    摘要: A pen computer (1) includes an elongated pen barrel (10) having a writing end provided with a rotatable ball bearing (15) that serves as a ballpoint writing tip (16). The pen barrel (10) is adapted to be held on one hand for forming characters on a writing surface via the ball bearing (15). First and second encoding assemblies (2, 2') are mounted on the writing end of the pen barrel (10), encode movement of the ball bearing (15) along X and Y directions, and generate X-axis and Y-axis drive signals corresponding to encoded movement of the ball bearing (15) along the X and Y directions. A processor (33) is configured to operate as a character recognition unit (331) . The processor (33) is disposed in the pen barrel (10), and is connected electrically to the first and second encoding assemblies (2, 2') to receive the X-axis and Y-axis drive signals therefrom. The processor (33) identifies the characters formed on the writing surface via the ball bearing (15) from the X-axis and Y-axis drive signals, and generates computer codes that are assigned to the characters identified thereby.

    摘要: A pen-type computer input device is used to move a cursor on the display of a computer system or enter data such as of figures, letters, numerals, or the like into a computer system. The pen-type computer input device includes a shank (5), a ball (7) rotatably supported on the tip (6) end of the shank, the ball having a plurality of identifiable regions (8,9) on an outer peripheral surface thereof, and a cir­cuit including a sensor unit for detecting the identifiable regions in response to rotation of the ball, and for detect­ing the directions in which the ball rotates and the dis­tances by which the ball moves two perpendicular directions in a plane, and producing an output signal representative of the directions and distances. Since the sensor unit can detect the distance by which the pen-type computer input device moves without any mechanical motion transmitting mechanism incorporated in the shank, the pen-type computer input device may be small in size and can be handled with ease.

    摘要: @ A linear measurement apparatus is in the form of a highly portable and manipulable hand-held pen which can be linked by an interface to a computer running a spreadsheet program. The pen comprises a sensing tip in the form of a ball (4), at one end of a rotary shaft (5), running along the axis of the pen. The shaft (5) may be driven in rotation, its rotation being detected by a sensor (11, 12, 13) which can provide a count indicative of the amount of rotation of the ball (4) and thus of the length of a line the ball (4) traverses. The line length can be entered in the spreadsheet.

    摘要: A handheld stylus for use with a display device may include a handheld body, a tip movably coupled to the body, and at least one capacitive sensor configured to detect movements of the tip relative to the body. The at least one capacitive sensor may comprise at least one first conductive element secured to or integral with the body, and at least one second conductive element secured to or integral with the movable tip. The tip may be arranged such that the at least one first conductive element and the at least one second conductive element are spaced apart from each other. The at least one capacitive sensor may be configured to detect changes in respective distances between the at least one first conductive element and the at least one second conductive element caused by movements of the tip relative to the body.
