FIG. 1 is a view showing a usage environment of a electronic writing system including a electronic writing instrument and an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the electronic writing system includes an electronic apparatus 100 and a writing instrument 200. [

The electronic writing instrument 200 may include a sensor capable of sensing the pressure applied near the grip of the electronic writing instrument. That is, the sensor near the grip of the electronic writing instrument can detect the degree of deformation of the grip due to the pressure applied to the grip of the electronic writing instrument. Here, the grip means a part of the electronic writing instrument 200 held by the user. The electronic writing instrument 200 can generate grip data corresponding to the degree of deformation of the grip of the detected electronic writing instrument. The generated grip data is transmitted to the electronic device 100 and used to determine the haptic data.

The electronic device 100 includes a mobile device such as a mobile phone, a PDA, or a tablet. The electronic device 100 includes a touch screen, and can display an image and receive handwriting input from a user.

On the other hand, the electronic apparatus 100 can detect the position of the electronic writing instrument on the displayed image. Since the electronic device includes a touch screen, the contact position of the electronic writing instrument at that time can be detected by contacting the electronic writing instrument with the touch screen. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic apparatus 100 can detect the position through hovering without contact with the electronic writing instrument. Here, hovering means exchanging data with each other without touching each other. For example, when a user presses a button included in the electronic writing instrument 200 while the electronic writing instrument 200 is dropped from the display of the electronic instrument 100, the electronic instrument 100 Can be detected.

On the other hand, the electronic device 100 can receive the grip data generated in the electronic writing instrument 200. At this time, the electronic device 100 can determine the haptic data based on the received grip data and the detected position. In this case, the haptic data means data including the haptic function. The haptic function is a function that makes you feel tactile, force, and sense of movement. In the present embodiment, the haptic function is vibration. The user can feel the tactile sense depending on the intensity of the vibration, the frequency of the vibration, and the position of the vibration. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic device 100 can feel tactile force, force, and sense of movement through various haptic functions.

The electronic device 100 can transmit the determined haptic data to the electronic writing instrument 200. [

At this time, the electronic device 100 can transmit haptic data to the electronic writing device using various communication methods such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC (Near Field Communication).

Meanwhile, the electronic writing instrument 200 receives haptic data transmitted by the electronic device 100 using various communication methods such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and NFC (Near Field Communication).

The electronic writing instrument 200 may perform a haptic function corresponding to the received haptic data. For example, the electronic writing instrument 200 can transmit a tactile sense to a user by varying the intensity of vibration, the frequency of vibration, and the vibration position in the vibration element included in the grip of the electronic writing instrument, based on the received haptic data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various haptic functions can be used to feel tactile force, force, and sense of motion.

2 is a diagram illustrating a process of applying a haptic function to a writing instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step S210, the electronic writing instrument 200 detects the degree of grip deformation of the electronic writing instrument and generates grip data corresponding to the detected degree of grip deformation. The degree of grip deformation can be detected through a sensor near the grip of the electronic writing instrument 200. [ When the user applies pressure to the grip of the electronic writing instrument 200 using a finger, the grip is deformed. At this time, when the user grips the grip of the electronic writing instrument 200 with his / her fingers firmly, the degree of deformation of the grip is relatively large. On the contrary, when the user holds the electronic writing instrument 200 lightly, the degree of deformation of the grip is relatively small. The electronic writing instrument 200 generates grip data corresponding to the degree of deformation of the grip.

In step S220, the electronic writing instrument 200 transmits the generated grip data to the electronic device 100. [

In step S230, the electronic device 100 detects the position of the electronic writing instrument 200. [ For example, if the resolution of the display of the electronic device 100 is 1024 * 768 when the user touches the center of the display device of the electronic device 100, And coordinate values of (512, 384). Therefore, the electronic device 100 detects the coordinate values of (512, 384) as the position of the electronic writing instrument 200.

In step S240, the electronic device 100 determines the haptic data based on the generated grip data and the detected position. For example, it is assumed that the user holds the electronic writing instrument 200 with his / her finger and contacts the center of the display device of the electronic apparatus 100. [ In this case, the generated grip data includes information on the position of the grip of the user holding the finger and the degree of deformation of the grip, and the detected position is a coordinate value (" 512, and 384, respectively. On the other hand, a notepad application is executed in an area in the middle of the display of the electronic writing instrument 200. [ Accordingly, the user can make a writing on the notepad application by contacting the electronic writing instrument 200 with the electronic instrument 100. At this time, the user can select one of the note paper images having various materials in the background of the notepad application. Such a note image may include information about a material. For example, the postcard image may be a post-it image and may include information about the post-it's material. In particular, it may include information on the difference in material depending on the position. Therefore, the electronic writing instrument 200 can determine which vibration of the electronic writing instrument 200 is applied to the user in consideration of the position of the grip and the degree of deformation of the grip on the detected position coordinate values 512 and 384 Position of the haptic data.

In step S250, the electronic device 100 transmits the determined haptic data to the electronic writing instrument 200. [

In step S260, the electronic writing instrument 200 receives haptic data from the electronic device 100. [ Then, the haptic function corresponding to the determined haptic data is applied. For example, the electronic writing instrument 200 transmits tactile feedback to the user by varying the vibration intensity of the vibration element around the grip included in the electronic writing instrument, the vibration frequency, and the vibration position based on the received haptic data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various haptic functions can be used to feel tactile force, force, and sense of motion. That is, the electronic writing instrument 200 determines which vibration of the grip 200 of the electronic writing instrument 200 is to be given to which position of the grip based on the haptic data, and determines the intensity of the vibration, the frequency of the vibration, It is possible to output the vibration in a different manner.

3A to 3B are views for explaining a process in which vibrations of various senses are output to a user when the grip of the electronic writing instrument is deformed according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the haptic function includes vibration.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the user touches the mail icon 310 displayed on the display of the electronic device 100 to grasp and grasp the grip. If the user touches the icon 310 displayed on the display of the electronic device 100, the application can be executed. However, the user touches the icon 310 while grasping and grasping the grip. On the other hand, a fountain pen using an eye dropper method absorbs ink through a principle similar to that of a dropper, and the electronic device 100 is also getting an icon 310 on the display as if it absorbs ink from a fountain pen And the icon 310 is finally lost. The electronic device 100 can transmit haptic data indicating a vibration similar to the feeling when the liquid is sucked in, so as to give a vibration similar to a feeling when the ink is sucked into the electronic writing instrument 200 as if the ink is sucked into the pen. Therefore, the electronic writing instrument 100 outputs a vibration similar to the feeling when the ink is sucked in from the fountain pen through the vibration element located around the grip, and the user feels the vibration and receives a feeling similar to when the ink is sucked in from the fountain pen . In addition, information related to the mail icon 310 can be transmitted to the electronic writing instrument 200.

The user can cause another screen to be displayed on the electronic device 100 through screen switching thereafter. The user wants to copy the mail icon 310 to a specific part of the display of the electronic device 100 different from the previous one. Accordingly, the user performs an operation of grasping and grasping the grip of the electronic writing instrument 200 while contacting the electronic writing instrument 200 with a specific portion of the display of the electronic instrument 100. [ At this time, information related to the mail icon 310 is transmitted from the electronic writing instrument 200 to the electronic device 100, and the size of the mail icon 310 gradually increases until the size of the electronic icon 100 becomes constant on the display of the electronic device 100 The effect can be increased. In addition, the electronic device 100 can transmit haptic data to give a vibration similar to a feeling of weaving in a writing instrument. Accordingly, the electronic writing instrument 200 outputs a vibration similar to a feeling of squeezing a paint through a vibration element located around the grip, and the user can feel a feeling similar to when he feels such vibration and produces a paint.

Figure 3b shows the vibrations felt in the grips when actually painting. As shown, it includes vibrations of various frequencies. A combination of sinusoidal waves with various frequencies can be used to represent vibrations similar to vibrations that are felt in grips when real paint is applied. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and vibrations similar to the actually sensed vibration can be expressed in the vibration element through various methods.

 4 is a diagram illustrating a process of outputting vibration corresponding to each frequency to a user through a writing instrument on an equalizer program according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present embodiment assumes that the user has executed the equalizer program in the electronic device 100. [ At this time, the user can adjust the level of each frequency band by moving the up and down buttons. However, in the case of using a button, adjustment of a minute level is difficult, and it is troublesome to adjust the level of each frequency band. Thus, instead of moving the button, the user can touch the electronic device 200 on the electronic device 100 to make a line up and down from the left end to the right end of the display, finely adjusting the level of each frequency band.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the user moves up and down the line from the left end to the right end to adjust the level of each frequency band, the level control button of the frequency band is drawn to the upper and lower portions of the drawn line Respectively. On the other hand, when the electronic device 100 draws a line using the electronic writing instrument 200 and passes through the frequency band portion, haptic data representing the frequency can be transmitted. The electronic writing instrument 200 can receive the haptic data indicating the corresponding frequency and output the vibration of the frequency. For example, when passing through the first area 410, the user may feel a vibration of 500 Hz in the electronic writing instrument 200. On the other hand, when passing through the second area 420, the user can feel the vibration of 4 kHz in the electronic writing instrument 200. However, the electronic writing instrument 200 is not limited to output the vibration of the same frequency as the frequency band, but can output the vibration of the other frequency corresponding to the frequency band.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a process of expressing braille characters at a grip portion of a electronic writing instrument in the case where the electronic writing instrument is located around characters of the user terminal screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the user causes the electronic writing instrument 200 to approach the vicinity of the NAVER 510 on the screen of the electronic instrument 100. At this time, it is assumed that the user directs the electronic writing instrument 200 to the vicinity of the NAVER 510 through hovering, without bringing the electronic instrument 100 into contact with the screen. The electronic device 100 recognizes characters from the information included in the NAVER 510. [ The electronic device 100 recognizes the character 'Naver' from the information included in the NAVER 510, and accordingly stores the haptic data in the ' . At this time, the character information "Naver" can be converted into Braille characters 520 corresponding to each character. In this embodiment, the braille character 520 is assumed to have six braille characters. But it is not limited thereto and can be expressed in various braille forms. When converted into braille, each point of the braille can correspond to one vibration element of the electronic writing instrument 200. [ Specific details will be described in detail when the vibration element is described in Figs. 6A to 6C.

On the other hand, the generated haptic data includes information on six braille characters and information on the vibration element corresponding to each point of the braille, so that the electronic writing instrument 200 can output the vibration to an appropriate vibration element using the information. Therefore, contents displayed on the electronic device 100 such as a visually impaired person can be easily recognized using the electronic writing instrument 200. [

6A to 6C are views for explaining the shape of a vibration element according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6A, the vibration elements 610 and 620 include a plurality of vibration elements. The plurality of vibrating elements are configured to surround and grip the grips of the electronic writing instrument. Each vibration element can output vibration. Further, each of the vibration elements can sense the pressure applied to the electronic writing instrument by the user.

The vibrating element 620 is the same element as the spreading form of the vibrating element 610 only.

Referring to FIG. 6B, vibration elements 610 and 620 and other vibration elements 630 and 640 are shown. The above-described vibration element 610 looks like an element like the other vibration element 630 seen from above.

However, the vibration element 640, which is an expanded form of the vibration element 630, has a different form from the vibration element 620, which is an expanded form of the vibration element 610. Basically, the vibration elements 610 and 620 are arranged in a matrix of 8 * 1 matrix, but the vibration elements 630 and 640 are further subdivided so that a plurality of vibration elements are arranged in an 8 * 3 matrix. Therefore, each vibration element can be controlled to transmit a more direct feeling to the user.

Referring to FIG. 6C, a user holds the vibration elements 630 and 640. Specifically, when the user grasps the grip portion using a finger (thumb and index finger), pressure is transmitted to 2 * 3 vibration elements 655 among 8 * 3 vibration elements. At this time, the degree of deformation is detected by the vibration element 655 to which the pressure is transmitted. On the other hand, the rest of the vibration elements are not pressed by the user because they are not gripped by the finger. Therefore, the degree of deformation is hardly detected in the vibration elements in which the pressure is hardly transmitted. The electronic writing instrument 200 generates grip data indicating such degree of deformation.

On the other hand, the vibration element 660 is an unfolded form of the vibration element 650. When the user grasps the grip portion using a finger (thumb and index finger), pressure is transmitted to the 2 * 3 vibration element 665 in the 8 * 3 vibration element.

Referring again to FIG. 5, the electronic writing instrument 200 can represent braille using a 2 * 3 vibrating element 665. That is, each of the six vibration elements represents one braille point. For example, when the user uses the electronic writing instrument 200 in the left direction in FIG. 6C, it is assumed that the electronic writing instrument 200 is in the direction toward the electronic instrument 100.

Referring again to FIG. 5, when the 'b' portion of the braille character 520 is represented by braille, the vibration is outputted to the user using the leftmost and rightmost vibration elements of the 2 * 3 vibration element 665 in FIG. 6C . 6C, the vibration is outputted to the user using two vibration elements continuous from the upper left corner to the right side of the 2 * 3 vibration element 665. In this case, as shown in FIG.

7 is a view for explaining a process in which vibration is output to a user through a grip portion of the electronic writing instrument when handwriting is performed using the electronic writing instrument according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The left part of FIG. 7 shows a case where an actual user writes notes in offline. When an actual user writes notes in offline, vibration is transmitted to the user through the grip of the writing instrument. Such vibrations may vary depending on the degree to which the user holds the writing instrument and the material of the paper.

The right part of FIG. 7 shows the case where the electronic instrument 100 is handwritten using the electronic writing instrument 200. The degree of grip deformation of the electronic writing instrument 200 in the electronic writing instrument 200 is detected using a sensor around the grip and the grip data corresponding to the detected degree of grip deformation is generated and the electronic instrument 100 receives the grip data And generates haptic data for performing a haptic function based thereon. The generated haptic data may be transmitted to the electronic writing instrument 200, and the electronic writing instrument 200 may perform a haptic function corresponding to the transmitted haptic data. In this embodiment, the haptic function is vibration. Therefore, the vibration can be outputted to the user by using the vibration element. Users can get the impression that they are written off-line on real paper because of the vibration that is output. Particularly, the vibration element can be positioned around the grip, which is a portion where the user's hand and the electronic writing instrument come into contact with each other, to provide a direct writing feeling.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a electronic writing instrument and an electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8, the electronic writing system includes an electronic apparatus 100 and a writing instrument 200.

The electronic device 100 includes a detection unit 810, a haptic data determination unit 820, a reception unit 830, and a transmission unit 840.

The detection unit 810 detects the position of the electronic writing instrument 200. Specifically, when contacting the electronic writing instrument 200, the position of contact with the electronic instrument 100 can be detected. On the other hand, even if the electronic writing instrument 200 is not in contact, the position of the intersection between the extended line of the electronic instrument 200 and the electronic apparatus can be detected.

The receiving unit 830 receives grip data corresponding to the degree of grip deformation of the electronic writing instrument from the electronic writing instrument 200. [

The haptic data determining unit 820 determines the haptic data based on the grip data received by the receiving unit 830 and the position of the electronic writing instrument detected by the detecting unit 810.

The electronic device 100 may further include an event determination unit (not shown) for determining the content of an event that occurs in response to the position detected by the detection unit 810. For example, even if a writing instrument is detected at the same position, the contents of an event to be generated may vary. Referring again to FIG. 5, when the electronic writing instrument 200 touches the NAVER 510 portion displayed on the electronic device 100, the event determination portion can determine the contents of the event that the Naver homepage goes beyond the screen. On the other hand, when the position of the electronic writing instrument 200 detected by the position detecting unit is within the range of the NAVER 510 in a state where the electronic writing instrument 200 is located at a distance from the electronic instrument 100, the event determining unit (not shown) 510) may be determined based on the contents of the event.

On the other hand, the content determined by the event determination unit may include content indicating a frequency corresponding to the position detected by the detection unit 810. [ For example, referring again to FIG. 4, when the detecting unit detects the position of the electronic writing instrument 200 in the first area 410, the event determining unit may include contents indicating 500 Hz corresponding to the detected position have.

The haptic data determiner 820 can determine the haptic data based on the contents of the grip data received by the receiver 830 and the event determined by the event determiner (not shown). Meanwhile, the haptic data determining unit 820 may determine the haptic data including the content indicating the corresponding frequency.

On the other hand, the electronic device 100 may include a text recognition unit (not shown). The text recognition unit (not shown) can recognize the text based on the contents of the event determined by the event determination unit. At this time, the haptic data determination unit 820 can determine the haptic data to correspond to the vibration element included in the electronic writing instrument 200 based on the text recognized by the text recognition unit.

The transmitting unit 840 transmits the data determined by the haptic data determining unit 840.

The electronic writing instrument 200 includes a receiving unit 850, a haptic function performing unit 860, a grip data generating unit 870, and a transmitting unit 880.

The grip data generation unit 870 detects the degree of grip deformation of the electronic writing instrument 200. [ Specifically, the grip data generation unit 870 can detect the degree of grip deformation of the electronic writing instrument 200 by using the vibration element included in the electronic writing instrument. Further, the grip data generating unit 870 generates grip data corresponding to the detected degree of grip deformation.

The transmission unit 880 transmits the grip data generated by the grip data generation unit 870 to the electronic device 100.

The haptic function performing unit 860 performs a haptic function corresponding to the haptic data received by the receiving unit 850. [ On the other hand, the electronic writing instrument may further include a plurality of vibration elements (not shown). At this time, the haptic function performing unit 860 can select at least one of the plurality of vibration elements. In addition, the haptic function performing unit 860 can output the vibration to the selected vibration element. On the other hand, the haptic function performing unit 860 can output the vibration of the frequency corresponding to the detected position based on the content indicating the frequency corresponding to the detected position.

On the other hand, the haptic function performing unit 860 selects at least one of the plurality of vibration elements based on the haptic data determined to correspond to the plurality of vibration elements included in the electronic writing instrument 200, Can be output.
