Abstract:
An instruction reception apparatus includes: a charge accumulation unit that includes a first capacitor in which a pair of electrodes are disposed to face each other under an instruction reception surface, a resistor that is disposed to correspond to the pair of electrodes under the instruction reception surface and has a resistance value between the pair of electrodes that is changed as the instruction reception surface is pressed, and a second capacitor that is connected to the first capacitor; a measurement unit that measures a physical quantity corresponding to the amount of electric charges of the second capacitor; and an output unit that selectively outputs a contact state signal indicating a contact state, a non-contact state signal indicating a non-contact state, and a pressing state signal indicating a pressing state where the indicator presses against the instruction reception surface, in accordance with the physical quantity measured.

Claim (Index 12):
A signal processing method comprising:\n measuring a physical quantity corresponding to the amount of electric charges of a second capacitor included in an instruction reception apparatus including an instruction reception surface that receives an instruction, and a charge accumulation unit that includes a first capacitor in which a pair of electrodes are disposed to face each other under the instruction reception surface, a resistor that is disposed to correspond to the pair of electrodes under the instruction reception surface and has a resistance value between the pair of electrodes that is changed as the instruction reception surface is pressed, and the second capacitor that is connected to the first capacitor, outputting the contact state signal in a case where an in-contact physical quantity that is set in advance as a physical quantity corresponding to the amount of electric charges indicating a contact state where an indicator is in contact with the instruction reception surface is measured, outputting the non-contact state signal in a case where an in-non-contact physical quantity that is set in advance as a physical quantity corresponding to the amount of electric charges indicating a non-contact state where the indicator is in contact with the instruction reception surface is measured, outputting the pressing state signal in a case where an in-pressing physical quantity that is set in advance as a physical quantity corresponding to the amount of electric charges indicating a pressing state where the indicator presses against the instruction reception surface is measured, the in-non-contact physical quantity being larger than the in-contact physical quantity, and the in-pressing physical quantity being larger than the in-non-contact physical quantity, and in a case where the physical quantity that exceeds the in-contact physical quantity and is smaller than the in-pressing physical quantity is measured, selectively outputting the contact state signal and the non-contact state signal in accordance with a change in the physical quantity measured.
