Abstract:
By forming an infrared light emitting surface  21  on the front side of a display  11 , irradiating the infrared light emitting surface  21  with infrared light, forming a reproduced image R 2  of the infrared light emitting surface  21  at a position of a reproduced image R 1 , and photographing, through an infrared camera  26  provided at the back of the reproduced image R 1 , reflected light from the reproduced image R 2  of the infrared light emitting surface  21  in the case where an indicating means such as a finger indicates the reproduced image R 1 , a position of the indicating means in contact with the reproduced image R 1  becomes detected. An extremely hygienic method and apparatus for contactlessly detecting an indicated position on a reproduced image with which an input without touching a display is enabled can thereby be provided.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for contactlessly detecting an indicated position on a reproduced image, comprising:\n a light control means including a number of first minute reflective surfaces arranged standing on a same plane surface, and a number of second minute reflective surfaces arranged standing on another same plane surface, the first minute reflective surfaces and the second minute reflective surfaces being crossed in planar view, and second reflected light being formed by receiving first reflected light from the respective first minute reflective surfaces on the respective corresponding second minute reflective surfaces; a display provided on one side of the light control means displaying an image that is reproduced through the light control means as a reproduced image R 1  in a space on the other side of the light control means; an infrared light emitting surface disposed on a front side of the display and having an irregular reflection surface for infrared light; an infrared light irradiating means provided at a different position than the infrared light emitting surface, the infrared light irradiating means irradiating infrared light at the infrared light emitting surface which reflects the infrared light through the light control means to form a reproduced image R 2  adjacent a position of the reproduced image R 1 ; and an infrared camera detecting a position of an indicating means in contact with the reproduced image R 1  by receiving reflected light from the reproduced image R 2 , wherein the light control means is arranged at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the display.
