Abstract

The invention provides a wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability. The wireless transmission method comprises the touch pen wireless receiving at least a record extracted from a displaying data area by a touch device when the touch pen touches to select the data display region shown on a touch screen of the touch device, and the touch pen storing the record. Accordingly, the touch pen can receive data from the touch device according to touch-control of the user.

Claims

1. A wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability, comprising:

the touch pen wirelessly receiving at least a record extracted from a displaying data area by a touch device when the touch pen touches to select the data display region shown on a touch screen of the touch device;

the touch pen storing the record; and

the touch pen determining whether the record is needed to display on a display unit of the touch pen when the touch pen receives the record;

the touch pen displaying the record on the display unit of the touch pen if the record is needed to be displayed on the display unit of the touch pen;

the touch pen transmitting the record to a device with wireless communication capability if the record is not needed to be displayed on the display unit of the touch pen.

2. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 1, further comprising:

the touch pen storing the record to a memorizing unit.

3. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 2, further comprising:

using software to compare the record with a corresponding record stored in the touch pen through a wireless communication channel, updating the record.

4. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether a wireless communication channel between the touch pen and the touch device is needed to be established.

5. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 4, further comprising:

establishing the wireless communication channel between the touch pen and the touch device by software, if it is needed, to establish the wireless communication channel between the touch pen and the touch device.

6. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether it is needed to establish a second communication channel between the touch pen and the device with wireless capability;

the software establishing the second wireless transmission channel between the touch pen and the device with wireless capability if it is needed to establish the second communication channel between the touch pen and the device with wireless capability;

the touch pen communicating with the device with wireless capability through a predetermined wireless communication channel if it is not needed to establish the second communication channel between the touch pen and the device with wireless capability.

7. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 1, further comprising:

the touch pen transmitting the received record to a device with wireless capability through a second wireless communication channel.

8. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 7, further comprising:

closing or not closing the wireless communication channel after the touch pen receives the record.

9. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 1, further comprising:

closing or not closing the wireless communication channel after the touch pen receives the record.

10. The wireless transmission method for a touch pen with wireless storage and forwarding capability according to claim 1, further comprising:

the touch pen changing the function of at least a switch on the touch pen when the touch pen receives the record.
