In an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 107 of the pen input device 100 rotates the entire body of the pen holder 130, that is, the body 133 itself, which embeds the components of the pen holder 130 and forms an external shape. , Holding angle can be controlled.

In detail, the control unit 107 may first initialize the holding angle of the pen holder 130 mounted on the pen input device 100 based on a right angle imprinted perpendicular to the ground.

That is, the control unit 107 may initialize the inclination of the pen holder 130 to a right angle perpendicular to the ground.

In addition, when the inclination of the pen input device 100 changes and the inclination of the pen holder 130 deviates from the right angle, the control unit 107 may initiate the pen holder based on the inclination change amount sensed through the sensor unit 104. The rotational operation of the rotating member 150 can be controlled to return to the right angle holding angle.

Thus, the control unit 107 may rotate the holder frame 140 of the pen input device 100 and the pen holder 130 connected to the holder frame 140 according to the rotation of the rotating member 150, Through this, the inclination of the pen holder 130 deviating from the initial right angle holding angle may be returned to the initial holding angle.

That is, when the tilt of the pen input device 100 changes, the control unit 107 rotates the pen holder 130 body 133 coupled to the pen input device 100 based on the amount of change in the tilt, It is possible to implement the pen holder 130 that maintains the initially set right-angled tilt at a holding angle.

At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, the pen holder 130, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, is a fixed pen that is integrally implemented with the rotating member 150 and the holder frame 140 of the pen input device 100 The holder 130, or as shown in Figure 8, may be any one of a removable pen holder 130 that is detachably implemented on the rotating member 150 and / or the holder frame 140 of the pen input device 100. .

Here, referring to FIG. 8 further, in the embodiment, the detachable pen holder 130 may be in a state in which the holder frame 140 is coupled, and in this state 1) the rotation built in the pen input device 100 It may be mechanically coupled to or separated from the member 150, or 2) detached from the pen input device 100 in a magnetic manner.

9 is a view for explaining an example of a method in which the removable pen holder 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention is combined with the pen input device 100.
