POSITION INDICATOR AND INPUT SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18625036 titled 'POSITION INDICATOR AND INPUT SYSTEM
The patent application describes a position indicator used with a position detection device, comprising a first function module and a second function module.
- The first function module includes a core body that contacts an input surface for position detection and a position detection signal transmission circuit that transmits a position detection signal to the sensor.
- The second function module includes a circuit that generates characteristic selection information related to the core body or input surface and transmits it, or a circuit that generates a stimulus based on the information for the user to perceive audibly or tactily.
Potential Applications: - Position tracking in virtual reality systems - Interactive whiteboards for education or presentations - Gaming controllers with enhanced feedback mechanisms
Problems Solved: - Improved accuracy in position detection - Enhanced user experience through tactile or auditory feedback
Benefits: - Increased precision in input control - Enhanced user engagement and immersion - Versatile applications in various industries
Commercial Applications: "Enhanced Position Indicator for Interactive Systems: Revolutionizing User Experience in Virtual Reality, Education, and Gaming"
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing studies on haptic feedback systems in interactive devices
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the position indicator improve user interaction in virtual reality environments? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in educational settings?
Original Abstract Submitted
A position indicator that is used with a position detection device including a position detection sensor, the position indicator including a first function module and a second function module. The first function module includes a core body that, in operation, is brought into contact with an input surface for position detection in the position detection sensor, and a position detection signal transmission circuit, in operation, that transmits a position detection signal to the position detection sensor. The second function module includes a first function circuit that, in operation, generates characteristic selection information corresponding to a characteristic of the core body or a characteristic of the input surface and transmits the characteristic selection information, or a second function circuit that, in operation, generates a stimulus corresponding to the characteristic selection information such that a user who is holding the position indicator audibly or tactilely perceives the stimulus.
