Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de saisie destiné à détecter la saisie par rapport à un plan de référence. Le dispositif de saisie comprend un ou plusieurs capteurs de lumière positionnés de manière à capter la lumière au niveau d'un angle aigu par rapport au plan de référence et afin de produire un signal indicatif de la lumière captée, ainsi qu'un circuit répondant à ce capteur de lumière afin de déterminer une position d'un objet par rapport au plan de référence.The invention relates to an input device for detecting input relative to a reference plane. The capture device comprises one or more light sensors positioned so as to pick up the light at an acute angle with respect to the reference plane and in order to produce a signal indicative of the light received, as well as a circuit responding to this light sensor in order to determine a position of an object relative to the reference plane.
