ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING STYLUS PEN AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18457586 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING STYLUS PEN AND OPERATION METHOD THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a stylus pen and a pen housing. The stylus pen has a communication module and a control circuit that can activate or deactivate the communication module. The pen housing has a second communication module and is designed to hold at least a portion of the stylus pen inside it. When the stylus pen is arranged inside the pen housing, the control circuit deactivates the first communication module and activates the second communication module.

  • The device includes a stylus pen with a communication module and a control circuit.
  • The pen housing has a second communication module and can hold a portion of the stylus pen.
  • The control circuit can deactivate the first communication module and activate the second communication module when the stylus pen is inside the pen housing.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Touchscreen devices: The stylus pen can be used for precise input on touchscreen devices such as smartphones, tablets, and digital drawing tablets.
  • Note-taking: The device can be used for digital note-taking, allowing users to write or draw on a screen while the pen housing provides additional functionality or connectivity.
  • Digital art and design: Artists and designers can use the stylus pen and pen housing combination for creating digital artwork or designs with enhanced communication capabilities.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Convenience: The device provides a compact and integrated solution for storing and using a stylus pen, eliminating the need for separate storage or carrying cases.
  • Communication flexibility: The ability to activate or deactivate different communication modules allows users to switch between different modes or connectivity options based on their needs.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced functionality: The device combines the functionality of a stylus pen with additional communication capabilities, providing users with a versatile tool for various tasks.
  • Space-saving: The integration of the stylus pen and pen housing into a single device saves space and reduces clutter.
  • Improved user experience: The ability to switch between different communication modules based on the pen's arrangement inside the housing enhances user convenience and flexibility.
