Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), seems to have solved a very old pen problem, and filed a patent. It was published today by the USPTO, and as it seems the term "communication stylus" is undoubtedly the best application of the concept that exists to date.
The project is currently only on paper, but the technology for the construction of devices is already available.
Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has examined all existing ones solutions και κατέληξε στο συμπέρασμα ότι “το πρόβλημα με όλα τα διαφορετικά είδη γραφίδων είναι ότι όλα απαιτούν από τον χρήστη να γράψει σε μια εξειδικευμένη επιφάνεια”, προσθέτοντας ότι ΄”υπάρχει ανάγκη για μια γραφίδα που θα μπορεί να εισάγει δεδομένα σε μια υπολογιστική συσκευή, ανεξάρτητα από την επιφάνεια με την οποία usesyes.”
The company therefore wants to create a stylus pen with accelerators that will operate your position sensors, providing tips for writing, a transmitter and a receiver, so that the user can be connected with accessories and add-ons.
In fact, the stylus will understand the movement of the hand, and will understand what the user is trying to write or draw by interpreting the changes in place, and transferring the results to a computer or smartphone.
Of course, this idea is not entirely new and such styluses are already in the market. However, Apple's is a refined version and considering how much the Apple 4.0 Apple loves, if it makes the project a reality, it will be the first device of its kind to boast of its long battery life.
