摘要:
The present invention relates to a character input apparatus and method which pairs the title of a heading to the region where a character is inputted and determines the character group which can be inputted into the region corresponding to the heading as input candidate characters. When a character is inputted in the region, the heading in that region is discriminated and the characters are recognized referring to the input candidate character group corresponding to the title of the heading.

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 coordinate input device interpolates sampling data, using less input data and simpler computing. The input data (coordinate information indicative of an input trace) are sampled both with a predetermined cycle (Tn), and at the end of a predetermined time interval after the sampling of the cycle Tn is complete. As a result of the two different samplings, not only the coordinate point determined by the sampling of cycle Tn, but also information indicative of a tangent vector at each coordinate point on the input trace are obtained. The coordinate point and the associated tangent vector information are thus output, so that a trace more faithful to the input trace is obtained using fewer coordinate points.

A coordinate input apparatus includes a wireless vibrating input pen for alternately generating a first vibration having a first frequency and a second vibration having a second frequency different from the first frequency. A vibration transmitting member is provided for transmitting the first and second vibrations input from the vibrating input pen by contacting the vibrating input pen. A plurality of vibration detectors are coupled to the vibration transmitting member for detecting the first and second vibrations transmitted through the vibration transmitting member. Processing circuitry is included for deriving at least one coordinate of a position of the vibrating input pen on the transmitting member according to a transmission delay time between the first and second vibrations detected by the vibration detectors. Transmission and reception of timing information between the vibrating input pen and the main body of the apparatus is not required. Hence, it becomes possible to provide a wireless vibrating input pen.
