  • Publication number: 20130009907
    Abstract: A stylus comprising a magnetic field source when combined with a touch sensor provides for several input modes for an electronic device. Magnetometers in the electronic device may detect the presence, location, orientation, and angle of the magnet and thus the stylus. Presence of the magnetic field in conjunction with touches on the force sensitive touch sensor provides additional comparisons to distinguish whether a touch is from a human hand, a particular portion of a stylus, or other object.
