Multi-Function Stylus Keys for Handwriting and Remote Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing laser pointers and styluses fail to provide effective remote control operations on electronic devices, especially when projecting to large screens or using non-Windows/MAC operating systems, and lack versatility in controlling both handwriting and remote functions.
Innovation Solution
A stylus with physical keys for remote control operations, including a processing module and wireless transmission module, allowing for various press types to execute different control operations, and a displacement sensor for mouse-like functionality, enabling both handwriting and remote control functions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a stylus is designed for handwriting input only, then handwriting input accuracy is improved, but remote control functionality is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The stylus is designed to perform multiple functions: handwriting input through screen contact and remote control operations through physical keys. The processing module identifies whether the stylus is contacting the screen and routes to appropriate functions - handwriting mode when contacting, remote control mode when not contacting, enabling one device to replace multiple input devices
2Adaptability or versatility
If physical keys are added to the stylus for remote control, then remote control capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The physical keys on the stylus are designed to serve dual purposes - they enable remote control functions when the stylus is not contacting the screen, while the overall stylus structure maintains its handwriting capability. The processing module intelligently switches between functions based on screen contact status
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the remote control functionality with the handwriting stylus by integrating physical keys into the stylus body and using a unified processing module that handles both handwriting input events and key press events, merging what would traditionally be separate devices into one integrated tool
3Adaptability or versatility
If the stylus supports multiple operating systems, then system compatibility is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The stylus is designed with universal compatibility across different operating systems including Windows, MAC, and Android. The wireless transmission module and processing module work together to provide consistent functionality regardless of the target operating system, making the stylus adaptable to various platforms without requiring system-specific hardware variants

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a control method, a stylus, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The control method includes: receiving a key press event sent by a stylus; determining a press type according to the key press event; determining a control operation corresponding to the press type; and performing the control operation; where a different press type corresponds to a different control operation. The control method can realize the remote control operation of the electronic device by means of a key on the stylus, and can realize a diversity of control operations by means of the press type of the key, and furthermore, the control operation is not restricted by an operating system and a projection manner, which can enhance the usage experience of the user.
