Title input device and its method

PURPOSE:To allow the user to draw a title freely by storing position data to a detected index position, adjusting a video signal from the image pickup means and index position data and displaying the adjusted signal onto a display device. CONSTITUTION:An image pickup means 5 is used to pick up an image of a title input person 1 and an index means 3. An index detection means 13 detects the presence of the means 3 based on an image pickup signal S5 from the means 5. The signal S5 is inputted to a video display means 9 via a signal adjustment means 7, and the picked-up picture is displayed on the means 9. An index position detection means 15 detects the position in response to a detection signal S13 detected by the means 13. An index storage/read control means 17 uses the means 15 to combine the motion of the index means 3 and preceding data of the motion from the means 3 stored in the storage means 19 and stores the result to the means 19 as a consecutive locus. The means 17 outputs the locus data in the means 19 to the means 7 in response to the display request from the user and combines the signal 5 and the locus data to display the locus of the title to the means 9.
