  • Patent number: 11977689
    Abstract: Input of various kinds of information to an image processing device by use of a foot part of a user is enabled in order not to cause a difference between an image that changes and a feeling with respect to the motion of the body of the user. Position indicators are disposed at a sole back part of a foot-part position indicating instrument. A foot-part position detecting device receives a position indication signal from the position indicators, detects whether the foot-part position indicating instrument makes forward movement that is movement in the extension direction of a line extended in a direction from a heel-side part toward a toe-side part or makes backward movement that is movement in the extension direction of a line extended in a direction from the toe-side part toward the heel-side part, and indicates the forward movement and the backward movement to the image processing device.

  • Publication number: 20230244332
    Abstract: Disclosed is an input device including a position detection sensor, an operation including a position indicator which, in operation, indicates a position through interaction with the position detection sensor and accepts a predetermined operation, the operation part being disposed on an input surface that serves as a position detection region of the position detection sensor, an operation detection circuit that, in operation, detects the operation accepted by the operation part, based on the interaction between the position indicator of the operation part and the position detection sensor, and a control signal output circuit that, in operation, outputs a control signal corresponding to the operation detected by the operation detection circuit.

  • Patent number: 11550405
    Abstract: A learning support system includes: an electronic pen, a writing medium position instruction tool, a position detection apparatus, and a display apparatus. The electronic pen is capable of recording handwriting and transmitting a position instruction signal. The position detection apparatus determines a position of a note provided with the writing medium position instruction tool on a position detection sensor incorporated in a desk mat based on a placement position instruction signal from the writing medium position instruction tool, converts coordinates of coordinate information corresponding to handwriting recorded on the note by the electronic pen, and displays an image corresponding to the handwriting recorded on the note on a display terminal and a teacher terminal in a mode recorded on the note. The learning support system enables an educator to determine a situation of a learner to contribute to an increase effectiveness of learning.
