Abstract
The invention concerns digitizing tablets in portable computers, wherein position of a stylus, located on the tablet, is computed. The invention corrects for various errors which creep into the computation, in order to produce a more accurate stylus position. The digitizing tablet has multiple sensors used to determine the stylus' position with respect to the digitizing tablet. Error signals are generated by measuring the sensors outputs when the stylus is not inducing a signal into the digitizing tablet. In one embodiment, these error signals are used to modify certain parameters used in calculating the stylus position.
