1. A computing system, said computing system comprising:
- an input device and a computing device, said input device including a memory, a controller having a first CPU and an electronic pen input device operative to emit a first signal having a first characteristic and a second signal having a second characteristic, said computing device including a second CPU;
a detector for detecting said characteristics of the emitted signals; and
wherein said controller is interfaced with said detector so that said first CPU selectively interprets the emitted signals as one of information to be stored by said input device and information to be forwarded to said computing device and that routes (a) to said memory the information to be stored therein and (b) to the computing device the information to be forwarded thereto for processing by said second CPU.
