Multi-functional pen and method for using multi-functional pen
A multi-functional pen apparatus and a method for using the multi-functional pen are provided. The method includes switching an operation mode of the multi-functional pen to a pen mode according to a predetermined key input; receiving pen data in the switched pen mode; and transmitting the pen data to a portable terminal, wherein the portable terminal transmits a call based on the transmitted pen data.
1. A method for processing data by a multi-functional pen, the method comprising:
switching an operation mode of the multi-functional pen to a pen mode according to a predetermined key input;
receiving a command, inputted to the multi-functional pen from a user in the pen mode, wherein an input data includes one or more characters, and inputted to a portable terminal;
transmitting the command to the portable terminal,
wherein the portable terminal processes the input data by applying the command to the input data;
if the transmission of the command is completed, ending the pen mode and switching the operation mode of the multi-functional pen to a headset mode; and
in the headset mode, receiving sound data transmitted from the portable terminal and outputting sound based on the sound data via a speaker of the multi-functional pen.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined key input is a key input of a call button included in the multi-functional pen.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the command includes receiving a key input for requesting a call connection by dialing a telephone number if the input data is related to the telephone number.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the command includes receiving gesture, as a first data, for requesting a call connection by dialing a telephone number if the input data is related to the telephone number.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the command includes receiving gesture, as a first data, for requesting a call connection by dialing a telephone number if the input data is related to the telephone number, and
wherein the portable terminal determines the input data as a quick dial number corresponding to the telephone number and makes a call to the telephone number.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, if the transmission of the command is completed, ending the pen mode and switching the operation mode of the multi-functional pen to a headset mode.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
informing, if the portable terminal makes a call corresponding to the input data according to the command, the user that the call is made by the portable terminal.
8. A multi-functional pen for processing data, comprising:
a controller configured to switch an operation mode of the multi-functional pen to a pen mode according to a predetermined key input;
an input sensor configured to receive a command, inputted to the multi-functional pen from a user in the pen mode, wherein an input data includes one or more characters; and
a communication circuit configured to transmit the command to a portable terminal,
wherein the portable terminal processes the input data by applying the command to the input data, and
wherein, the controller is further configured to:
if the transmission of the command is completed, end the pen mode and switch the operation mode of the multi-functional pen to a headset mode, and
control, in the headset mode, the communication circuit to receive sound data transmitted from the portable terminal and output sound based on the sound data via a speaker of the multi-functional pen.
9. The multi-functional pen of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined key input is a key input of a call button included in the multi-functional pen.
10. The multi-functional pen of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to control the communication circuit to receive a key input for requesting a call connection by dialing a telephone number if the input data is related to the telephone number.
11. The multi-functional pen of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to control the input sensor to receive a gesture, as a first data, for requesting a call connection by dialing a telephone number if the input data is related to the telephone number.
12. The multi-functional pen of claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to control the input sensor to receive a gesture, as a first data, for requesting a call connection by dialing a telephone number if the input data is related to the telephone number, and
wherein the portable terminal determines the input data as a quick dial number corresponding to the telephone number and makes a call to the telephone number.
13. The multi-functional pen of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to inform the user that a call is made by the portable terminal if the portable terminal makes the call corresponding to the input data according to the command.
