Sensor coil pattern and the coordinate input apparatus thereof
First Claim
1. A sensor surface for use with a coordinate input apparatus, comprising:
- a) a plurality of sensor coils arranged on said sensor surface in parallel with each other in a position detecting direction, a predetermined number of sensor coils from said plurality of sensor coils being selected and connected with each other; and
b) at least one of said plurality of sensor coils counted from one end of the arrangement for being individually connected to a switch for transmission of delivered or received signals to said plurality of sensor coils such that said at least one is not connected to any other sensor coils, whereby the received signals on said at least one will not adversely influence any of the other sensor coils when the received signals are subjected to adverse influence.

Abstract
A sensor coil pattern used in combination with a coordinate input apparatus is provided, which is adapted to exactly detecting positions if a noise source such as an converter or an electrically closed conductor exists in the periphery of the apparatus. The apparatus is provided with a sensor surface having a sensor coil pattern of many sensor coils arranged thereon in parallel with each other in position detecting directions, a position indicator, a coil or a resonance circuit incorporated therein and a switching means so connected as to select simultaneously one of a plurality of a sensor coils, wherein said many sensor coils include a predetermined number of sensor coils individually connected to the switching means, said predetermined number of sensor coils including at least one or a plurality of sensor coils counted from one end of the arrangement.
