摘要:
A vibration which is input to a vibration propagating plate by a vibration pen is detected by vibration sensors attached at corner positions of the plate. This vibration is propagated as elastic waves in the vibration propagating plate and reaches the sensors. The coordinates of the vibration input point are calculated on the basis of the vibration propagating times corresponding to the detection signals from the sensors. The vibration sensors are come into pressure contact with the vibration propagating plate through a fluid like a grease having a high viscosity or consistency. Since such a fluid is filled in the space which is formed between the pressure contacting surfaces of the vibrator and vibration propagating plate, their coupling states are stable and the vibration and coordinates detecting characteristics can be uniformed every product.

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.

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.

In a convertible notebook/tablet computer with a dual-swivel hinge, an arrangement for communicating to a user a preferred rotational direction for pivoting about a z-axis, entirely without wiring or lights and in a manner such that at most only one rotational direction is communicated at a time. Preferably, this is accomplished via one or more windows, disposed on a surface of the hinge, that permit an arrow to be visible in accordance with a preferred rotational direction that a user needs to pivot the monitor/lid with respect to the keyboard based on the rotational direction originally traversed.
