Abstract
A device for the operation of a digitizer includes a data input, an evaluation unit, and a data output. The evaluation unit is configured, in connection with the data input, to ascertain an approach by an input medium toward the digitizer without contact with the digitizer via an optical sensor. The evaluation unit is configured to transition the digitizer, in connection with the data output and in response to the data input, from a sleep mode to an operating mode.

A method for operating a digitizer comprising a touch-sensitive input area, comprising the steps of:
- ascertaining an approach by an input medium toward the digitizer without contact with the digitizer via an optical sensor, and in response:
- switching the operational state of the digitizer from a sleep mode to an operating mode.
An apparatus for the operation of a digitizer, comprising:
- a data input,
- an evaluation unit, and
- a data output, wherein
- the evaluation unit is configured, in connection with the data input, to ascertain an approach by an input medium toward the digitizer without contact with the digitizer via an optical sensor, and
- the evaluation unit is configured to transition the digitizer, in connection with the data output and in response to the data input, from a sleep mode to an operating mode.
A system for operating a digitizer comprising a touch-sensitive input area, comprising:
- a data input;
- a data output;
- a processor;
- a memory in communication with the processor, the memory storing a plurality of instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to:
- ascertain, in connection with the data input, an approach by an input medium toward the digitizer without contact with the digitizer via an optical sensor, and in response:
- switch the operational state of the digitizer, in connection with the data output and in response to the data input, from a sleep mode to an operating mode.
