool are calculated. A coordinate output form includes at least an absolute coordinate output form in which calculated coordinate values are directly output, and a relative coordinate output form in which the differential values between the calculated coordinate values and predetermined coordinate values are output. The value of the first axis of the calculated coordinate values is compared with a predetermined value. It is determined whether the coordinate values of the second and third axes of the calculated coordinate values fall within a predetermined range. The calculated coordinate values are output in a coordinate output form determined on the basis of the comparison result and determination result.

A coordinate input apparatus includes retroreflecting units at two opposite sides of a rectangular-shaped coordinate input effective region, and a plurality of sensor units provided at the two sides. Each of the sensor units includes a light receiving unit for receiving light that reaches the light receiving unit, a light projecting unit for projecting light toward a retroreflecting unit provided at one of the two sides, which opposes the light projecting unit, and a surface light emitting unit for emitting even diffused light from a band-shaped surface. Each of the sensor units simultaneously detects, by the light receiving unit, light that has been projected by the light projecting unit and reflected back by the retroreflecting unit at the side opposing the light projecting unit, and light that has been emitted by surface light emitting units of a plurality of sensor units at the side opposing the light projecting unit.

The position coordinates of a coordinate input pen are calculated. The position coordinates are changed on the basis of, of the calculated position coordinates, predetermined coordinates related to the distance between the coordinate input surface and the coordinate input pen. The changed position coordinates are output.
