<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an easy-to-handle and inexpensive coordinate input device for multiple monitors. <P>SOLUTION: The coordinate input device for inputting indicated position coordinates by an indicator to an electronic computer is provided on a plurality of display screens 6 and 7 for which a plurality of display devices 1 and 2 connected to the electronic computer 3 are combined. A detection area 10 includes all the areas of the plurality of display screens. In order to photograph the indicator 13 placed inside the detection area, a camera 11 is arranged at at least two parts in the outside of the detection area. In a processing part 3, the indicated position coordinates of the indicator are calculated on the basis of information photographed by the camera. An input invalid area in which input by the indicator is to be neglected can be arbitrarily provided inside the detection area. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
