  • Multi-purpose stylus antenna
    Patent number: 8922527
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses of a multi-purpose stylus antenna are described. One device includes a processing device comprising a switch, an antenna circuit, and a capacitance sensor. The switch is configured to couple a conductive element between the antenna circuit and the capacitance sensor. The processing device is configured to communicate data to or from a stylus when the switch is coupled to the antenna circuit and to measure capacitance associated with the conductive element when the switch is coupled to the capacitance sensor.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 30, 2014
    Assignee: Cypress Semiconductor Corporation
    Inventors: Andriy Ryshtun, Jeffrey M. Boschee
  • Active stylus to host data transmitting method
    Patent number: 8797301
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods of active stylus to host device data transmitting. One method receives, at a stylus, an indication that a host device is performing a first coordinate scan to determine coordinates of the stylus proximate to a capacitive sense array of the host device. While the host device is performing the first coordinate scan, the stylus transmits at least two bits of stylus data to the host device.
