Abstract

The present invention relates to an information processing system using a coordinate detection device and displays, and more specifically to an input-display integrated information processing system which allows the displays to be carried like paper and to be freely laid out and stacked together on a desk (coordinate input device). The system includes a layout determining unit for determining a layout of the display on said coordinate detection device , wherein the layout determing unit further comprises a display position coordinate detector that detects where in the coordinate space of the coordinate detection device the display for displaying an information is located , and a coordinate converter that converts the information into display coordinates. The layout detremination is done by using markers attached to three of the four corners of the display.
