INPUT DEVICE WRITING SURFACE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An input device comprising:
- a connection portion configured to form a communicative and physical coupling to a computing device sufficient to secure the input device to the computing device; and
an input portion having a writing surface configured to perform a change in optical states that is viewable by the user, the change in the optical states performable without use of electronic computation.

Abstract
Input device writing surface techniques are described. In one or more implementations, an input device includes a connection portion configured to form a communicative and physical coupling to a computing device sufficient to secure the input device to the computing device. The input device also includes an input portion having a writing surface configured to perform a change in optical states that is viewable by the user, the change in the optical states performable without use of electronic computation.

15. A system comprising:
-
a computing device having a display device that supports touch functionality sufficient to detect one or more gestures; and an input device removably coupled both physically and communicatively to the computing device, the input device having a writing surface configured to perform a change in optical states that is viewable by the user, the change in the optical states performable without consuming electricity. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)

18. An apparatus comprising:
-
a connection portion configured to form a communicative and magnetic coupling to a computing device, the magnetic coupling sufficient to secure the input device to the computing device; and an input portion having a writing surface configured to; perform a change in optical states that is viewable by the user, the change in the optical states performable by a display state change material responsive to application of mechanical pressure by a stylus; and communicate data describing the application of the mechanical pressure via the connection portion to the computing device, the data output by one or more sensors disposed on an opposing side of the display state change material with respect to a side that received the application of the mechanical pressure. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
