Claims
- 1. A coordinate input apparatus adapted to be connected to an image processing system which has a reader for reading an image recorded on a recording medium, and which edits the read image and outputs editing area information corresponding to the editing, said coordinate input apparatus comprising:
- a coordinate input member, located above the reader, for enabling coordinate input for a document placed under said coordinate input member and for a document placed above said coordinate input member;
- single platewave detecting means, in contact with said coordinate input member, for detecting a propagated platewave generated from a platewave generating means into said coordinate input means directly or via the recording medium;
- display means, united with said coordinate input member, for displaying information of the recording medium; and
- control means for supplying to the image processing system editing instruction information regarding the information displayed by said display means corresponding to coordinates on said coordinate input member whereby designation of the editing instruction information can be executed for a document placed on any one of both faces of said coordinate input member.
- 2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said coordinate input member comprises detecting means for detecting supersonic waves.
- 3. An apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising microprocessor means for producing coordinate information in response to the supersonic waves detected by said detecting means.
- 4. An apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said microprocessor means computes the coordinate information in response to propagation time of the supersonic waves.
- 5. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said coordinate input member comprises microprocessor means for producing coordinate information.
- 6. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said coordinate input member comprises a transparent acrylic plate.
- 7. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said coordinate input member comprises a transparent glass plate.
- 8. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the editing comprises trimming.
- 9. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the editing comprises masking.
- 10. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said single platewave detecting means also detects a writing pressure.
