Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of capacitive pen technology, and more particularly to an active capacitive pen with a color-absorbing function. Background Technology
[0002] Advances in stylus technology have enabled users to draw patterns or write text on the screens of devices such as electronic whiteboards, tablets, mobile phones, graphics tablets, conference machines, and computers using electromagnetic or capacitive touch methods. Furthermore, users can adjust the colors used for drawing or writing according to their needs.
[0003] Currently, when adjusting colors, users typically select the color they want to use from the color indicator area or palette area displayed on the screen. However, this is not very intuitive for users, as each color adjustment requires operation in the palette area or brush color indicator area, thus affecting work efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned above, this invention provides an active capacitive pen with a color-absorbing function.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an active capacitive pen with a color-absorbing function, comprising:
[0006] The pen body has a pen tip at its front end that can emit input signals;
[0007] A color module, located at the rear end of the pen body, is used to detect the color of an object's surface; the color module includes:
[0008] Transparent tail cap;
[0009] The color sensor is located inside the transparent tail cap;
[0010] The circuit board electrically connected to the color sensor;
[0011] The circuit board is equipped with a signal processing module, a format conversion module, and a data transmission module. The signal processing module is used to receive the electrical signal from the color sensor and convert the electrical signal into a digital signal. The format conversion module is used to convert the digital signal into a color value in a standard color format. The data transmission module is used to send the color value to the pairing device.
[0012] Preferably, the standard color format is RGB or CMYK.
[0013] Preferably, the pen body includes a pen barrel and a motherboard bracket, the motherboard bracket is disposed inside the pen barrel, the motherboard bracket is provided with the circuit board, and the pen barrel is provided with a battery for powering the circuit board.
[0014] Preferably, the pen tip is connected to the circuit board via a combined antenna.
[0015] Preferably, the combined antenna includes a first transmitting electrode, a second transmitting electrode, and a shield. The first transmitting electrode and the second transmitting electrode are electrically connected to the circuit board, the second transmitting electrode surrounds the first transmitting electrode, and the shield is located between the first transmitting electrode and the second transmitting electrode. The shield partially covers the first transmitting electrode, leaving both ends of the first transmitting electrode exposed to shield it, and the end of the first transmitting electrode near the pen tip is a certain distance away from the second transmitting electrode.
[0016] Preferably, a first conductive spring is fitted onto the first transmitting electrode, with one end of the first conductive spring connected to the shielding cover and the other end electrically connected to the circuit board.
[0017] Preferably, the second emitting electrode includes an electrode ring, and the second emitting electrode is provided with an external thread, the external thread being located below the electrode ring, and the second emitting electrode being connected to the pen tip through the external thread.
[0018] Preferably, a second conductive spring is fitted onto the second transmitting electrode, with one end of the second conductive spring located on the electrode ring and the other end electrically connected to the circuit board.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] Because this invention incorporates a color sensor, when it is necessary to switch the color used for drawing, the color sensor is directly controlled to collect the color information of the surrounding environment and then sent to the touch drawing board to achieve color switching. This eliminates the need for the pen color indicator area or the color palette area, thus enabling more convenient and faster color switching and improving the efficiency of drawing work.
