Touch System Dynamic Ink Spacing Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional touch systems cannot effectively insert new content between existing ink objects during writing, limiting the ability to correct writing errors or add new elements in digital writing and drawing applications.
Innovation Solution
A touch system and method that uses a stylus device to emit a hover signal, allowing a processing circuit in the touch device to detect the signal's location between ink objects and adjust the spacing between them based on hover data, enabling the insertion of new ink objects by increasing the junction area size.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional touch systems are used for writing, then writing can be performed on touch panels, but the ability to insert new content between existing ink objects is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the junction area size between ink objects based on hover detection. When the stylus hovers between ink objects, the junction area is expanded to accommodate new content insertion, and returns to normal when hovering stops. This dynamic adaptation enables content insertion while maintaining simple writing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The junction area serves as an intermediary space between ink objects. By detecting hover signals in these junction areas and expanding them, the system creates a mediator zone that facilitates new content insertion without disrupting existing ink objects, resolving the contradiction between insertion capability and operational simplicity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the spacing between ink objects is increased to allow insertion, then new ink objects can be inserted, but the original spacing and layout are changed
Solution Approach 1:
The junction area size is made dynamic rather than static. It expands only when needed (when hover is detected) and returns to its original size when hovering stops. This temporary, conditional expansion allows insertion while preserving the original layout stability for normal writing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary expansion of the junction area before actual insertion occurs. By detecting hover signals in advance and expanding the junction area proactively, the system prepares the space for insertion while maintaining the original layout until the expansion is triggered, thus balancing adaptability with layout stability.

AI summary
A touch system and a touch method for adjusting a spacing between ink objects and a computer-readable medium are provided. The touch system includes a stylus device and a touch device. The stylus device is configured to emit a hover signal. The touch device includes a touch panel and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is coupled to the touch panel to detect and determine whether the hover signal is located in at least one junction area between the ink objects on the touch panel. When the hover signal is located in the junction area between two adjacent ink objects in the ink objects, the processing circuit obtains hover data of the stylus device and adjusts a size of the junction area between the two adjacent ink objects according to the hover data.
