As shown in fig. 1to 7, the stylus includes a pen body 10, a touch module 20, and a signal transceiver module 30.
The pen body 10 is of a hollow structure, the touch module 20 and the signal transceiver module 30 are both located in the pen body 10, and the touch module 20 is electrically connected with the signal transceiver module 30. The touch module 20 may include a circuit board 21 and a resistor assembly 22, the circuit board 21 is disposed on an inner wall of the pen body 10, and the resistor assembly 22 is disposed on the circuit board 21. In the case of operating the outer wall of the pen body 10 opposite to the touch module 20, the resistance of the resistance assembly 22 is changed to control the electronic device connected to the signal transceiver module 30 through the resistance change, and adjust the function of the electronic device.
In the embodiment of the present application, since the pen body 10 has a hollow structure, the touch module 20 and the signal transceiver module 30 can be installed in the pen body 10. Because the touch module 20 and the signal transceiver module 30 are both located in the pen body 10, the touch module 20 is electrically connected with the signal transceiver module 30, and the touch module 20 includes a circuit board 21 and a resistor component 22, the resistor component 22 is disposed on the circuit board 11, and the resistor component 22 is electrically connected with the signal transceiver module 30, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 opposite to the touch module 20 is operated, a signal can be transmitted between the touch module 20 and the signal transceiver module 30, the touch module 20 can transmit a signal to the signal transceiver module 30, that is, the resistance of the resistor component 20 can be changed, and the resistor component 20 transmits the resistance change to the signal transceiver module 30, so that the touch pen can control an electronic device connected with the signal transceiver module 30 according to the resistance change, and the electronic device can perform a corresponding operation according to the signal, that is, the function of the electronic device is adjusted. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the touch module 20 and the signal transceiver module 30 in the pen body 10, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20 is operated, the electronic device connected with the signal transceiver module 30 can be controlled, that is, the outer wall of the touch pen can be operated, and then the electronic device can be controlled, so that multiple switching on the display screen is avoided, and the user experience can be improved.
In the embodiment of the present application, the signal transceiver module 30 may be a bluetooth module, and may be a short-range wireless communication module, which is not limited herein.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20 is operated, at this time, the resistance of the resistance component 22 changes, that is, the touch module 20 can generate a touch signal, and the touch module 20 can transmit the touch signal to the signal transceiver module 30. In general, the signal transceiver module 30 may be connected to an electronic device, and after the signal transceiver module 30 receives a touch signal, the signal transceiver module 30 may send the touch signal to the electronic device, so that the electronic device may perform a corresponding operation according to the touch signal. When the operations performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20 are different, the touch signals generated by the touch module 20 are different, and the final operations performed by the electronic device are different, that is, the functional adjustment for the electronic device is different.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the operation performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the touch module 20 includes, but is not limited to, a long press operation, a short press operation, a sliding operation, a rotating operation, and the like. Specifically, the setting may be according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited herein.
For example, when a long press operation is performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the touch module 20, a first menu may be displayed on the display screen of the electronic device, and when a short press operation is performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the touch module 20, a second menu may be displayed on the display screen of the electronic device. For another example, when a long press operation is performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the touch module 20, the screen displayed on the display screen may fast forward, and when a short press operation is performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the touch module 20, the screen displayed on the display screen of the electronic device may stop.
In addition, when a user draws through the display screen, the stroke effect, the line thickness and the color of the drawing pen displayed on the display screen generally need to be adjusted, and the stroke effect, the line thickness and the color are divided into three-level operation menus, wherein the first-level operation menu corresponds to the stroke effect, such as a pencil, a pen, a writing brush and the like, the second-level operation menu corresponds to the line thickness, and the third-level menu corresponds to the color. At this time, the long-press operation is performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20, so that the pen-touch effect on the display screen of the electronic device can be finally changed, for example, the pen-touch effect is switched once on the display screen of the electronic device every time the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20 is long-pressed. The thickness of the line on the display screen of the electronic device can be finally changed by performing short-press operation on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20. When clicking operation is performed on the outer wall corresponding to the position of the touch module 20, the color on the display screen of the electronic device can be changed finally.
For example, when the electronic device is controlled by using the touch pen, the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20 can be pressed for a long time first, so that the writing brush is displayed on the display screen of the electronic device, then the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20 is pressed for a short time, so that the writing drawn by the writing brush on the display screen of the electronic device is moderate in thickness, and finally the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20 is clicked, so that the color of the writing drawn by the writing brush is changed.
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the stylus may further include a control module 60, where the control module 60 is electrically connected to the touch module 20 and the signal transceiver module 30, respectively.
When the stylus includes the control module 60 and the control module 60 is electrically connected to the touch module 20 and the signal transceiver module 30, at this time, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the touch module 20 is operated, the resistance of the resistance component 22 changes, that is, the touch module 20 may generate a touch signal and send the touch signal to the control module 60, the control module 60 generates a control signal according to the touch signal and sends the control signal to the signal transceiver module 30, and the signal transceiver module 30 sends the control signal to an electronic device connected to the signal transceiver module 30, so that the electronic device performs a corresponding operation according to the control signal.
It should be noted that the control module 60 may be a controller, a control chip, a processor, or the like.
Additionally, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the resistive component 22 may include a fixed resistor 221 and a pressure sensitive component 222. The fixed resistor 221 and the pressure-sensitive component 222 are disposed on a first surface of the circuit board 21, where the first surface faces the inner space of the pen body 10. The fixed resistor 221 is electrically connected with the piezoresistor 223, the pressure sensitive component 222 is electrically connected with the signal transceiver module 30, and the fixed resistor 221 and the piezoresistor 223 form a resistor bridge.
When the resistor assembly 22 includes the fixed resistor 221 and the pressure sensitive assembly 222, both the fixed resistor 221 and the pressure sensitive assembly 222 are disposed on the circuit board 21, and the fixed resistor 221 is electrically connected to the varistor 223, at this time, the fixed resistor 221 may form a resistor bridge with the varistor 223, so that the resistances of the fixed resistor 221 and the pressure sensitive assembly 222 are balanced. In addition, since the circuit board 21 is disposed on the inner wall of the pen body 10, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the circuit board 21 is operated, that is, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the touch module 20 is operated, the resistance of the piezoresistor 223 will change, so that the resistance between the fixed resistance 221 and the pressure sensitive component 222 is unbalanced, the resistance of the resistance bridge formed by the fixed resistance 221 and the pressure sensitive component 222 changes, so that the voltage of the resistance bridge changes, the signal transceiver module 30 can acquire a voltage change signal, and thus, the electronic device connected with the signal transceiver module 30 is controlled, that is, the electronic device performs a corresponding operation.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the circuit board 21 may be a flexible circuit board (Flexible Printed Circuit, FPC), but may also be a printed circuit board (Printed Circuit Board, PCB), and the embodiment of the present application is not limited herein as to the type of the circuit board 21.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the fixed resistor 221 refers to a resistor whose resistance value does not change. In addition, when the touch module 20 includes the circuit board 21, the fixed resistor 221, and the pressure sensitive element 222, at this time, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the circuit board 21 is operated, the operation position is mainly pressed, for example, a long press operation, a short press operation, or the like.
In addition, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the number of fixed resistors 221 may be multiple, and the pressure sensitive component 222 may include multiple piezoresistors 223. The piezoresistors 223 are sequentially connected in series, the fixed resistors 221 are sequentially connected in series, and the fixed resistors 221 after the series are electrically connected with the piezoresistors 223 after the series, so as to form a resistor bridge.
When the number of the fixed resistors 221 is plural, and the pressure sensitive component 222 includes a plurality of piezoresistors 223, at this time, the plurality of piezoresistors 223 are sequentially connected in series, the plurality of fixed resistors 221 are sequentially connected in series, a first fixed resistor 221 of the plurality of fixed resistors 221 after being connected in series may be connected with a first piezoresistor 223 of the plurality of piezoresistors 223 after being connected in series, and a last fixed resistor 221 of the plurality of fixed resistors 221 after being connected in series may be connected with a last piezoresistor 223 of the plurality of piezoresistors 223 after being connected in series, so that the plurality of fixed resistors 221 and the plurality of piezoresistors 223 form a closed loop resistance bridge. At this time, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the wiring board 21 is operated, the resistance values of the plurality of piezoresistors 223 are changed, so that the voltage in the resistance bridge is changed.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, a voltage may be applied to the resistive bridge, and when the resistance values of the fixed resistor 221 and the piezoresistor 223 are balanced, the voltage in the resistive bridge is unchanged. When the resistance value of the varistor 223 changes due to the operation of the outer wall of the pen body 10, the resistance values of the fixed resistor 221 and the varistor 223 lose balance, and the voltage in the resistor bridge changes.
For example, as shown in fig. 2, the number of the fixed resistors 221 is three, the pressure sensitive component 222 includes three piezoresistors 223, the three fixed resistors 221 and the pressure sensitive component 222 form a resistor bridge, and have 4 connection points A, B, C and D, and the power supply is connected to points a and C. When the resistance value of the voltage sensitive component 222 is unchanged, the voltages at points B and D in the resistive bridge are unchanged. As the resistance value of the pressure sensitive component 222 changes, the voltages at points B and D in the resistive bridge change.
Additionally, in some embodiments, the stylus may further include a voltage detection module 40, where the voltage detection module 40 is electrically connected to the voltage sensitive component 222 and the signal transceiver module 30, and the voltage detection module 40 detects a voltage change of the resistive bridge and a duration of the voltage change.
When the stylus includes the voltage detection module 40 and the voltage detection module 40 is electrically connected to the voltage sensitive component 222 and the signal transceiver module 30 respectively, at this time, when the outer wall of the pen body 10 opposite to the position of the circuit board 21 is operated, the resistance value of the voltage sensitive component 222 changes, so that the voltage detection module 40 can detect the voltage change in the resistance bridge and the duration of the voltage change, thereby determining whether the operation performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the circuit board 21 is a long-press operation or a short-press operation, and generating different touch signals, so that the electronic device performs different operations. That is, by providing the voltage detection module 40, the type of operation performed on the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the wiring board 21 can be determined, thereby causing the electronic apparatus to perform different operations.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, a time threshold may be set, when the duration of the voltage change of the resistive bridge is greater than the time threshold, the operation of the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the circuit board 21 is determined to be a long-press operation, and when the duration of the voltage change of the resistive bridge is less than the time threshold, the operation of the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the circuit board 21 is determined to be a short-press operation. The time threshold may be set according to actual needs, for example, the time threshold may be 2 seconds or 3 seconds. The embodiments of the present application are not limited in this regard.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the stylus includes the control module 60, the voltage detection module 40 may be electrically connected to the control module 60, and the control module 60 is electrically connected to the signal transceiver module 30. When the voltage detection module 40 detects the voltage change and the voltage change duration of the resistor bridge, the voltage detection module 40 may send the voltage change duration to the control module 60, the control module 60 generates a control signal according to the voltage change duration and sends the control signal to the signal transceiver module 30, and the signal transceiver module 30 sends the control signal to the electronic device, so that the electronic device performs a corresponding operation according to the control signal.

The plurality of capacitor regions 211 are connected to the signal transceiver module 30.
When the circuit board 21 is disposed on the inner wall of the pen body 10 along the circumferential direction of the pen body 10, and when a plurality of capacitance areas 211 are disposed on the second surface of the circuit board 21 at intervals, and the second surface faces the inner wall of the pen body 10, at this time, the capacitance areas 211 and the outer wall of the pen body 10 are equivalent to form a capacitance, when a user touches the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the circuit board 21, the capacitance value of the capacitance area 211 changes, and the signal transceiver module 30 can obtain the capacitance change of the capacitance area 211, so that the electronic device performs a corresponding operation according to the capacitance value change of the capacitance area 211. In addition, the adjacent two capacitor regions 211 are insulated from each other, so that the adjacent two capacitor regions 211 can be prevented from interfering with each other.
In addition, in some embodiments, the stylus may further include a capacitance detection module 50, where the capacitance detection module 50 is electrically connected to the plurality of capacitance areas 211 and the signal transceiver module 30, and the capacitance detection module 50 detects a capacitance change of the plurality of capacitance areas 211.
When the stylus includes the capacitance detection module 50, the capacitance detection module 50 is electrically connected to the plurality of capacitance areas 211 and the signal transceiver module 30, respectively, at this time, when a user touches the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the circuit board 21, the capacitance value of the capacitance area 211 changes, and the capacitance detection module 50 may detect the capacitance change of the capacitance area 211, so as to send the capacitance change to the signal transceiver module 30, so that the signal transceiver module 30 may obtain the capacitance change, and thus the signal transceiver module 30 may send the capacitance change to the electronic device, so that the electronic device performs a corresponding operation according to the capacitance change.
In addition, when the stylus includes the control module 60, the capacitance detection module 50 may be electrically connected to the control module 60, and the control module 60 is connected to the signal transceiver module 30. When the capacitance detection module 50 detects a capacitance change of the capacitance area 211, the capacitance detection module 50 may send the detected capacitance change to the control module 60, the control module 60 generates a control signal according to the capacitance change and sends the control signal to the signal transceiver module 30, and the signal transceiver module 30 sends the control signal to the electronic device, so that the electronic device performs a corresponding operation according to the control signal.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 7, the capacitance detection module 50 may include a capacitance detection sub-module 51 and a signal conversion sub-module 52.

The capacitance detection sub-module 51 is configured to detect a capacitance change of the plurality of capacitance areas 211, and the signal conversion sub-module 52 is configured to convert the capacitance change so that the control module 60 can identify the capacitance change. The capacitance change of the capacitance area 211 is usually an electrical signal, and the capacitance detection sub-module 51 detects the electrical signal, at this time, the capacitance detection sub-module 51 sends the electrical signal to the conversion module, the conversion module converts the electrical signal into a digital signal, and sends the digital signal to the control module 60, and the control module 60 can identify the digital signal.
In addition, in the embodiment of the application, since the circuit board 21 is provided with the plurality of capacitance areas 211 at intervals, when the user holds the stylus, that is, when the user's hand contacts the outer wall of the pen body 10 corresponding to the position of the circuit board 21, the outer wall of the pen body 10 can be rotated by rotating the stylus, so that the capacitance of the capacitance area 211 on the circuit board 21 changes, and the capacitance detection module 50 can detect the capacitance change, so as to determine which capacitance area 211 the user touches at this time. In addition, by determining which of the capacitive areas 211 is touched by the user, the rotational direction of the pen body 10 may also be determined, so that the capacitive detection module 50 may also transmit a rotational signal of the rotational direction of the pen body 10 to the control module 60, so that the control module 60 generates a control signal according to the rotational signal.
For example, rotating the stylus clockwise, the capacitance detection module 50 sends a first rotation signal to the control module 60, the control module 60 generates a first control signal, and the electronic device may perform a function of switching menus according to the first control signal. The stylus is rotated anticlockwise, the capacitance detection module 50 sends a second rotation signal to the control module 60, the control module 60 generates a second control signal, and the electronic device can execute a menu selection function according to the second control signal. For another example, rotating the stylus clockwise while playing audio or video on the display may cause the audio or video on the display to fast forward. Rotating the stylus counter-clockwise may cause the audio or video on the display to fast reverse.
In addition, in the process of rotating the stylus, due to the rotation of the pen body 10, the position of the capacitance region 211 on the circuit board 21 is changed, so that the capacitance of the capacitance region 211 is changed, and the operation frequency of the user can be determined according to the capacitance change frequency.
For example, as shown in fig. 5,10 capacitor regions 211 are provided on the circuit board 21 at intervals of 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, respectively. The areas touched by the user in the initial state with the pen holding gesture are 3, 6 and 9, after rotating by a certain angle, the user is set to rotate by two capacitance areas 211, namely the capacitance areas 211 touched by the hand after rotating are 5, 8 and 1, and the effective operation is judged to occur when the capacitance changes are detected in the areas 4, 7 and 10, and the operation times of the user are 1.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, when the stylus includes the control module 60, at this time, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control module 60, and the control module 60 is electrically connected to the signal transceiver module 30.

That is, by providing the feedback module 70, a prompt effect may be provided to the user, prompting the user to currently operate on the outer wall of the pen body 10 as an effective operation.
It should be noted that, the feedback module 70 may be a linear motor, and the linear motor may vibrate, so as to vibrate the pen body 10. Of course, the feedback module 70 may be other vibratable devices, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited in this respect.
