RECHARGEABLE ACTIVE PEN AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH CORRESPONDING CHARGING DOCK

摘要

Powered by a battery module, an active pen transmits a signal that is intended for detection by a touch screen. The active pen may comprise a clip connected to a body, the free end of the clip having a ground contact, and the body having control and charging contacts opposite the ground contact. The free end may be biased such that the ground contact is normally in contact with the control and charging contacts, thereby maintaining the active pen in a signal-transmitting state until separation of the contacts. An electronic device may charge the battery module, optionally responsive to authorization thereof. The electronic device may comprise a partition separating the free end of the clip from the body, the partition having contacts corresponding to the active pen contacts for enabling charging of the battery module.
