    摘要: A cover film used together with a pen sensor including a plurality of sensor electrodes, and a sensor controller which detects a position of an active pen in reference to a distribution of signal levels each corresponding to an amount of electric charge induced in an individual one of the plurality of sensor electrodes by a pen signal transmitted from a pen tip electrode disposed at a tip of the active pen. The cover film includes a conductive resin that covers an effective area formed by the sensor electrodes for detection of the position of the active pen and that includes a substantially uniform resistance component at least within a range of the effective area. The cover film is arranged, without via a cover glass, on an upper surface of a sensor electrode group including the plurality of sensor electrodes.

    摘要: A position detection method performed using a capacitive touch sensor with line electrodes two-dimensionally arranged. The method includes: acquiring first two-dimensional data indicating a first distribution of detection values of capacitance on the touch sensor; recognizing that a foreign object is present in an area on the touch sensor based on the first two-dimensional data; in response to the recognizing that the foreign object is present in the area on the touch sensor based on the first two-dimensional data, using a first threshold that is lower than a second threshold for detecting a first touch position or touch area inside of the area on the touch sensor in which the foreign object is present; and detecting the first touch position or touch area inside of the area on the touch sensor in which the foreign object is present based on the first two-dimensional data and the first threshold.

    摘要: An electronic pen cartridge includes a pen tip that is configured to protrude outside of an electronic pen electronic pen casing through an opening of the electronic pen casing, an electronic circuit that transfers signals to a position detecting sensor, and a first connector that is joined to a second connector disposed in the electronic pen casing. The first connector includes plural terminals insulated from each other, and each of the terminals is electrically connected to the electronic circuit. The first connector and the second connector are joined through insertion of a fitting protrusion of a first one of the first connector and the second connector into a fitting recess of a second one of the first connector and the second connector in an axis center direction of the electronic pen casing, and circular annular conductor contacts are included in the first connector or the second connector.

    摘要: Provided are an ink data generation apparatus, an ink data generation method, and an ink data generation program that are capable of improving ease of handling ink data when or after metadata is generated. An ink data generation apparatus performs a determination as to an inclusion relation between a first set and a second set by comparing stroke elements of first set data and stroke elements of second set data using the first set data and the second set data. The ink data generation apparatus generates first metadata for the first set described in a form that varies in accordance with a result of the determination.

    摘要: A sensor controller, which is connected to sensor electrodes and detects positions of one or more active pens based on charge induced on the sensor electrodes, includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the sensor controller to: detect an approach of one of the one or more active pens using the sensor electrode; pair with the one of the one or more active pens with the approach of the one of the one or more active pens detected and update pairing state information indicative of a pairing state of each of the one or more active pens that is paired with the sensor controller; and transmit the pairing state information from the sensor electrodes to the one or more active pens via an uplink signal used as a reference for time synchronization.
