Abstract: In a pointing input system and method, a pointer applies a light spot on a screen, an array sensor shoots on the screen to generate a first data for an identification system to retrieve a second data therefrom, the second data includes the position information of the light spot for an information system to apply a correlated output on the screen. The second data is generated based on an optical distortion information and a spatial rotation and displacement information determined by an alignment procedure that comprises applying an input for alignment on the screen for the array sensor to shoot to generate an alignment data, and comparing the alignment data with a reference data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an image processing method of a pointer input system. In the image processing method, a color channel image is generated from an image pickup device, so that image processing capability, the image processing efficiency and the data transmitting speed of the pointer input system are enhanced.

Abstract: A pointing input device includes a sheet-like light beam layer and a detector. The sheet-like light beam layer abuts a display screen and is distributed on a surface of a display screen, and includes plural light beams. The sheet-like light beam layer is generated by at least one light-generating module having a dot light source. The detector is for detecting a light spot composed of plural reflective beam when a physical object is intervened into the sheet-like light beam layer, so that a pointing input operation is performed on a specified position of the display screen corresponding to the light spot. Once the physical object is intervened into the sheet-like light beam layer, the light beams are sheltered by the physical object, so that the light spot with a reflective bright border is resulted from a touching action of the physical object.
