Abstract

The pen-type input device with remote control is to perform the identified configuration wirelessly, and comprise a main body, a cursor controller, a position sensor, an identified unit, an emitter, and a controller including a circuit board and a main processing unit, and the units are installed in the main body which is a hollow tube. Besides, the input device further includes a rechargeable battery.

Claims

1. A pen-type input device with remote control, comprising:

a main body, including a front end cap and a tail end cap;

a cursor controller, set in the main body;

a position sensor, installed in the front end of the main body for detecting vectors of the main body;

an identified unit, adapted to produce identified information needed for operating system;

an emitter, indicating a wireless data transmission unit; and

a controller, including a circuit board and a main processing element, wherein the circuit board configured with electric units of the input device, and the information of the cursor controller, position sensor, and identified unit transformed into output information by the main processing unit.

2. The pen-type input device of claim 1, wherein the electric units, inside the main body, are electrically connected by the circuit board, and the output information of the controller transmitted to the electric device through the emitter.

3. The pen-type input device of claim 1, wherein the identified unit is the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) of the emitter, and proposed to transmit the log in and authentic information to the electric device directly.

4. The pen-type input device of claim 1, wherein the identified unit further comprises a display element for displaying information relative to the identified procedure.

5. The pen-type input device of claim 1, wherein the identified unit further comprises an input element for inputting relative information to produce log in and authentic information.

6. The pen-type input device of claim 1, further comprising a light guide for producing and projecting a visible light beam.

7. The pen-type input device of claim 1, further comprising a battery inside the main body, and electrically connected with the circuit board to deliver power to each electric unit.

8. The pen-type input device of claim 1, further comprising an electronic transmitting unit disposed on the circuit board to charge the battery with external power sources.

9. The pen-type input device of claim 1, wherein the emitter is adapted to transmit information wirelessly by utilizing wireless communication technologies such as infrared ray, Bluetooth or radio frequency.

10. The pen-type input device of claim 1, wherein the position sensor includes a ball covered by rubber materials.

11. The pen-type input device of claim 4, wherein the display element is at least one Light Emitting Diode (LED) to display the situation of identification.

12. The pen-type input device of claim 4, wherein the display element is a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) showing words, graphs or colors to display the situation of identification.

13. The pen-type input device of claim 4, wherein the display element is a buzzer to indicate the situation of identification.

14. The pen-type input device of claim 6, wherein the light guide includes an illuminated element and an illuminated button electrically connected with the circuit board, and pressing/releasing the illuminated button respectively corresponding to the on/off state of the illuminated element.

15. The pen-type input device of claim 7, wherein the battery is a rechargeable battery.

16. The pen-type input device of claim 8, wherein the electronic transmitting unit includes an electronic transmitting interface externally connected with the electrical device to charge the battery.

17. The pen-type input device of claim 14, wherein the illuminated element is disposed on the top of the main body and the illuminated button is disposed on the surface of the main body.

18. The pen-type input device of claim 14, wherein the illuminated element is a laser diode emitting light beam out of the tail end cap.

19. The pen-type input device of claim 16, wherein the electronic transmitting interface is an USB interface and transmit information of the controller to the electrical device.
