Abstract
A writing instrument having a plurality of retraction mechanisms, wherein each of the plurality of retraction mechanisms is configured to actuate a respective retractable writing tip, each retraction mechanism being configured to produce a different predetermined sound that is suitable for being detected by an electronic device, and each of the different predetermined sounds is configured to communicate a different command to the electronic device.
Claims19
A writing instrument comprising a plurality of retraction mechanisms, wherein each of the plurality of retraction mechanisms is configured to actuate a respective retractable writing tip, and the actuation of each retraction mechanism is configured to produce a different predetermined sound that is suitable for being detected by an electronic device,
- wherein the plurality of retraction mechanisms comprises a first retraction mechanism and a second retraction mechanism, and
- wherein the actuation of the first retraction mechanism is configured to emit a first predetermined sound commanding the electronic device to capture a photo or video, and the actuation of the second retraction mechanism is configured to emit a second predetermined sound commanding the electronic device to send the photo or video via SMS or email.
A writing instrument comprising a plurality of retraction mechanisms, wherein each of the plurality of retraction mechanisms is configured to actuate a respective retractable writing tip, and the actuation of each retraction mechanism is configured to produce a different predetermined sound that is suitable for being detected by an electronic device,
- wherein each of the plurality of retraction mechanisms comprises a button, and a length of each button and/or a length of the actuating path of each button is different from each other in order to produce the different predetermined sound.
A writing instrument comprising a plurality of retraction mechanisms, wherein each of the plurality of retraction mechanisms is configured to actuate a respective retractable writing tip, each retraction mechanism being configured to produce a different predetermined sound that is suitable for being detected by an electronic device.
