Apple Stylus is smarter and knows which hand you use

Tencent Digital (Compiled: Human) Approved by US Patent and Trademark Office Passed a New Patent of Apple this Week, This Patent Shows that Apple is Researching a New Input Method of iOS System Through Stylus and Device with Pressure Sensing Technology , Automatically adjust the user interface after automatically identifying the user's left and right hands.

It is reported that the patent applied by Apple is named “Stylus with Touch Sensor”. It recognizes the posture of the user holding the pen by a capacitive touch sensor installed inside the stylus, and then determines which finger of the user. These sensors will send the collected information to the device to adjust the screen's interface.

Under some feedbacks installed around the touch electrodes, single or multi-point gestures are processed by detecting multiple touch times or fingers around the body of the pen, and then the screen objects are manipulated.

For the finger holding pen position can also provide more advanced interactive mode. For example, Apple pointed out that the built-in sensor can detect the user's two or more finger rotation data on the pen, and this information will be applied to the screen object, and automatically in the drawing application or any control based on the system interface Select the size of the brush.

At the same time, the stylus also includes motion gesture detection. For example, when a finger slides up or down in the body of the pen or scrolls, it can be used to perform different control methods. In addition, the stylus also has a force sensor, which allows the user to use the force of the pen to access different interfaces. For example, when the user needs to increase the accuracy of drawing, as long as the intensity of holding the pen, the interface will automatically switch to the zoom state. At the same time, the scale of the finger on the pen body is detected by a built-in accelerometer.

The patent for Apple was filed in December 2014. The patent inventor was Ray L. Chang.
