An object of the invention is to allow an editing work such as image input and image erasure to be performed easily. Specifically, according to the invention, a size of an image editing area is changed with a motion amount of input coordinates. Therefore, the size suitable for each type of editing process can be set without specific operation instructions, and the editing area having a suitable area size can be designated without interrupting a trace input operation.

Coordinates input apparatus and method which can accurately calculate a coordinate position by two vibration sensors are provided. The occurrence of a vibration of an input pen is controlled by at least two kinds of forms. At least two vibration sensors each for detecting the vibration from the input pen are provided. On the basis of the time until the vibration of each form arrives every vibration sensor, the distance from the input position of the input pen is calculated every vibration of each form. A difference between the distances calculated every vibration of each form which is calculated is calculated every vibration sensor.

A coordinate input apparatus which can attain an accurate coordinate input operation, includes a sensor for detecting an input variation. The vibration is amplified, and an envelope detection circuit generates the envelope of the amplified vibration. A gate signal generation circuit receives the envelope and a second-order differential signal of the envelope generated by an inflection point detection circuit. The gate signal generation circuit attenuates the envelope and adds a predetermined offset to the attenuated envelope. The gate signal generation circuit compares the sum signal with the second-order differential signal to generate a gate signal. In the duration of the gate signal, a tg comparator detects, as a group delay time, a time up to the zero cross point of the second-order differential signal, and a tp comparator detects, as a phase delay time, a time up to the zero cross point in a predetermined order of a phase signal. An arithmetic control circuit calculates the coordinate position of a vibration input source on the basis of these delay times.

In a distance measuring device for calculating the distance from the arrival time of the Lamb wave, the thickness of the propagation plate and the frequency of the Lamb wave are optimized in relation to the material of the propagation plate in order not to deteriorate the precision of distance detection even in case an approximate wave velocity is used in the calculation. The plate thickness and the frequency are so selected, in relation to the plate material, as to minimize a function G(f, d) defined by:G(f, d)=Vg.multidot.Vp/{f(Vg-Vp)}whereinf: frequencyVg: group velocity of Lamb waveVp: phase velocity of Lamb waved: plate thickness.

In the coordinate detection of resistive film system, detection of the coordinates of simultaneously designated two points is made possible. On a touch panel composed of two conductive films, whether input is made in a point or simultaneously at two points is judged by a current monitor. Simultaneous inputs at two points decrease the apparent resistance of the conductive film, and can be detected by an increase in the current. If the input of a point is identified, the coordinate data of the input point are retained as latest coordinate data in a RAM. If simultaneous inputs at two points are identified, coordinate data are obtained from the coordinate data retained in the RAM and from the potentials in the x and y directions, obtained from two conductive films constituting a touch panel, through amplifiers, and are outputted, together with the coordinate data retained in the RAM, as the coordinate data of the two points.

An information apparatus has an input device with a portion to be supported in an information apparatus installing desk. The portion to be supported serves as a contact with an arc-shaped desk in which one point on a ridge line of a casing of the information apparatus is set to a center. A top plate having a concavity which can enclose an information apparatus, an arc-shaped receiving portion for supporting the arc-shaped portion to be supported, and a tilt mechanism for rotating the information apparatus around the center of the arc as a rotational center are provided on the desk side for installing the information apparatus.

Continuity of coordinates between areas of a coordinate input surface which is divided into a plurality of areas is maintained. In inputting "A, B, C" on a coordinate input plate, when an input operation is started from an initial point, area is determined as an input area, and vibration delay times are measured by using sensors, thereby calculating a coordinate value. When the input operation is continued up to a terminal point, the input point shifts to area. However, vibrations are detected by using the same sensors to calculate a coordinate value as long as the input operation is continuously performed. With this operation, since sensors are not changed for the respective areas, discontinuity of lines at the boundaries between the areas can be prevented.

An influence by a vibration which is transmitted in the air is reduced, thereby preventing an erroneous detection of coordinates or a deterioration in a detecting precision. An elastic resin sheet is arranged on a coordinates input surface side of a vibration transmission plate so as to have a gap between the resin sheet and the vibration transmission plate and is fixed by an adhesive layer. When coordinates are inputted by a vibrator pen, namely, when a vibration is inputted, the resin sheet is warped by a writing pressure of the vibrator pen and the resin sheet comes into contact with the vibration transmission plate. Therefore, the vibration applied by the vibrator pen is efficiently transmitted to the vibration transmission plate. On the other hand, a vibration transmitted from the air is reflected by the boundary on both surface sides of the resin sheet and by the surface of the vibration transmission plate by a difference between acoustic impedances, so that the vibration entering the vibration transmission plate is remarkably reduced.

摘要:
A shift of an input coordinate by a change in temperature in a coordinate input device is prevented. An arithmetic operation and control circuit 1 applies a drive signal to a vibration pen 3 and starts a timer. The drive signal applied to the vibration pen 3 is delayed by a delay circuit 12, which drives a vibrator drive circuit 2 to generate vibration. A delay time of the delay circuit 12 is shortened as a temperature rises and a sum time of the delay generated by the delay circuit 12 and a delay generated in the vibration pen 3 as the temperature changes is constant regardless of the temperature. As a result, a vibration propagation time measured by the timer represents a net propagation time plus a constant delay time regardless of the temperature. Thus, the stable coordinate input is assured regardless of the temperature.
