  • Position input apparatus that detects a position where a pressure is applied
    Patent number: 9046956
    Abstract: As for a position input apparatus that, when a user applies a pressure to an operation area, determines a pressed position where the pressure is applied, the manufacturing cost of the position input apparatus is reduced. An operation plate is a flat plate having the operation area on one surface. A plurality of pressure sensors (pressure detection devices) detect, at respectively different pressure detection positions, a detection position pressure generated by the pressure applied to the pressed position. A pressed position determination device determines the pressed position, based on a plurality of detection position pressures detected by the plurality of pressure sensors.

  • Semiconductor integrated circuit device, facility appliance control device, and appliance state display apparatus
    Patent number: 8823723
    Abstract: An application program changes a property value of a graphic object arranged in an object database. An object manager reads out the property value from the object database and then issues a drawing command. A graphics engine executes the drawing command to configure a memory image of the graphic object on a VRAM to display the image on a liquid crystal display via an LCDC.
