Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tablet device that sends two-dimensional coordinate values to a computer, and relates to a method for inputting three-dimensional coordinate values that is easy to program and that inputs three-dimensional coordinate values to a computer by operation.

Conventionally, when inputting three-dimensional coordinate values into a computer, the two-dimensional coordinate values of the pressed point are input by pressing a stylus ben such as an electrostatic pen or electromagnetic pen for two-dimensional position detection on a tablet. Since the height coordinate values are input separately into the computer from an input device, the program becomes complicated and the operation becomes complicated.

A conventional example will be explained according to the drawings. Figure 1A is a simple example.
, 2, 3, and 4, where 1 and 2 are at a height of 10, and 3 and 4 are at a height of 50. B shows commands and procedures for inputting the example shown in A into a computer. Figure 1B
To explain using the example, first, D shown in step A as the height coordinate value
Input EPTHloo from the input device. Next, 1 and 2 are line segments and have the same height, so input the LINE shown in the procedure port from the input device, and use the stylus Ben to input 1 and 2 on the tablet.
Press the point corresponding to 2. Next, since the heights are different, input DEPTH50 shown in step C from the input device. Next, since the point at this height is 3, as shown in step 2, input POINT from the input device and press the point corresponding to 3 on the tablet with the stylus bene. Since points 2 and 3 are connected, input CONNECT shown in step E from the input device.

Next, use the stylus to press points 2 and 3 on the tablet. Next, since 3 and 4 are line segments of the same height, enter LmE shown in the procedure from the input device and press the points corresponding to 3 and 4 on the tablet with the stylus stylus. Such commands and procedures are necessary, and the corresponding 4
A different kind of program is required. As an input device, a menu hit with a numeric keypad on a tablet, a keyboard, etc. are used in both cases and in the case of the present invention. An object of the present invention is to provide a tablet device with a storage register for height coordinate values, and to attach a metal rod for setting the height coordinate value to a stylus stylus, and to operate the register to simultaneously store three-dimensional coordinate values in an electronic computer. To provide a method for inputting three-dimensional coordinate values into an electronic computer that is easy to program and operate by inputting them. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a tablet device that sends two-dimensional coordinate values to a computer, in which the tablet device is provided with a storage register for height coordinate values, and a nail for setting this is attached to a stylus ben. The three-dimensional coordinate value can be obtained by operating the Dashboard 0, inputting the height coordinate value using a separately provided input device, storing it in the memory register, and pressing the stylus ben against the desired location on the tablet device. This is an input method for three-dimensional coordinate values, which is characterized by simultaneously inputting the three-dimensional coordinate values into an electronic computer. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1C shows commands and procedures of an embodiment of the present invention when inputting the example shown in FIG. 1A to an electronic computer. FIG. 2 shows a flow chart for the present invention. In the case of the present invention, a Z coordinate register is provided to store the height coordinate value, and a mode selection button is provided on the stylus ben, which is turned on.
When a height coordinate value is input from an input device, the coordinate is stored in the Z coordinate register, the button is turned off, and the stylus ben is pressed against the desired two-dimensional coordinate position, thereby simultaneously inputting the corresponding two-dimensional coordinate. The height coordinate value stored in the Z coordinate register is sent to the computer.

In the example of Fig. 1A, 1, 2, 3, and 4 are connected by line segments, so in the case of the present invention, input LmE from the input device and press the button on the stylus Ben as shown in step A of Fig. 1c. Turn it on, input the height coordinate value 100 from the input device, and turn off the gold 0 on the stylus ben.

Next, press the stylus Ben on the points corresponding to 1 and 2 on the tablet. As a result, the three-dimensional coordinate values 1 and 2 are input to the electronic computer. Next, since the heights are different, turn on the stylus bene button, input the height coordinate value 50 from the input device, and turn off the stylus bene button. Next, press the stylus Ben on the points corresponding to 3 and 4 on the tablet. This allows three-dimensional coordinate values to be input. Since LINE is input first, the figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 shown in Figure 1A, which are connected by line segments and have different heights, are input into the computer. Next, this flow will be explained with reference to FIG. Turn on the stylus ben and enter the height, ie the Z coordinate value, from the input device.
The input numerical values are added by an adder to obtain a Z coordinate value, and the Z coordinate value is stored in the register. Next, turn off the button and press the desired point on the tablet with the stylus to display the
, Z are sent to an electronic computer. As described above, according to the present invention, three-dimensional coordinate values can be input into a computer with easy programming and operation. According to the present invention, the three-dimensional coordinate values of a target point can be simultaneously input into a computer with a simple operation, so that the program is simple and the operation is simple.
