Abstract

A stylus processing method, comprising: receiving beacon signals via a tip electrode of a stylus; and during an i-th time slot of an j-th time period after the beacon signals are received, transmitting an j-th electrical signals via the tip electrode, where 1<=j<=M, M is a positive integer equals to or larger than 2, j is a positive integer and i is a positive integer.

Claims (34)

1. A stylus processing method, comprising:

receiving beacon signals via a tip electrode of a stylus; and

during an i-th time slot of an j-th time period after the beacon signals are received, transmitting an j-th electrical signals via the tip electrode,

where 1<=j<=M, M is a positive integer equals to or larger than 2, j is a positive integer and i is a positive integer which is set through a man-machine interface by a user of the stylus.

2. The stylus processing method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein time lengths of the transmitting of the first electrical signals through the M-th electrical signals are the same.

3. The stylus processing method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises transmitting electrical signals via a ring electrode of the stylus, wherein the ring electrode is placed around the tip electrode and is insulated from the tip electrode.

4. A stylus processing method, comprising:

receiving beacon signals via a tip electrode of a stylus;

during an i-th time slot of an indicating time period after the beacon signals are received, transmitting an existence signal via the tip electrode; and

during an i-th time period after the beacon signals are received, transmitting electrical signals via the tip electrode, where i is an positive integer which is set through a man-machine interface by a user of the stylus.

5. The stylus processing method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein time length of the receiving of existence signals is shorter than time length of the receiving of electrical signals.

6. The stylus processing method as claimed in claim 4 , further comprises transmitting electrical signals via a ring electrode of the stylus, wherein the ring electrode is placed around the tip electrode and is insulated from the tip electrode.

7. A stylus, comprising:

a man-machine interface;

a tip electrode;

a receiving circuit, coupled to the tip electrode for receiving beacon signals;

a transmitting circuit, coupled to the tip electrode for transmitting electrical signal; and

a processor, coupled to the receiving circuit and the transmitting circuit, configured for executing instructions stored in non-volatile memory for realizing following steps:

receiving beacon signals via a tip electrode of the stylus; and

during an i-th time slot of an j-th time period after the beacon signals are received, transmitting an j-th electrical signals via the tip electrode,

where 1<=j<=M, M is a positive integer equals to or larger than 2, j is a positive integer and i is a positive integer which is set through the man-machine interface by a user of the stylus.

8. The stylus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein time lengths of the transmitting of the first electrical signals through the M-th electrical signals are the same.

9. The stylus as claimed in claim 7 , further comprises a ring electrode is placed around the tip electrode and is insulated from the tip electrode, wherein the transmitting circuit further transmits electrical signals via the ring electrode.

10. A stylus, comprising:

a man-machine interface;

a tip electrode;

a receiving circuit, coupled to the tip electrode for receiving beacon signals;

a transmitting circuit, coupled to the tip electrode for transmitting electrical signal; and

a processor, coupled to the receiving circuit and the transmitting circuit, configured for executing instructions stored in non-volatile memory for realizing following steps:

receiving beacon signals via a tip electrode of the stylus;

during an i-th time slot of an indicating time period after the beacon signals are received, transmitting an existence signal via the tip electrode; and

during an i-th time period after the beacon signals are received, transmitting electrical signals via the tip electrode, where i is a positive integer which is set through the man-machine interface by a user of the stylus.

11. The stylus as claimed in claim 10 , wherein time length of the receiving of existence signals is shorter than time length of the receiving of electrical signals.

12. The stylus as claimed in claim 10 , further comprises a ring electrode is placed around the tip electrode and is insulated from the tip electrode, wherein the transmitting circuit further transmits electrical signals via the ring electrode.
