  • Patent number: 10359865
    Abstract: A stylus outputs an output value PO corresponding to a force Forg applied to a core body of the stylus, and includes an MCU. The MCU sets profile data representing a correspondence relation between a primary pen pressure value P1 and the output value PO based on a characteristic f1 of a pen pressure detecting portion PD of the stylus. The profile data broadly or indirectly defines a relation h between the force Forg and the output value PO. The MCU repeatedly obtains the primary pen pressure value P1 corresponding to the force Forg from the pen pressure detecting portion PD. The MCU, each time the primary pen pressure value P1 is obtained, obtains the output value PO from the primary pen pressure value P1 based on the profile data and outputs the output value PO. The stylus allows for decoupling (isolating) the configuration of the pen pressure detecting portion PD from the output value PO outputted from the stylus.

  • Publication number: 20180024658
    Abstract: A method of using an active stylus and a sensor controller is provided including generally four steps. The active stylus, in response to a trigger indicative of a pen lowering operation, sends refill body information indicating a type of a refill body that forms a pen tip of the active stylus. The sensor controller receives the refill body information and identifies the refill body type of the active stylus. The active stylus repeatedly sends a data signal including a pen pressure value applied to the refill body. The sensor controller derives a position of the active stylus based on the data signal using a position deriving method that corresponds to the refill body information.
