摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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 coordinates input apparatus which detects vibration, inputted by a vibration-input pen, by a plurality of vibration sensors provided on a vibration-transmitting tablet, and derives coordinates of a vibration-input point based on vibration transmitting time on the vibration-transmitting tablet. The vibration-transmitting tablet comprises a glass substrate and two sheets of resinous film laminated on the glass substrate. The two sheets of resinous film are laminated on both surfaces of the glass substrate in an orientation such that the stretched directions of the resinous film differ for 90 degrees. By this, a vibration-transmitting tablet where sheets of protection film are laminated, and a coordinates input apparatus which minimizes the changes in vibration propagation velocity depending on the propagation directions, are realized.

摘要： The present invention detects coordinates of a designated point and includes a vibration transmission plate having anisotropic properties such that vibrations from a vibration generation source applied to the vibration transmission plate propagate through the vibration transmission plate with differing vibration transmission velocities depending on a direction of transmission of vibration. A plurality of vibration detection units are provided for detecting vibrations transmitted through the vibration transmission plate, and a determination unit determines coordinates of the vibration generation source by measuring time periods of propagation of vibrations through the vibration transmission plate from the vibration generation source to one or more of the vibration detetion units. Further, the vibration transmission plate and the plurality of vibration detection units are provided such that bisectors of angles made by two line segments each connecting two opposing vibration detection units from among the plurality of vibration detection units coincide with axes of anisotropy of the vibration transmission plate.
