Multi-mouse actions stylus
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- causing a stylus tip of a mechanical stylus to make one or more contacts with a touch sensitive surface, the one or more contacts resulting from the stylus tip oscillating relative to a stylus housing;
determining a signature associated with disturbance signals generated by the stylus tip; and
based on the signature, identifying an associated mouse action.

Abstract
A stylus includes one or more stylus tips to initiate different mouse actions. The different mouse actions may be initiated by causing the stylus tip to generate disturbance signals on a touch sensitive device. The different mouse actions may also be initiated by using stylus tips of different characteristics with each characteristic associated with a mouse action.

9. A device, comprising:
-
a stylus tip; and
a first mechanical control mechanism coupled to the stylus tip, the first mechanical control mechanism to cause the stylus tip to oscillate on a surface of a touch sensitive device for a first oscillation interval, wherein the first oscillation interval is associated with a first mouse action. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A stylus, comprising:
-
a housing;
a stylus tip coupled to the housing and affixed to a flexing element; and
one or more mechanical mechanisms coupled to the housing and to the flexing element, the one or more mechanical mechanisms to direct oscillations of the stylus tip using the flexing element, wherein the oscillations of the stylus tip generate different disturbance signals on a touch sensitive device, the different disturbance signals associated with different mouse actions. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
