Coordinate position detecting apparatus and control method thereof
First Claim
1. A coordinate position detecting apparatus, comprising:
- a scanning unit that scans a predetermined scanning area in predetermined scanning precision along a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with respect to a display screen by employing detection beams respectively;
wherein a position of a light shielding article on the display screen is detected in correspondence with scanning positions of the detection beams which are light-shielded;
the scanning unit includes;
a drive control unit that switches a plurality of scanning modes having different scanning accuracies from each other; and
a moving speed detecting unit that detects a moving speed of the light shielding article; and
the scanning unit selects a predetermined scanning mode from the plurality of scanning modes in response to the scanning speed detected by the moving speed detecting unit to perform a scanning operation.

Abstract
A coordinate position detecting apparatus includes: a scanning unit that scans a predetermined scanning area in predetermined scanning precision along a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with respect to a display screen by employing detection beams respectively. A position of a light shielding article on the display screen is detected in correspondence with scanning positions of the detection beams which are light-shielded. The scanning unit includes: a drive control unit that switches a plurality of scanning modes having different scanning accuracies from each other; and a moving speed detecting unit that detects a moving speed of the light shielding article. The scanning unit selects a predetermined scanning mode from the plurality of scanning modes in response to the scanning speed detected by the moving speed detecting unit to perform a scanning operation.

5. A control method of a coordinate position detecting apparatus, wherein the coordinate position detecting apparatus scans a predetermined scanning area in a predetermined scanning accuracy along a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with respect to a display screen by employing detection beams respectively, and detects a position of a light shielding article on the display screen in correspondence with scanning positions of the detection beams which are light-shielded, the control method comprising:
-
performing a scanning in a first scanning mode until the light shielding article is detected; and
performing a scanning in a plurality of scanning mode that are different from the first scanning mode and that is selected in response to a moving speed of the light shielding article. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A program product for enabling a computer to control a coordinate position detecting apparatus, wherein the coordinate position detecting apparatus scans a predetermined scanning area in a predetermined scanning accuracy along a horizontal direction and a vertical direction with respect to a display screen by employing detection beams respectively, and detects a position of a light shielding article on the display screen in correspondence with scanning positions of the detection beams which are light-shielded, the program product comprising:
-
software instructions for enabling the computer to instruct the coordinate position detecting apparatus to perform predetermined operations; and
a computer readable medium bearing the software instructions;
wherein the predetermined operations includes;
performing a scanning in a first scanning mode until the light shielding article is detected; and
performing a scanning in a plurality of scanning mode that are different from the first scanning mode and that is selected in response to a moving speed of the light shielding article.
