Gör Apple verklighet av sin patentansökan så kan du kanske snart kan rita på din Trackpad med din Apple Pencil.
Nu ska understrykas att bara en mindre del av av allt det Apple söker patent på resulterar i verkliga produkter. I det här fallet handlar det om en koppling mellan Apples Trackpad och Apple Pencil. Tanken är att du ska kunna rita på din Trackpad – och det du ritar överförs till datorn.
A stylus may have an elongated body with opposing first and second ends. Electronic equipment may have a touch sensor that receives electromagnetic signals from one or more electrodes at the first end. The stylus may have a six-axis inertial sensor at the second end. Force sensors may be located at the first and second ends. User input from the force sensors, the inertial sensor, and other input-output devices may be used to supply the stylus with mode change commands. In response to the mode change commands the stylus may transition between operating modes such as a touch sensor mode and one or more inertial sensor modes. Inertial sensor data may be used to allow the stylus to operate as a joystick, a rotational controller, an air mouse, or other input devices in addition to serving as a touch sensor input device.
Ursprungligen så lämnades den här ansökan in 2014 men den har nu kompletterats med fler detaljer rörande kopplingen till Apple Pencil.
