<p>A multi-purpose stylus and method for communicating and interacting with a computing device both through physical contact and wirelessly. Embodiments of the stylus and method facilitate the use of the stylus as both a physical input instrument (by contacting a surface of the computing device to input data) and as a remote wireless instrument using a variety of auxiliary devices. Many types and combinations of auxiliary devices may be incorporated into embodiments of the stylus and method. These include one or more microphones and speakers, a laser pointer, a camera, a color sensor for obtaining color coordinates of an object, and an accelerometer to identify and interpret user gestures. Moreover, identification and authentication of a user may be achieved by including a fingerprint sensor and an identification device having a unique identifier. A transceiver is used to wireless communicate and control remote devices and the computing device.</p> |
