Abstract

The present invention provides a method for controlling the transmitter, comprising: transmitting a first electric signal with a first signal strength if a force sensor of the transmitter does not sense any force; and transmitting a second electric signal with a second signal strength if the force sensor does sense force, wherein the first signal strength is larger than the second signal strength.

Claims (16)

1. A method for controlling the transmitter, comprising:

transmitting a first electric signal with a first signal strength when a force sensor of the transmitter does not sense any force; and

transmitting a second electric signal with a second signal strength when the force sensor does sense force,

wherein the first signal strength is larger than the second signal strength, wherein the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal comprises different frequency groups,

wherein the first electric signal comprises a third frequency and a fourth frequency, wherein a third signal strength of the third frequency equals to a fourth signal strength of the fourth frequency.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the force sensor comprises a tip section of the transmitter.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the transmitter further comprises a ring electrode, the first electric signal is transmitted via the tip section and the ring electrode, the second electric signal is transmitted via the tip section.

4. A transmitter, comprising:

a force sensor; and

a control unit, which is configured to:

transmitting a first electric signal with a first signal strength when a force sensor of the transmitter does not sense any force; and

transmitting a second electric signal with a second signal strength when the force sensor does sense force,

wherein the first signal strength is larger than the second signal strength, wherein the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal comprises different frequency groups,

wherein the first electric signal comprises a third frequency and a fourth frequency, wherein a third signal strength of the third frequency equals to a fourth signal strength of the fourth frequency.

5. The transmitter of claim 4 , wherein the force sensor comprises a tip section of the transmitter.

6. The transmitter of claim 5 , further comprising a ring electrode, the first electric signal is transmitted via the tip section and the ring electrode, the second electric signal is transmitted via the tip section.
