ACTIVE STYLUS COMMUNICATION WITH A DIGITIZER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18306229 Titled 'ACTIVE STYLUS COMMUNICATION WITH A DIGITIZER'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for detecting and establishing communication between a handheld device and a touch-enabled device. The method involves checking if the handheld device is near the touch-enabled device and determining their communication capabilities. The handheld device and the touch-enabled device are configured to have compatible communication capabilities. Input from the handheld device is then tracked using an electrostatic communication channel between the two devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes detecting presence of a handheld device in proximity of a touch enabled device and negotiating communication capabilities between the handheld device and a digitizer system of the touch enabled device. At least one of the handheld device and the digitizer system is configured to match a defined communication capability of the other of the at least one of the handheld device and digitizer system. Input from the handheld device is tracked via an electrostatic communication channel between the handheld device and the digitizer system based on the defined communication configuration.
