Touchscreen stylus |
摘要 |
A stylus instrument for interfacing with a capacitive touchscreen of an electronic device. According to certain aspects, the stylus instrument includes a body portion and a tip portion with a ring connected thereto and supported at an angle relative to the body portion. The tip portion includes a pointer extending therefrom and aligned to point at the center of the ring. The ring includes a conductive contact surface configured to activate sensors of the capacitive touchscreen and accordingly facilitate functionalities of the electronic device. The configuration of the stylus instrument enables a user a precise visual guide in selecting and facilitating the functionalities of the device with a reduced amount of friction as a result of a void at or near the center of the ring. |
