1. A collapsible electronic stylus comprising:
- multiple panels rotatably attached to each other, the rotatable attachment of the multiple panels forming a loop and enabling the multiple panels to rotate with respect to each other between an open position that maximizes a volume enclosed by the panels and a collapsed position that minimizes the volume enclosed by the panels, each of the multiple panels comprising;
a rectangular portion rotatably attached to the rectangular portions of two other panels of the collapsible electronic stylus; and
a triangular portion that, when the collapsible electronic stylus is in the open position, is in contact with the triangular portions of two other panels of the collapsible electronic stylus;
a processor attached to at least one of the panels, the processor being configured to control a transmitter; and
the transmitter configured to transmit signals to a computing device.

Abstract
A collapsible electronic stylus can include multiple panels, a processor, and a transmitter. The multiple panels can be rotatably attached to each other, the rotatable attachment of the multiple panels forming a loop and enabling the multiple panels to rotate with respect to each other between an open position that maximizes a volume enclosed by the panels and a collapsed position that minimizes the volume enclosed by the panels. The processor can be attached to at least one of the panels, the processor being configured to control a transmitter. The transmitter can be configured to transmit signals to a computing device.

15. A collapsible electronic stylus comprising:
-
a shell portion, the shell portion comprising a crystalline plane forming a mesh and being configured to respond to pressure by transitioning from a first position in which the shell is biased toward a cylindrical shape to a second position in which the shell is biased toward a flat shape with opposite sides of the shell portion in contact with each other; a processor attached to the shell portion, the processor being configured to control a transmitter; and the transmitter configured to transmit signals to a computing device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)

19. A collapsible electronic stylus comprising:
-
multiple side panels rotatably attached to each other to form a loop, the rotatable attachment of the multiple panels enabling the multiple panels to rotate with respect to each other between an open position that maximizes a volume enclosed by the panels and a collapsed position that minimizes the volume enclosed by the panels; an end panel rotatably attached to one of the side panels, the end panel being configured to rotate into a position in contact with all of the multiple side panels when the collapsible electronic stylus is in the open position; a processor attached to at least one of the panels, the processor being configured to control a transmitter; and the transmitter configured to transmit signals to a computing device.
