1. A method for detecting orientation of a stylus with respect to a digitizer sensing surface, the method comprising:
- detecting a signal emitted by a stylus at a plurality of coordinates on a digitizer sensing surface;
determining coordinate of a writing tip of the stylus;
defining at least one feature characterizing an asymmetrical spread of the stylus signal on the digitizer sensing surface with respect to the writing tip coordinate; and
characterizing an orientation of the stylus responsive to the characterization of the asymmetrical spread.

Abstract
A method for detecting orientation of a stylus with respect to a digitizer sensing surface includes detecting a signal emitted by a stylus at a plurality of coordinates on a digitizer sensing surface, determining coordinate of a writing tip of the stylus, defining at least one feature characterizing an asymmetrical spread of the stylus signal on the digitizer sensing surface with respect to the writing tip coordinate, and characterizing an orientation of the stylus responsive to the characterization of the asymmetrical spread.

14. A method for detecting orientation of a stylus with respect to a digitizer sensing surface, the method comprising:
-
tracking orientation of a digitizer sensing surface in three dimensions; tracking orientation of a stylus interacting with the digitizer sensing surface in three dimensions, wherein the orientation of the digitizer sensing surface is tracked concurrently with tracking of the orientation of the stylus; and comparing the orientation of the digitizer sensing surface with the orientation of the stylus; and detecting an orientation of the stylus with respect to the digitizer sensing surface responsive to the comparing. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
