Claims17
An input pen for a touch-sensitive medical monitor, comprising:
- a grip portion;
- and
- an input portion configured for contacting a touch sensitive surface, wherein the input portion comprises one-dimensional and two-dimensional monitor contact sections, the one-dimensional and two-dimensional monitor contact sections positionally fixed with respect to each other, and wherein both the one-dimensional and two-dimensional monitor contact sections are arranged on the same input portion.
An input system comprising:
- a touch-sensitive monitor equipped with a signal receiver;
- and
- an input pen, comprising a grip portion, a signal emitter, and an input portion configured for contacting a touch sensitive surface, wherein the input portion comprises one-dimensional and two-dimensional monitor contact sections, and wherein both the one-dimensional and two-dimensional monitor contact sections are arranged on the same input portion, and
- wherein said signal receiver is configured to identify changes in the position of the input portion from signals received from the signal emitter.
