Patent Images
1. An electronic pen for interacting with a substrate having coded data disposed thereon, the pen comprising:
- an image sensor for sensing at least some of the coded data when the pen is used to interact with the surface;
a slidably retractable nib for contacting said surface, said nib being configurable in a retracted position wherein said nib is retracted within a body of said pen and an extended position wherein said nib protrudes from said body;
a processor configured to generate, using at least some of the sensed coded data, indicating data indicative of the interaction with the substrate,wherein said image sensor is configured to sense said coded data only when said nib is configured in said extended position.
