[0045] This application provides a control system for a Bluetooth stylus, enhancing the interaction between the stylus and the Android system and providing a better user experience. This application separates functionality from implementation, using a distributed control scheme to expand the Bluetooth stylus's functions, such as adding features like anti-loss reminders, battery level indicators, Bluetooth on / off switching, and floating display of notes in the notebook. This application utilizes a log capture and troubleshooting module, making it easier to identify and locate problems during use, thus enabling targeted optimizations.

[0046] In practical scenarios, the devices implementing this system can be user equipment, network equipment, or a combination of user equipment and network equipment integrated through a network. The user equipment includes, but is not limited to, terminal devices such as smartphones, tablets, and personal computers. The network equipment includes, but is not limited to, network hosts, single network servers, sets of multiple network servers, or cloud-based computer clusters. Here, the cloud consists of a large number of hosts or network servers based on cloud computing. Cloud computing is a type of distributed computing, a virtual computer composed of a loosely coupled set of computers.

[0047] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a control system for a Bluetooth stylus according to an embodiment of this application. The system includes an event listening module 101, an event triggering module 102, a Bluetooth control module 103, a Bluetooth listening module 104, a log capture and fault diagnosis module 105, and a function integration interface module 106.

[0048] The event listening module 101, the event triggering module 102, the Bluetooth control module 103, and the Bluetooth listening module 104 are respectively connected to the log capture and fault diagnosis module 105; the log capture and fault diagnosis module 105 is connected to the function integration interface module 106.

[0049] For example, the communication chip installed in the Bluetooth stylus has communication functions such as Bluetooth and NFC, which enables the Bluetooth stylus to connect with terminal devices such as smartphones and tablets with Android system installed via Bluetooth, and the smartphones and tablets can power the Bluetooth stylus via NFC.

[0050] like Figure 1As shown, the Bluetooth stylus's functionality is integrated into the framework through modules such as the event listening module 101, the event triggering module 102, the Bluetooth control module 103, the Bluetooth listening module 104, the log capture and troubleshooting module 105, and the function integration interface module 106. All events and listeners flow into the troubleshooting module through the function integration interface. This module displays the status of each function through a designated display panel, facilitating the troubleshooting of functional faults and improving system stability.

[0051] The Bluetooth control module 103 and the Bluetooth listening module 104 can handle the interaction between terminal devices such as smartphones and tablets and the Bluetooth stylus; the event listening module 101 and the event triggering module 102 can handle user operations such as clicking, swiping, and pressing buttons on the Bluetooth stylus. In the stylus function-distributed control scheme provided in this application, function integration is reflected in integrating Bluetooth functionality and event handling into a framework, which is not responsible for user interaction; function decoupling is reflected in the discrete calls and callbacks of Android system modules participating in user interaction; thereby enhancing the scalability of the stylus function and facilitating troubleshooting.

[0052] In some embodiments, the events acquired by the event listening module 101 include the battery level, MAC address, attachment event, and button event of the Bluetooth stylus; the user operations on the Bluetooth stylus acquired by the event triggering module 102 include button presses, hovering, and pen tip operations; the Bluetooth control module 103 is used to control the Bluetooth on / off state and receive Bluetooth status callbacks; the Bluetooth listening module 104 is used to listen to the Bluetooth on / off state, connection state, and ranging information; the log capture and troubleshooting module 105 is used to capture logs and troubleshoot faults; the function integration interface module 106 is used to define interfaces for discrete functions, wherein the discrete functions include settings for the Bluetooth stylus, calls to third-party apps, display of the user device interface, and human-computer interaction of the system.

[0053] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, the event monitoring module 101 can obtain the stylus's battery level information. In a specific embodiment, the stylus can obtain power from terminal devices such as smartphones and tablets via magnetic attraction and NFC wireless charging. The event monitoring module 101 can also obtain the stylus's MAC address, stylus attachment events, and pen button triggering events, all of which are routed to the log capture and troubleshooting module 105. The event triggering module 102 can obtain stylus button events, hover events, and pen tip events; stylus button events are divided into single clicks, double clicks, triple clicks, and long presses (e.g., more than 3 seconds); all triggered events are routed to the log capture and troubleshooting module 105. Events triggered by the Bluetooth monitoring module 104 are also routed to the log capture and troubleshooting module 105. The log capture and troubleshooting module 105 can review printed log records and query the fault panel in the settings. The functional integration interface module 106 is used to define interfaces for discrete functions. Its main functions include obtaining Bluetooth status information, stylus battery information, stylus MAC address, stylus attachment status information, stylus button information, and distance measurement information for anti-loss reminders.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the discrete functions include settings for the Bluetooth stylus, access to third-party apps, display of the user device interface, and human-computer interaction. The human-computer interaction mainly includes: displaying the stylus's Bluetooth pairing status, battery level, anti-loss reminder notifications, Bluetooth status display, prompting the user to turn Bluetooth on after it has been turned off, prompting the user to turn Bluetooth on again after it has been turned off, and a notification indicating that double-clicking the stylus button will not respond and will lead to pen settings. The user device interface mainly includes: displaying the application's floating window after receiving a single click of the stylus button, disabling the status of notes, and displaying floating icons. Access to third-party apps mainly includes: controlling PowerPoint presentation page switching; using the camera app to take a photo with one button, switch to video recording with two buttons, and switch to beauty mode with three buttons; controlling the music player to skip to the next track and the video player to skip to the next video. The settings mainly include: controlling the stylus's on / off state, displaying the Log panel (which can determine if the functions are working properly), and accessing the third-party app's settings interface for corresponding settings.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the log capture and troubleshooting module is used to obtain the Bluetooth on / off status information and transmit the Bluetooth on / off status information to the function integration interface module; the function integration interface module prompts the user whether to turn on Bluetooth and displays whether the current Bluetooth is in normal communication status through the system's human-computer interaction.

[0056] For example, the Bluetooth on / off status information is transmitted to the function integration interface module through the log capture and troubleshooting module, and then to the Bluetooth function status display and pairing status display functions implemented in the function interface, thus separating the function status from the display status. Specifically, the Bluetooth on / off status is integrated into the framework, and user interaction is achieved through the system's human-computer interaction (HCI) section. The HCI section uses the framework's Bluetooth status resources (such as the Bluetooth control module) to prompt the user whether to turn Bluetooth on (if Bluetooth is off, it means that the stylus and the corresponding terminal device have disabled Bluetooth communication) and whether Bluetooth is in a normal communication state (such as normal Bluetooth communication or Bluetooth pairing status). The user can see this display through the system's HCI section and can perform operations such as turning Bluetooth on and off based on the prompts.

[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the log capture and troubleshooting module is used to obtain the attachment status information and battery information of the Bluetooth stylus, and transmit the attachment status information and battery information to the function integration interface module; the function integration interface module interacts with the system's human-computer interaction, and when the Bluetooth stylus is attached to the user device, it displays the battery information of the Bluetooth stylus through the user device's interface.

[0058] For example, the stylus's attachment status and battery level information are transmitted to the function integration interface module through the log capture and troubleshooting module. The stylus's battery level can be displayed through human-computer interaction with the system. In this process, the event listening module within the framework is used. Through human-computer interaction with the system, the stylus's battery level is displayed after the user attaches the stylus to the corresponding terminal device (such as a tablet).

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the log capture and troubleshooting module is used to obtain the distance measurement information of the Bluetooth stylus and transmit the distance measurement information to the function integration interface module; the function integration interface module interacts with the system's human-computer interaction, and when the distance between the Bluetooth stylus and the corresponding user device exceeds a predetermined distance threshold, it issues an anti-loss reminder notification.

[0060] For example, a stylus using Bluetooth GATT (Generic Attribute Profile) monitoring connects to a remote Bluetooth device, transmits data, and then converts it into usable distance data using a specific calculation method. This data is then used to invoke the log capture and troubleshooting module and the function integration interface module, enabling a loss prevention alert through the system's human-computer interaction (HCI) component. In this process, the Bluetooth monitoring module within the framework is utilized. Through HCI interaction with the system, when the stylus is detached from the corresponding user device (such as a tablet) and the distance to that device exceeds a predetermined distance threshold, a loss prevention alert is issued to prevent the user from losing the stylus.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the log capture and troubleshooting module is used to obtain the user's single click button operation information for the Bluetooth stylus, and transmit the single click button operation information to the function integration interface module; the function integration interface module displays a pen note floating icon through the corresponding user device interface.

[0062] For example, after a user clicks a button on the stylus, the event triggering module transmits the corresponding button operation information to the log capture and troubleshooting module, and then to the function integration interface module, ultimately realizing the note-taking and sticky note function in the launcher and displaying the stylus sticky note floating icon.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the log capture and troubleshooting module is used to obtain Bluetooth status setting information and transmit the Bluetooth status setting information to the function integration interface module; the function integration interface module determines whether to disable the notepad pen function and display the corresponding input method based on the Bluetooth status setting information.

[0064] For example, by monitoring the Bluetooth status and setting the `val` variable, and utilizing the log capture and troubleshooting module and the function integration interface module, the sticky note function can be remotely invoked to control the input method and disable the stylus. In this process, the Bluetooth control module within the framework is used to control the sticky note function in the launcher. Without a stylus, users can use the input method installed on the Android system to write notes, and those with a stylus can fill in text using it.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the log capture and troubleshooting module is used to obtain the hover event information of the Bluetooth stylus and transmit the hover event information to the function integration interface module; the function integration interface module displays the hover icon through the corresponding user device interface.

[0066] For example, after a stylus hover event is generated, the event triggering module transmits the corresponding hover event information to the log capture and troubleshooting module, and then to the function integration interface module, ultimately displaying the hover icon. By hovering the stylus over screen notes, users can browse and query their note-writing history.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the log capture and troubleshooting module is used to obtain the user's button operation information on the Bluetooth stylus and transmit the button operation information to the function integration interface module; the function integration interface module implements the corresponding preset operation by calling a third-party APP based on the button operation information.

[0068] For example, after a user clicks a button on the stylus, the event triggering module transmits the corresponding button operation information to the log capture and troubleshooting module, and then to the function integration interface module, triggering a system broadcast to realize the corresponding function of the third-party APP; for example, a user clicking the stylus button once or twice can control the next and previous videos in the player and switch between PPT pages.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, if a password is entered through the settings of the Bluetooth stylus, the log capture and troubleshooting module is invoked to obtain the corresponding log information, and the system is judged to have a fault based on the log information.

[0070] For example, through Figure 2 The settings function shown allows you to enter the password *#xx# to call the log capture and troubleshooting module. By obtaining the saved handwriting log, it determines whether the function is fully implemented. After troubleshooting, the settings page is remotely accessed to guide the test steps and determine the log display, thereby achieving the robustness test of the handwriting function.

[0071] In summary, the Bluetooth stylus control system provided in this application enhances the interaction between the stylus and the Android system, offering a better user experience. This application separates functionality from implementation, using a distributed control scheme to expand the Bluetooth stylus's capabilities, such as adding features like anti-loss reminders, battery level indicators, Bluetooth on / off switching, and floating display of notes.
