The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 5. The present application provides a method for controlling a writing device, including the following steps:

S10: Receive user input to enter command mode;

S20: Detect writing operation in command mode; and

S30: Perform an operation instruction corresponding to the writing operation according to the writing operation.

The embodiment of the present application provides a writing device 100. The writing device 100 includes a stylus pen 10 and/or a writing pad 20. The control method in the embodiment of the present application may be implemented by the writing device 100. The writing device 100 includes an input module 110, a detection module 120, a storage module 130, and a processor 140. In some examples, the input module 110, the detection module 120, the storage module 130, and the processor 140 may be partially or completely placed on the stylus 10 and/or the writing pad 20. That is to say, the writing device 100 may include only the stylus pen 10 or only the writing pad 20 or a combination of the stylus pen 10 and the writing pad 20.

Step S10 may be implemented by the input module 110, step S20 may be implemented by the detection module 120, and step S30 may be implemented by the processor 140. In other words, the input module 110 is used to receive user input to enter the command mode. The detection module 120 is used to detect the writing operation of the writing device 100 in the command mode. The storage module 130 is used to store the correspondence between the writing operation and the operation instruction. The processor 140 is used to process the writing operation and the corresponding relationship to execute the operation instruction corresponding to the writing operation.

The method for controlling a writing device and the writing device 100 according to the embodiments of the present application can map operation instructions through a predetermined mode of writing operations and in a command mode. The method is simple, the convenience of interaction is improved, and the user experience is better.

The following uses the writing device 100 as a combination of the stylus 10 and the writing pad 20 as an example.

In this embodiment, the writing board 20 may include a capacitive touch sensor, and a coupling capacitor is formed between the stylus 10 and the capacitive touch sensor of the writing board 20. When writing on the writing board 20 with the stylus 10, the coupling capacitance changes and generates a touch signal, and the writing board 20 generates touch handwriting data according to the touch signal.

The writing device 100 can be in communication connection with a mobile terminal 200, such as a tablet computer, a mobile phone, or the like. The handwriting signal generated by the writing board 20 corresponding to the real handwriting can be sent to the mobile terminal 200 for display, so that the real handwriting corresponding to the handwriting signal can be displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal 200 in real time.

Specifically, the stylus 10 may include a casing, a pen core, and a pen tip. The pen core is disposed in the casing. The pen tip is connected to the pen core and extends from one end of the casing to write real handwriting. When the stylus 10 is writing, the pen tip forms a handwriting while driving the writing board 20 to generate a touch signal, and generates touch handwriting data corresponding to the handwriting according to the touch signal.

The operation instructions include, but are not limited to, synchronization instructions for handwriting data, new electronic page creation, new electronic notebook creation, previous page, next page and other operations.

The synchronization instruction is to synchronize the real handwriting to the mobile terminal 200 so that the mobile terminal 200 can obtain the real handwriting. The writing board 20 can communicate with the mobile terminal 200 through Bluetooth, WIFI and other modules. The synchronization command can connect the mobile terminal 200 with the writing board 20 to synchronize real handwriting and display it in real time. At some moments, the user may not need to synchronize the handwriting. At this time, the command can also be used to stop the synchronization.

Generally, when recording content, users need to classify the written content according to a certain category, demand or progress. In order to allow the handwriting displayed on the mobile terminal 200 to be stored regularly, a new page needs to be created on the mobile terminal 200 during the writing process Or create a new notebook. For example, when writing a paragraph, you can create a new page to write the next paragraph. When writing a category, you can create a new notebook to write other content.

When editing the content that has been written, you may need to switch the previous page, the next page, or even the first ten pages and the last ten pages to edit the relevant page content.

In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to implement operation instructions. The writing device 100 can perform corresponding operation instructions through writing operations.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the housing of the stylus 10 may be provided with an input module 110, and the input module 110 may be a mechanical structure capable of pressing, such as an elastic key structure. Of course, the input module 100 may also be a component for input such as a knob or a touch screen, which is not limited herein. The user can enter the command mode by inputting through the input module 110.

In this embodiment, the input module 110 may be disposed at the end of the casing away from the pen tip and protruding from the casing. The user triggers entering the command mode by pressing the input module 110 to the first position, and pressing the input module 110 again causes the input module 110 to recover Go to the initial position to trigger the exit into the command mode.

In other embodiments, the input module 110 may be provided on the writing board 20. Specifically, the writing board may include a functional area and a writing area. The input module 110 is disposed in the functional area. Similarly, the input module 110 may be in the form of buttons or a touch screen, which is not limited herein.

In the command mode, the detection module 120 detects the user's writing operation, and the processor 140 determines whether to trigger the operation instruction and execute the operation instruction corresponding to the writing operation according to the correspondence between the writing operation and the operation instruction stored in the storage module 130.

The detection module 120, the memory 130, and the processor 140 are also provided on the stylus 10 or the writing board 20, respectively. If the processor 140 is disposed on the stylus pen 10, the stylus pen 10 can execute corresponding operation instructions according to the writing operation and the corresponding relationship. Similarly, if the processor 140 is disposed on the writing board 20, the writing board 20 can execute corresponding operation instructions according to the writing operation and the corresponding relationship. The operation instructions are stored and executed by the stylus pen 10 or the writing pad 20. For different mobile terminals 200 connected to the writing device 100, writing records or executing records can be synchronized.

In some embodiments, step S20 includes:

In some embodiments, the detection module 120 is used to detect the number of strokes written in a unit time in the command mode to detect writing operations.

Specifically, the number of strokes written can be used as the writing operation in the operation, and different stroke numbers correspond to different operation instructions. The number of strokes written per unit time is a writing operation, and the unit time can be set according to the user's writing habits, for example, 2s. Within 2s, according to the number of strokes written corresponding to different operation instructions.

In actual operation, the first touch of the stylus pen 10 with the writing pad 20 is recorded as a pen-down, and the two remain in contact during the writing process. Write a stroke from writing a pen to receiving a note. It should be noted that the first time here corresponds to the time point when the stylus pen 10 never touches the writing pad 20 to the first contact with the writing pad 20.

In this way, the way of generating operation instructions is simplified, and it is avoided that the writing operation settings are too complicated, resulting in a low recognition rate and poor matching, which cannot be generated or erroneously generate the operation instructions required by the user. At the same time, by writing strokes, erroneous triggering of operation instructions due to too simple writing operations can also be avoided.

In some embodiments, step S20 includes:

In the command mode, the number of non-continuous contacts in a unit time is detected to detect the writing operation, and the number of contacts corresponds to the operation instruction one by one.

In some embodiments, the detection module 120 is used to detect the number of non-continuous contacts per unit time in the command mode to detect the writing operation.

Specifically, in operation, the number of contacts formed by discontinuous contact between the stylus 10 and the writing board 20 per unit time may be used as the writing operation, and different numbers of contacts correspond to different operation instructions. The number of contacts per unit time is regarded as a writing operation, and the unit time can be set according to the user's writing habits, for example, 2s. Within 2s, according to the different number of contacts corresponding to different operating instructions.

In actual operation, the stylus 10 and the writing board 20 are counted as one contact from contacting to leaving, forming a contact. The discontinuous contact, that is, the process in which the stylus 10 maintains contact after it comes into contact with the writing pad 20, is recorded as a contact.

In this way, the way of generating operation instructions is simplified, and it is avoided that the writing operation settings are too complicated, resulting in a low recognition rate and poor matching, which cannot be generated or erroneously generate the operation instructions required by the user.

The operation of the non-continuous contacts can be realized by the operation of the stylus 10 clicking on the writing pad 20, and the number of non-continuous contacts can be, for example, one-click, double-click, triple-click, etc., which is not limited herein.

Preferably, when the stylus 10 and the writing pad 20 are in contact from each other until they leave, and the pressure generated by the contact is greater than a predetermined threshold, it is counted as one contact. The pressure can be detected by the pressure sensor of the stylus pen 10. In this way, erroneous triggering of operation instructions due to user's erroneous touch can be avoided.

In this embodiment, the number of strokes or the number of contacts corresponds one-to-one to the operation command.

Specifically, the writing operation can be identified by using 4-bit data bits, and up to 16 writing operations and operation instructions can be identified. For example, if the number of writing strokes or the number of contacts is 1, it can be marked with [0001], which corresponds to the data synchronization operation. The number of writing strokes or the number of contacts is 2 can be marked with [0010], which corresponds to the new page operation book.

The processor 140 recognizes the data synchronization operation according to the relationship between the writing operation and the operation instruction and the data [0001] formed by the detected writing operation, thereby enabling synchronization with the mobile terminal 200 and displaying in real time the authenticity of the user writing on the writing board 200 Handwriting.

The processor 140 recognizes the new page operation instruction according to the relationship between the writing operation and the operation instruction and the data formed by the detected writing operation [0010], thereby creating a new blank page in the mobile terminal 200, and displaying the user’s The real handwriting on the board 20 for writing.

Please refer to FIG. 6. In some embodiments, the control method further includes steps:

S00: Receive user input to enter the setting mode;

S02: detect the initialization or update operation in the setting mode;

S04: Update the correspondence between the writing operation and the operation instruction according to the initialization or update operation.

In some embodiments, step S00 may be implemented by the input module 110, step S02 may be implemented by the detection module 120, and step S04 may be implemented by the storage module 130. In other words, the input module 110 is used to receive user input to enter the setting mode. The detection module 120 is used to detect the update operation in the setting mode. The storage module 130 is configured to update the correspondence between the writing operation and the operation instruction according to the update operation, and store the updated correspondence.

In an alternative embodiment, steps S00 and S10 are respectively implemented by different modules; steps S02 and S20 are respectively implemented by different modules; and steps 04 and S30 are respectively implemented by different modules.

It should be noted here that this application does not limit the execution order of step S00, step S02, step S04 and step S10, step S20, and step S30. Steps S00-S04 can be executed before steps S10-S30 to initialize the settings; they can also be executed after steps S10-S30 to update the correspondence between writing operations and operation instructions stored in the storage module.

Specifically, when using the stylus pen 10 for the first time, the user needs to initialize the correspondence between the writing operation and the operation instruction. The user can enter the setting mode by operation. In the setting mode, the user can write according to their own usage habits. The operation and the operation command establish a corresponding relationship. For example, some users may establish a corresponding relationship between a writing operation with a stroke number of 1 and data, while some users may establish a corresponding relationship between a writing operation with a stroke number of 1 and a new page. In this way, the user can flexibly set the correspondence between the number of writings and the operation without having to recite the inherent correspondence, which improves the convenience of interaction.

During use, the user may find that the corresponding relationship that has been set is not appropriate, or the triggering method of some common functions is more cumbersome. For example, a common function requires more strokes to trigger. In this case, the user can change the corresponding relationship in the setting mode to make the updated corresponding relationship more convenient to use.

In the setting mode, if the correspondence relationship is already stored in the electronic device, the correspondence relationship list can be displayed to facilitate the user or the current correspondence relationship, and then the user can select the operation and the number of writings that he wants to change to set again. The corresponding relationship after setting is saved again for recalling in subsequent use.

In this way, the user can adjust the corresponding relationship in time according to the writing situation, which increases the flexibility of using the writing device 100.

The above is an example in which the writing device 100 is a combination of the stylus pen 10 and the writing pad 20.

In some embodiments, the writing device 100 may include only the stylus 10, and the input module 110, the detection module 120, the storage module 130, and the processor 140 are all disposed on the stylus 10. The stylus pen 10 can write on ordinary paper, and the stylus pen 10 can record writing operations through corresponding functional modules or components and communicate with the mobile terminal 200 to realize corresponding operations.

In some embodiments, the writing device 100 may include only the writing pad 20, and the input module 110, the detection module 120, the storage module 130, and the processor 140 are all disposed on the writing pad 20. An ordinary writing pen can be used to write on the writing board 20, and the writing board 20 can record writing operations through corresponding functional modules or components and communicate with the mobile terminal 200 to achieve corresponding operations.

In other embodiments, the memory 130 may be the memory of the mobile terminal 200, and the processor 140 may be the processor of the mobile terminal 200. In such an embodiment, the writing device 100 sends the writing operation to the mobile terminal 200 through the communication module, and the processor of the mobile terminal 200 processes the correspondence and the writing operation to execute the corresponding operation instruction.

Specifically, after the mobile terminal 200 receives the writing operation sent by the writing device 100, it reads the corresponding relationship in the memory to query, and if the operation corresponding to the writing operation corresponding to the writing operation is queried, the corresponding operation instruction is executed If there is no writing operation corresponding to the writing operation, an error message will be issued, such as a text message, and the user may be prompted with a vibration motor and a buzzer. The user can perform effective writing operations again after being prompted.

In this way, the user is reminded when the writing operation is invalid, which is convenient for the user to know the execution state of the writing operation, or whether the operation instruction is correctly triggered.

The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, of course, it should not be used to limit the scope of the rights of the present application, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand all or part of the process of implementing the above embodiments, and according to the claims The equivalent changes made are still within the scope of this application.
