Abstract

A coordinate detection method includes detecting coordinates corresponding to a position of a pen tip electrode of a pen by detecting distribution of signal levels in a plane of a touch surface through use of a plurality of linear electrodes disposed in the plane of the touch surface; detecting tilt data indicating a tilt of the pen; and acquiring a correction amount corresponding to a combination of the coordinates and the tilt data by referencing a correction table defining a correspondence between correction amounts and combinations of coordinates and tilt data.

Claims (13)

1. A coordinate detection method comprising:

detecting coordinates corresponding to a position of a pen tip electrode of a pen by detecting a distribution of signal levels in a plane of a touch surface through use of a plurality of linear electrodes disposed in the plane of the touch surface;

detecting tilt data indicating a tilt of the pen;

acquiring intermediate coordinates by correcting the coordinates corresponding to the position of the pen tip electrode of the pen according to the tilt data; and

acquiring a correction amount corresponding to the intermediate coordinates by referencing a correction table defining a correspondence between coordinates and correction amounts.

2. The coordinate detection method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the linear electrodes are arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals, and

the correction table defines a one-dimensional correspondence between correction amounts and relative coordinates from coordinates determined based on the predetermined intervals.

3. The coordinate detection method according to claim 2 , wherein the correction table includes relative coordinates of areas corresponding to the predetermined intervals.

4. The coordinate detection method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining second intermediate coordinates by correcting the coordinates corresponding to the position of the pen tip electrode of the pen using the correction amount; and

acquiring output coordinates by correcting the second intermediate coordinates according to the tilt data.

5. The coordinate detection method according to claim 4 , wherein the correcting the second intermediate coordinates according to the tilt data includes making a parallax correction.
