Graphic pattern inputting apparatus
First Claim
1. A graphic pattern inputting apparatus comprising:
- manually actuable inputting means mounted for movement parallel to a selected plane for producing sensor signals representative of the direction and magnitude of a manual force, parallel to the plane, applied to said inputting means;
drive means connected to said inputting means and responsive to control signals for moving said inputting means parallel to the selected plane; and
processing means connected between said inputting means and said drive means for performing arithmetic operations on said sensor signals for producing control signals which are a function of said sensor signals, and for supplying said control signals to said drive means.

Abstract
A graphic pattern inputting apparatus composed of: a manually actuable inputting device mounted for movement parallel to a selected plane for producing sensor signals representative of the direction, parallel to the plane, and magnitude of manual force applied to the inputting device; a drive device operatively associated with the inputting device and responsive to control signals for moving the inputting device parallel to the selected plane; and a processing unit connected between the inputting device and the drive device for performing arithmetic operations on the sensor signals for producing control signals which are a function of the sensor signals, and for supplying the control signals to the drive device.
