Abstract
A user input on a panel can be realized by detecting, by the panel, at least a first electromagnetic signal output by a pen device and, responsive to detecting the first electromagnetic signal output by the pen device, initiating at least a first process of a plurality of processes based on detecting the first electromagnetic signal output by the pen device.
Claims31
A method for realizing a user input on a panel, comprising:
- detecting, by the panel, at least a first electromagnetic signal output by a pen device;
- and
- responsive to detecting the first electromagnetic signal output by the pen device, initiating at least a first process of a plurality of processes based on detecting the first electromagnetic signal output by the pen device.
A method of outputting at least a first electromagnetic signal by a pen device, comprising:
- outputting at least a first electromagnetic signal by the pen device, wherein detection of the first electromagnetic signal causes initiation of a first process of a plurality of processes at a device.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor, in response to executing the instructions, is configured to initiate operations for realizing a user input on a panel including:
- detecting, by the panel, at least a first electromagnetic signal output by a pen device;
- and
- responsive to detecting the first electromagnetic signal output by the pen device, initiating at least a first process of a plurality of processes based on detecting the first electromagnetic signal output by the pen device.
A pen device, comprising:
- at least component that outputs at least a first electromagnetic signal by the pen device, wherein detection of the first electromagnetic signal causes initiation of a first process of a plurality of processes at an apparatus.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon for realizing a user input on a panel, the program code executable by a processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting, by the panel, at least a first electromagnetic signal output by a pen device;
- and
- responsive to detecting the first electromagnetic signal output by the pen device, initiating at least a first process of a plurality of processes based on detecting the first electromagnetic signal output by the pen device.
