INPUT DEVICE AND DISPLAY
First Claim
1. An input device capable of, while a first panel component of the input device is placed next to a second panel component of a counterpart device, accepting an input of a continuous track made through contact of the target object or approach thereof, the continuous track extending from the first panel component to the second panel component, the input device comprising:
- a region determining section for, at an occurrence of contact of the counterpart device with the input device or approach thereof to the input device, determining a first adjacent region and defining, in the first adjacent region, an input coordinate system that is in common with the counterpart device, the first adjacent region being a region located in the first panel component so as to be adjacent to the second panel component;
a detection position determining section for, upon detection of a user operation performed in the first adjacent region, determining first detection coordinates indicating a position of the user operation in the input coordinate system; and
a transmitting section for transmitting, to the counterpart device, the first detection coordinates determined by the detection position determining section.

Abstract
An input device (2a) includes: a position/angle determining section (505) for determining an adjacent region (F1) and defining, in the adjacent region (F1), an input coordinate system that is in common with a counterpart device; a detection position control section (701) for determining first detection coordinates indicating a user operation performed in the adjacent region (F1) in the input coordinate system; and a data transmitting and receiving section (506) for transmitting the first detection coordinates to the counterpart device.

3. An input device capable of, while a second panel component of the input device is placed next to a first panel component of a counterpart device, accepting an input of a continuous track made through contact of the target object or approach thereof, the continuous track extending from the first panel component to the second panel component, the input device comprising:
-
a region determining section for, at an occurrence of contact of the counterpart device with the input device or approach thereof to the input device, determining a second adjacent region and defining, in the second adjacent region, an input coordinate system that is in common with the counterpart device, the second adjacent region being a region located in the second panel component so as to be adjacent to the first panel component; a receiving section for receiving first detection coordinates, determined by the counterpart device, indicating, in the input coordinate system, a position of a user operation performed in a first adjacent region, the first adjacent region being a region located in the first panel component so as to be adjacent to the second panel component; a detection position determining section for, upon detection of a user operation performed in the second adjacent region, determining second detection coordinates indicating a position of the user operation in the input coordinate system; a position judging section for judging whether the second detection coordinates having been determined by the detection position determining section match the first detection coordinates having been received by the receiving section or whether the second detection coordinates is present in a predetermined range where the second detection coordinates are deemed to match the first detection coordinates; and an input judging section for, in a case where the position judging section has judged that the second detection coordinates match the first detection coordinates or that the second detection coordinates are present in the predetermined range, judging the second detection coordinates as being the input of the continuous track. - View Dependent Claims (4)

6. A display device capable of displaying an image related to an image displayed on a counterpart device, the display device comprising:
-
a determining section for determining a position of the counterpart device in relation to the display device at an occurrence of contact of the counterpart device with the display device or approach thereof to the display device; an image control section for generating, according to the position of the counterpart device which position has been determined by the determining section, a first image to be displayed on a display screen of the display device and generating image generation information required for the counterpart device to generate, according to the position of the counterpart device, a second image, related to the first image, to be displayed on a display screen of the counterpart device; and transmitting section for transmitting, to the counterpart device, the image generation information having been generated by the image control section. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
