Abstract
A system and method of measuring the position of a stylus relative to a computer information display device. The position is used to generate coordinates for the purpose of interacting with the computer. Applications may include pointing to icons on the display, picking menu items, editing of computer generated images, and feedback for input of hand drawn characters and graphics. The system uses the electrodes of the display device as part of the positioning circuit.
