  • Motion and Context Sensing Techniques for Pen Computing
    Motion and Context Sensing Techniques for Pen Computing Ken Hinckley1, Xiang ‘Anthony’ Chen1,2, and Hrvoje Benko1 * Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA1 and Carnegie Mellon University Dept. of Computer Science2 ABSTRACT We explore techniques for a slender and untethered stylus prototype enhanced with a full suite of inertial sensors (three-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer). We present a taxonomy of enhanced stylus input techniques and consider a number of novel possibilities that combine motion sensors with pen stroke and touchscreen inputs on a pen + touch slate. These Fig. 1 Our wireless prototype has accelerometer, gyro, and inertial sensors enable motion-gesture inputs, as well sensing the magnetometer sensors in a ~19 cm Χ 11.5 mm diameter stylus. context of how the user is holding or using the stylus, even when Our system employs a custom pen augmented with inertial the pen is not in contact with the tablet screen. Our initial results sensors (accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer, each a 3-axis suggest that sensor-enhanced stylus input offers a potentially rich sensor, for nine total sensing dimensions) as well as a low-power modality to augment interaction with slate computers. radio. Our stylus prototype also thus supports fully untethered Keywords: Stylus, motion sensing, sensors, pen+touch, pen input operation in a slender profile with no protrusions (Fig. 1). This allows us to explore numerous interactive possibilities that were Index Terms: H.5.2 Information Interfaces & Presentation: Input cumbersome in previous systems: our prototype supports direct input on tablet displays, allows pen tilting and other motions far 1 INTRODUCTION from the digitizer, and uses a thin, light, and wireless stylus.

  • Active Pen Input and the Android Input Framework
    ACTIVE PEN INPUT AND THE ANDROID INPUT FRAMEWORK A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Electrical Engineering by Andrew Hughes June 2011 c 2011 Andrew Hughes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: Active Pen Input and the Android Input Framework AUTHOR: Andrew Hughes DATE SUBMITTED: June 2011 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Chris Lupo, Ph.D. COMMITTEE MEMBER: Hugh Smith, Ph.D. COMMITTEE MEMBER: John Seng, Ph.D. iii Abstract Active Pen Input and the Android Input Framework Andrew Hughes User input has taken many forms since the conception of computers. In the past ten years, Tablet PCs have provided a natural writing experience for users with the advent of active pen input. Unfortunately, pen based input has yet to be adopted as an input method by any modern mobile operating system. This thesis investigates the addition of active pen based input to the Android mobile operating system. The Android input framework was evaluated and modified to allow for active pen input events. Since active pens allow for their position to be detected without making contact with the screen, an on-screen pointer was implemented to provide a digital representation of the pen's position. Extensions to the Android Soft- ware Development Kit (SDK) were made to expose the additional functionality provided by active pen input to developers. Pen capable hardware was used to test the Android framework and SDK additions and show that active pen input is a viable input method for Android powered devices.
