Coordinate input device and its controlling method, and program

提供一种坐标输入装置及其控制方法、程序。其中，计算坐标输入笔在用第一至第三轴定义的空间内的位置坐标。作为坐标输出形态，至少有直接输出计算的坐标值的绝对坐标输出形态、以及输出计算的坐标值和规定的坐标值的差分值的相对坐标输出形态，将计算的坐标值的上述第一轴的值与规定值进行比较。另外，判断计算的坐标值的第二轴及第三轴两者的坐标值是否在规定范围内。然后按照根据比较结果及判断结果决定的坐标输出形态，输出计算的坐标值。 Position coordinates in a space defined by the first to third axes of a coordinate input pointing tool are calculated. A coordinate output form includes at least an absolute coordinate output form in which calculated coordinate values are directly output, and a relative coordinate output form in which the differential values between the calculated coordinate values and predetermined coordinate values are output. The value of the first axis of the calculated coordinate values is compared with a predetermined value. It is determined whether the coordinate values of the second and third axes of the calculated coordinate values fall within a predetermined range. The calculated coordinate values are output in a coordinate output form determined on the basis of the comparison result and determination result.
