First Claim
Patent Images
1. A coordinate input apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of detection units configured to detect an input coordinate position on a coordinate input region; and
a selection unit configured to select, in a case where a plurality of signal change ranges occur in each of detection signals output from the plurality of detection units, one of a plurality of coordinate positions corresponding to the plurality of signal change ranges according to which hand an operator uses to input a coordinate position.

Abstract
A coordinate input apparatus inputs detection signals output from a plurality of detection units configured to detect an input coordinate position on a coordinate input region. In a case where a plurality of signal change ranges occur in each of detection signals output from the plurality of detection units, the coordinate input apparatus selects one of a plurality of coordinate positions corresponding to the plurality of signal change ranges according to which hand an operator uses to input a coordinate position.
