iPen teased in Apple patent - Technology and Lifestyles

Patently Apple will likely never see the sunshine of day, but was indeed filed by inventors Aleksandar Pance and Omar Leung for Apple back inside the fourth quarter of 2010 and was published by the united states Patent and Trademark Office today. Have a peek at what could have been ? or what should be within the near future.

The Apple iPen was meant to work with a tablet device (or Koala pad, regardless of the device you?re seeing here would have ended up being), and would work with an active application and operating system between drivers on both the pen and the device its writing on. Which means there?s one whole heck of much more taking place here than inside the majority of the stylus devices we see today save perhaps Samsung?s solution with the S-Pen at the Galaxy Note: Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T Review.

One of the larger things holding Apple back from doing anything like this, from making a pen in any respect, is the indisputable fact that it?d need to be a detachable piece of hardware made to work with the most important piece of hardware: the tablet. The nearest we?ve come to the sort of situation on a mobile device from Apple was the SIM card slot at the iPad and iPhone ? and it pushes in essentially flush with the device ultimately.

?An input device in a position to generating haptic feedback can help a user navigate content displayed at the video display, and should further serve to reinforce the content of assorted applications by making a more appealing and realistic user interface.? ? Apple Patent

This iPen has a haptic actuator down the center, a transmitter and sensor up near its head, and a receiver down by its tip. Between the controller/driver and the receiver, you have got your demodulator/decoder, and the whole lot is powered by what seems to be a comparatively small battery on the back end. This device is incredibly likely unlikely to steer to much of anything, less an addition to the following iPad or iPhone. Carry on dreaming, lovers of the stylus, or simply go get a Samsung device.
