Abstract: A touch stylus capable of detecting pressure on its tip is disclosed in the present disclosure. The touch stylus includes a body, a tip, and a pressure sensing module disposed between the body and the tip for detecting a pressure on the tip. The pressure sensing module includes a lighting unit, a pressure sensing unit connected to the tip, and a controller electrically connected to the lighting unit and the pressure sensing unit. The pressure sensing unit detects a movement of the tip relative to the body, and generates a corresponding electrical signal. The controller receives the electrical signal to drive the lighting unit for generating a corresponding optical signal. A scintillating frequency of the optical signal and a value of the electrical signal are in direct proportion, and an optical detector can transform the optical signal into the pressure on the tip.

Abstract: A method includes detecting a signal at a first set of receivers of a plurality of receivers of a device. The plurality of receivers includes the first set of receivers and a second set of receivers. The first set of receivers corresponds to selected receivers and the second set of receivers corresponds to non-selected receivers. The method includes predicting, based on the signal, an expected blockage of a signal path between a source of the signal and a first selected receiver of the first set of receivers, and selecting a particular receiver of the second set of receivers as a newly selected receiver in response to predicting the expected blockage.

Abstract: Disclosed is a touchscreen antenna system and a method of designing a touchscreen antenna system. The system and method are operative to integrate an antenna with one or more touchscreen components to render a compact and effective system and to provide a more robust operation. The system is configured such that an antenna element, comprising a radiating component or an antenna feeding portion, is electromagnetically coupled to a touchscreen element, including a touch sensor, a touch sensor line, and other active or passive elements of a touchscreen module. Accordingly, the system is capable to mitigate adverse effects, when operating in an environment or under conditions that may affect other systems or be susceptible to being affected by other sources, by designing antenna and touchscreen elements as an integrated unit. Additionally, the system and method provide an enhanced antenna system performance by incorporating touchscreen elements as part of the antenna design.
