828 results about "Stylus" patented technology

In computing, a stylus (or stylus pen) is a small pen-shaped instrument that is used to input commands to a computer screen, mobile device or graphics tablet. With touchscreen devices, a user places a stylus on the surface of the screen to draw or make selections by tapping the stylus on the screen. In this manner, the stylus can be used instead of a mouse or trackpad as a pointing device, a technique commonly called pen computing.

Marker writing system

Embodiments of the invention provide a pen-stylus that comprises a first antenna having a hemispherical shape at a proximal end of the pen-stylus where the pen-stylus engages with a display of a tablet device. The pen-stylus also includes a second antenna, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna communicate with the tablet device to enable a pen-stylus user to draw on the display of the tablet device. The pen-stylus additionally includes an insulating material between the first antenna and the second antenna that prevents interference between the first antenna and the second antenna. In some embodiments, the first antenna and the insulating material reside in a marker tip attached to the pen-stylus, the marker tip transmits axial forces received by engagement of the pen-stylus with the display on the tablet to a force sensor. The pen-stylus further includes a force sensor that converts axial forces received from the marker tip into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal to the tablet by at least one of the first antenna and the second antenna.

Advanced paper emulation

Embodiments of the invention provide an active pen-stylus that emulates a paper feeling for users of the active pen-stylus. The active pen-stylus comprises a writing shaft that receives physical forces arising from use of the pen-stylus by a user. The active pen-stylus also includes a force sensor that receives forces from the writing shaft, the force sensor configured to convert received forces into an electronic signal. A writing spring receives forces from the force sensor and reflects back to the user a reactionary force that emulates a paper feeling. The writing spring compresses and undergoes geometric deflection in creating the reactionary force that emulates the paper feeling. The geometric deflection produced by the writing spring arises from deformation of the writing spring by the received forces.
