  • Publication number: 20200393928
    Abstract: A touch input system includes a touch input device and a touch input auxiliary tool. The touch input device includes a detector, a function addition section, and an input determination section. The detector has a touch input surface and detects touch input to the touch input surface or a position of the touch input auxiliary tool arranged on the touch input surface. The function addition section adds a touch input button function corresponding to the touch input auxiliary tool to a corresponding area that corresponds to the position of the touch input auxiliary tool on the touch input surface in the case where the detector detects the touch input auxiliary tool. The input determination section that determines that input is carried out by the touch input button function added to the corresponding area in the case where the detector detects the touch input to the corresponding area by the touch input object.

  • Patent number: 10709028
    Abstract: A touch pen includes a shaft-shaped body, a pen tip provided on a front end of the body, a switch unit arranged in a line on a side face of the body, a battery disposed inside the body, and a barrel in which a slit having a front opening is formed in an axial direction. A back end of the body is inserted from the opening such that the barrel covers an outer face of the body with the switch unit positioned in the slit, and the barrel has a center of gravity on an opposite side of the slit as seen in a transverse cross-section. When the touch pen is placed horizontally in a state with the barrel mounted on the outer face of the body, the center of gravity is positioned on the opposite side of the switch unit and the switch unit is positioned on top.

  • Publication number: 20160133202
    Abstract: Provided is a multi-monitor system that includes display devices having different luminance levels with respect to the same set luminance value and that can easily match the luminance levels of the display devices. A multi-monitor system including a plurality of display devices includes a processor that, on the basis of respective luminance information values of a particular display device and the other display device of the plurality of display devices and a set luminance value of the particular display device arbitrarily set by a user, calculates set luminance value of the other display device in such a manner that luminance level of the other display device becomes substantially equal to a luminance level of the particular display device.
