Abstract

A capacitive stylus, as an inputting device of a touch sensitive device, comprises a control circuit for emitting signals to the touch sensitive device, a power for providing electricity to the control circuit, two charging rings electrically connecting to the power, and a first magnetic member having a first magnetic pole and a magnetic second pole. The touch sensitive device comprises a recess for placing the capacitive stylus, two charging pads arranged within the recess for connecting with the two charging rings, a charging circuit for charging the power of the capacitive stylus via the two charging pads, and a second magnetic member having a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member assure the charging operation can be correctly proceeded.

Claims (21)

1. A capacitive stylus and a touch sensitive device, the capacitive stylus usable as an inputting device of the touch sensitive device, the capacitive stylus comprising:

a tip for writing on a screen of the touch sensitive device;

a control circuit for emitting a signal to the touch sensitive device; and

a power providing electricity to the control circuit;

two charging rings electrically connecting with the power; and

a first magnetic member being arranged near to the two charging rings and having a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole; and

the touch sensitive device comprising:

a recess for placing the capacitive stylus;

two charging pads being arranged within the recess for contacting with the two charging rings;

a charging circuit for charging the power of the capacitive stylus via the two charging pads; and

a second magnetic member being arranged near to the two charging pads and having a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole, and wherein the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are used to ensure placement of the capacitive stylus in the recess in a correct direction.

2. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the touch sensitive device is a mobile phone.

3. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the touch sensitive device is a tablet personal computer.

4. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the power is a rechargeable battery.

5. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the power is a supercapacitor.

6. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic member is a magnet.

7. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic member is a magnet.

8. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the two charging pads are two elastic contact fingers.

9. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the first magnetic member is arranged between two charging rings.

10. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the second magnetic member is arranged between two charging pads.

11. The capacitive stylus and the touch sensitive device of claim 1 , wherein the capacitive stylus can be placed into the recess of the touch sensitive device and can be recharged when the first magnetic pole of the first magnetic member is toward the second magnetic pole of the second magnetic member and the second magnetic pole of the first magnetic member is toward the first magnetic pole of the second magnetic member.
