Benefits of technology

This patent is about a stylus that can be used with a touch electronic device to receive information through a vibration signal. The stylus decodes the vibration to get the transmission information from the device. This technology allows for more intuitive interaction between the stylus and the device.

Problems solved by technology

If the communication protocol supported by the active stylus and the communication protocol supported by the electronic device are inconsistent, a user is unable to perform input operations with use of the stylus.
At present, although some active styluses on the market support multiple communication protocols, the user in an attempt to switch between the communication protocols needs to manually press certain buttons, which brings inconvenience to the user.

Abstract

A stylus, a touch electronic device, and a touch system are provided. The touch electronic device includes a touch panel and a haptic actuation device, and the haptic actuation device is connected to the touch panel. The stylus includes a pressure sensor and a pen tip. The touch electronic device encodes transmission information into a vibration signal, determines a vibration force of the vibration signal with respect to at least one synchronization time point, and controls the haptic actuation device to drive the touch panel to output the vibration signal. The pen tip of the stylus receives the vibration signal, and the pressure sensor senses the vibration force of the vibration signal. The stylus decodes the vibration signal according to the vibration force with respect to the synchronization time point to obtain the transmission information, and the stylus performs a function according to the transmission information.
