Patent number: 6359616Abstract: A coordinate input apparatus for correcting the shift in an input coordinate system between different coordinate input apparatuses relative to an opening of each apparatus. A data processing block captures information from a coordinate detector PD to determine whether a tapping operation has been performed and determine whether the finger is being slid on a sensor board. A data analyzing block compares inputted absolute coordinates (X, y) with minimum coordinate values (Xmin, Ymin) and maximum coordinate values (Xmax, Ymax) indicative of a preset effective pointing area on the sensor board. A control block controls the data analyzing block to transfer replaced minimum coordinate values (Xmin, Ymin), maximum coordinate values (Xmax, Ymax) and the values of absolute coordinates (X, Y) to a data correcting block. Based on these minimum coordinate values (Xmin, Ymin) and maximum coordinate values (Xmax, Ymax), the data correcting block transforms the absolute coordinates (X, Y) into display coordinates.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1999Date of Patent: March 19, 2002Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Ogura, Harumi Takase, Shoji Suzuki, Yoshiyuki Kikuchi, Akira Yanai

Patent number: 6037929Abstract: Disclosed are a coordinate input system and a method of controlling the coordinate input system, which can protect work of a user under progress against troubles even when the user touch an operating surface of a pad by mistake during key input operation on a keyboard. When the user operates a coordinate detecting device (PD) such as a pad, the operating action is sent to a coordinate outputting device (PC) such as a personal computer and analyzed by a data analyzer (12). If the user enters key inputs through a keyboard (19), a controller (15) instructs a mode converter (13) not to inform the operating action detected and sent from the data analyzer (12). After that, the controller (15) clears a timer built in a measuring unit (14) each time an key input is entered. Subsequently, if the key input operation is stopped, the measuring unit (14) actually starts counting of the timer. If the timer value exceeds a certain threshold, this is informed to the controller (15).Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1997Date of Patent: March 14, 2000Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Ogura, Akihisa Itoh

Patent number: 5995083Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a coordinates input apparatus whereby various operations on a screen can be carried out where practicable with one finger, and the number of operations reduced, thus giving a marked improvement in user operability. The coordinates input apparatus of the invention therefore comprises a detection section and an operating section. The detection section is provided with an operating surface for operation by a coordinates pointer such as a finger, and detects the operating conditions on the operating surface caused by the coordinates pointer. The operating section executes screen operations corresponding to the operating condition detected by the detection section, and in addition detects tapping of the coordinates pointer on the operating surface within a predetermined region, and carries out previously determined processing.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1996Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tadamitsu Sato, Tsuyoshi Ogura, Akihisa Itoh

Patent number: 5907327Abstract: Disclosed are a coordinate input system and a method of controlling the coordinate input system, which can notify a user of a state of having come into a drag lock mode in an easily discernable manner, and hence can keep the user from being embarrassed as far as possible. When the user operates a coordinate detecting device (PD) such as a pad, the operating action is sent to a coordinate outputting device (PC) such as a personal computer. If the user makes a predetermined drag lock action, this action is detected by a measuring unit (13), causing a mode converter (14) to effect shift to a drag lock mode. The coordinate outputting device (PC) is thereby held in a similar state as allowing continuous dragging of an icon or window indicated on the screen of a display (16). At this time, a controller (15) replaces the cursor indicated on the screen by other one having a different shape specific to the drag lock mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1997Date of Patent: May 25, 1999Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Ogura, Akihisa Itoh

Patent number: 5781181Abstract: A coordinate detection system capable of displaying relevant coordinates when operated with only one fingertip or like coordinate designator even during a repeat operation of the latter with no complicated designator manipulations required. The system comprises a coordinate detection apparatus and a coordinate output apparatus. The coordinate detection apparatus includes a sensor substrate to be operated by the coordinate designator, scan driving output units for generating a detection signal in response to the coordinate designator operation, and signal processing units for extracting tap and slide component data from the detection signal and supplying the extracted data to the coordinate output apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 1996Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akira Yanai, Osamu Hara, Tsuyoshi Ogura
