ACTIVE PEN SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An active pen, comprising:
- a pen chassis including a pen tip;
a power supply system housed in the pen chassis;
a memory system that is housed in the pen chassis and that includes instructions that, when executed by a processing system that is housed in the pen chassis and that is coupled to the pen tip, causes the processing system to provide a wake engine; and
a motion activated device that is coupled between the power supply system and the processing system, wherein the motion activated device is configured, in response to movement of the pen chassis, to couple the power supply system to the processing system such that the wake engine activates the pen tip.

Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) input system includes an IHS having an IHS processor and an IHS display screen coupled to the IHS processor. A pen is configurable to provide an input to the IHS. The pen includes a power supply system, a pen tip, a pen processor coupled to the pen tip, a pen memory that includes instructions that, when executed by the pen processor, causes the pen processor to provide a wake engine, and a motion activated device that is coupled between the power supply system and the pen processor. The motion activated device is configured, in response to movement of the pen, to couple the power supply system to the pen processor such that the wake engine activates the pen tip to configure the pen tip to provide inputs to the IHS processor through the IHS display screen.

8. An information handling system (IHS) input system, comprising:
-
an IHS including; an IHS processor; and an IHS display screen coupled to the IHS processor; a pen that is configurable to provide an input to the IHS, the pen including; a power supply system; a pen tip; a pen processor coupled to the pen tip; a pen memory that includes instructions that, when executed by the pen processor, causes the pen processor to provide a wake engine; and a motion activated device that is coupled between the power supply system and the pen processor, wherein the motion activated device is configured, in response to movement of the pen, to couple the power supply system to the pen processor such that the wake engine activates the pen tip to configure the pen tip to provide inputs to the IHS processor through the IHS display screen. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for providing input to an IHS, comprising:
-
providing a pen including a power supply system, a pen tip, a wake engine that is coupled to the pen tip, and a motion activated device that is coupled between the power supply system and the wake engine; deactivating the pen tip using the wake engine following at least one predetermined time period in which the pen tip is not detected engaging an IHS display screen on an IHS; coupling the power supply system to the wake engine using the motion activated device in response to movement of the pen; and activating the pen tip using the wake engine in response to coupling the power supply to the wake engine, wherein the activating of the pen tip configures the pen tip to provide input to the IHS through the IHS display screen. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
