    Abstract: A digital pen that has an ink writing tip includes a laser on a pen body that directs light toward paper across which the writing tip is stroked. A diffraction grating reflects a reference beam and passes a scattered beam from the substrate toward translation detectors, which consequently receive interference patterns of light. A processor receives the signals from the detectors, generates position signals, and stores the signals. Also, a bar code detector receives a bar code beam from the substrate, and a three dimensional force sensor outputs a signal representative of multidimensional forces applied to the pen. Subsequently, the signals are uploaded to a host processor which combines them to produce rotation-corrected relative positions (if no bar coded paper is used) or rotation- corrected absolute positions (if bar coded paper is used) that can be used to render alpha-numeric characters or graphical representations.

    Abstract: A structure is provided for a user-manipulable input device, such as an in-keyboard, joystick-type device, for allowing a user to provide input to a computer graphical user interface (GUI). The structure includes a user-manipulable, articulating member 20, and a plurality of stationary, electrically conductive sensors 30. The articulating member also has an electrically conductive member. The physical disposition of the articulating member and the sensors provides narrow gaps 33, across which are measurable capacitances. As the user manipulates the articulating member, the capacitances change in value. Circuitry produces signals related to the capacitances, and the signals are processed, according to a transfer function, to generate GUI input signals. The sensors are preferably sensing electrodes, incorporated into a circuit board 28. The articulating member is preferably a cone-shaped member 22, having a conductive surface which faces the sensors. The articulating member is mechanically coupled to the board holding the sensors by a flexing member 32 that biases the articulating member to a quiescent position.

    Abstract: A DIGITAL PEN (10) THAT HAS AN INK WRITING TIP (28) INCLUDES A LASER (32) ON A PEN BODY (14) THAT DIRECTS LIGHT TOWARD PAPER ACROSS WHICH THE WRITING TIP IS STROKED. A DIFFRACTION GRATING (40) REFLECTS A REFERENCE BEAM (48) AND PASSES A SCATTERED BEAM (36) FROM THE SUBSTRATE (12) TOWARD TRANSLATION DETECTORS (42-46), WHICH CONSEQUENTLY RECEIVE INTERFERENCE PATTERNS OF LIGHT. A PROCESSOR (22) RECEIVES THE SIGNALS FROM THE DETECTORS, GENERATES POSITION SIGNALS, AND STORES THE SIGNALS. ALSO, A BAR CODE DETECTOR (50) RECEIVES A BAR CODE BEAM (38) FROM THE SUBSTRATE, AND A THREE DIMENSIONAL FORCE SENSOR OUTPUTS A SIGNAL REPRESENTATIVE OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL FORCES APPLIED TO THE PEN. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE SIGNALS ARE UPLOADED TO A HOST PROCESSOR (31) WHICH COMBINES THEM TO PRODUCE ROTATION-CORRECTED RELATIVE POSITIONS (IF NO BAR CODED PAPER IS USED) OR ROTATION-CORRECTED ABSOLUTE POSITIONS (IF BAR CODED PAPER IS USED) THAT CAN BE USED TO RENDER ALPHA-NUMERIC CHARACTERS OR GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONS.FIGURE 1.
