It should be noted that the software is the communication software in steps S11 to S16 in FIG. 1C, and is referred to as this software hereinafter.

Next, in step S24, the software extracts or interprets the selected data display area 103 to obtain at least one piece of data. The implementation of step S24 will vary depending on the data displayed in the data display area 103. In this embodiment, the following examples are used to illustrate step S24, but the present invention is not limited accordingly. Example 1: When the content displayed in the data display area 103 includes a sentence, word, Internet link or picture (or image), this software can extract the sentence, word, or picture (or image) in the data display area 103 Image), and form at least one piece of data from the extracted sentence, word, Internet link or picture (or image). Example 2: When the content displayed in the data display area 103 includes the icon of a file or folder and other data that needs to be interpreted before use, this software can interpret the icon of the file or folder, and set the file or folder icon The content (which may include file attributes) forms a piece of data. Example 3: When the data display area 103 shows the address book, this software can interpret that the user wants to make a call.

Then, in step S25, the software transmits the data to the stylus pen 11 through the wireless data communication channel. The data transmitted in step S25 may be files, sentences, words, pictures, Internet links, etc., as exemplified in step S24. Alternatively, the software uses the touch device 10 to make a call and causes the touch pen 11 to receive a voice stream (for example, 3G voice) from the touch device 10. It should be noted that if the stylus 11 needs to receive a voice stream for the user to use the stylus 11 as a microphone, the stylus may further include a radio unit or amplifying unit such as earphones and microphones.

Then, in step S26, after the stylus 11 receives the data, the data is stored in the memory unit (not shown) of the stylus 11 or the data is displayed through the display unit 111 on the stylus 11 . The memory unit of the stylus 11 can be a register or a non-volatile memory (for example, flash memory). From the above steps S21 to S26, the user can store the data displayed on the touch device 10 by operating the stylus pen 11, or display the data displayed on the touch device 10 on the display unit 111 of the stylus pen 11. superior.

[Second Embodiment]

Please refer to FIG. 1B and FIG. 3 at the same time. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a wireless transmission method of a stylus with wireless storage and forwarding capabilities according to a second embodiment of the present invention. This method includes the following steps. First, in step S31, the stylus 11 (referred to as stylus 11) with wireless transmission function is used to touch the touch screen 10a of the touch device 10 to select the data display area 103 displayed on the touch device 10 . Then, in step S32, the touch pen 11 is caused to touch the touch screen 10a of the touch device 10 to activate the software of the touch device 10. Then, in step S33, the software extracts or interprets the selected data display area 103 to obtain at least one piece of data. The data may be the key function table of the switch 112 of the stylus pen 11 or the data described in step S24 in the first embodiment.

Next, in step S34, it is determined whether the touch pen 11 and the touch device 10 need to establish a wireless data communication channel. The wireless data communication channel may be the wireless data communication channel in step S11 of the previous embodiment, which will not be repeated here. Step S34 is used to determine whether the touch pen 11 and the touch device 10 have established a wireless data communication channel. When the user has established a wireless data communication channel when using the stylus 11 to operate the touch device 10 previously (before the start of step S11), a new wireless data communication channel may not be established again to reduce the use of communication channels and simplify Communication process. In other words, the communication between the stylus 11 and the touch device 10 can use the previously established (or called predetermined) wireless data communication channel.

It should be noted that since in step S34, the touch device 10 is sending data, it is more efficient for the software of the touch device 10 to determine whether to establish a wireless data communication channel. For example: when the software of the touch device 10 finds that the touch device 10 and the stylus 11 have not yet established a wireless data communication channel, the software will display a prompt icon for establishing a wireless data communication channel on the touch screen 10a. When the user sees the prompt icon, the user can switch the switch 112 on the stylus 11 so that the stylus 11 and the touch device 10 establish a wireless data communication channel. However, the present invention is not limited accordingly, and the stylus 11 may also be responsible for determining whether to establish a wireless data communication channel. For example, after step S33 is completed, the user switches the switch 112 on the stylus 11 so that the stylus 11 actively establishes a wireless data communication channel with the touch device 10. Those with general knowledge in the field should be able to infer the implementation mode, and will not be repeated. After step S34 is completed, if the touch pen 11 and the touch device 10 are to establish a wireless data communication channel, step S35 is performed; otherwise, step S36 is directly performed.

Then, in step S35, the software establishes a wireless data communication channel between the stylus pen 11 and the touch device 10. Then, in step S36, the software transmits the data to the stylus 11 through the wireless data communication channel.

Furthermore, in step S37, after the stylus 11 receives the data, the wireless data communication channel is closed or not closed. Whether the wireless data communication channel is closed or not can be set by the user or by the software setting on the touch device that sends the data. Closing the data communication channel can save the wireless bandwidth occupied by the data communication channel or save the power required when opening the data communication channel. Step S37 can provide the flexibility of the wireless link between the stylus 11 and the touch device 10.

Then, in step S38, after the stylus 11 receives the data, it stores the data in the memory unit (not shown) of the stylus 11 or displays the data through the display unit 111 on the stylus 11 , Or the stylus 11 changes the function of at least one switch 112 on the stylus 11 according to the data. The difference between step S38 and step S16 of the previous embodiment is that step S38 can change the function represented by the switch on the stylus 11. In other words, according to the pen data received by the stylus pen 11, the stylus pen 11 can change the function of the switch 112, thereby changing the operation mode of the stylus pen 11. When the data is the key function table of the switch 112 of the stylus pen 11, the stylus pen 11 can update the key function table of the memory (that is, stored in the memory unit (not shown)), thereby changing the switch 112's key function table. Function. For example: the original switcher 112 has the A button, and when the A button is continuously pressed for one second, the stylus 11 can send the left mouse button function to the touch device 10 (the touch device can be a touch function computer). After the button function table is updated, the function of the A button of the switch 112 is changed to that when the A button is pressed, the stylus 11 sends a command to the touch device 10 to start an application, such as a multimedia player.

For the type of the switch 112, refer to the description of the previous embodiment. The function represented by the switch 112 may be, for example, switching the display content of the display unit 111 and switching the wireless data communication channel established by the stylus 11 and the touch device 10. Alternatively, when the stylus 11 has a speaker or a microphone (not shown), the switch 112 may also be used to switch the operating volume of the speaker or the microphone.

In addition, the switch 112 of the stylus 11 can also control the application program of the touch device 10 through the wireless data communication channel, so that the stylus 11 can be used as a remote control of the touch device 10. In short, the present invention does not limit the functions represented by the switch 112.

Then, in step S42, the touch pen 11 is made to touch the touch screen of the touch device 10 to select the data display area displayed on the touch device 10. Next, in step S43, the stylus pen 11 is made to touch the touch screen of the touch device 10 to activate the software of the touch device 10. Next, in step S44, the software extracts or interprets the selected data display area to obtain at least one piece of data. The data may be the firmware of the stylus, the address book of the stylus or the touch device, or the data described in step S24 in the first embodiment.

Then, in step S45, the software compares the data with a corresponding data stored in the stylus 11 through the wireless data communication channel, and the corresponding data is synchronized with the data to update the data, and The software stores the updated data in the touch device 10. In other words, when the pen data is the firmware of the stylus, the firmware of the stylus can be updated according to the above steps. When the data is an address book, the communication path between the stylus 11 and the touch device 10 can be synchronized or updated. The communication path may include information such as a telephone number, an e-mail box and the user to which it belongs.

Then, in step S46, after the stylus pen 11 receives the data, the data is stored in the memory unit (not shown) of the stylus 11 or the data is displayed through the display unit 111 on the stylus 11 . Step S46 may be the same as step S26 of the first embodiment, and will not be described again. Through the above steps S41 to S46, the data stored on the touch pen 11 can be synchronized with the data stored in the touch device 10, and the touch pen 11 can store the latest data accordingly. For example: new firmware, address book, etc.

Next, in step S94, the software extracts or interprets the selected data display area to obtain at least one piece of data. Then, in step S95, the software transmits the data to the stylus 11 through the wireless data communication channel. The above steps S91 to S95 are roughly the same as the steps S71 to S75 of the sixth embodiment. The only difference is that the step S91 establishes a wireless data communication channel between the stylus 11 and the touch device 51, and among the wireless communication devices 52 to 54 One has not yet established a corresponding wireless data communication channel with the stylus 11.

Next, in step S96, it is determined whether the stylus 11 and the wireless communication devices 52-54 want to establish a second wireless data communication channel. It should be noted that, since in step S96, the stylus pen 11 is sending data, it is more efficient for the stylus pen 11 to determine whether to establish a second wireless data communication channel, but the present invention is not limited accordingly, and is responsible for It may also be the wireless communication devices 52-54 that determine whether to establish the second wireless data communication channel. If the stylus 11 and one of the wireless communication devices 52 to 54 are to establish a second wireless data communication channel, step S97 is performed; otherwise, step S98 is directly performed.

Then, in step S97, a second wireless data communication channel is established between the stylus 11 and the wireless communication device (for example, one of the wireless communication devices 52 to 54). Then, in step S98, the stylus 11 transmits the data to the wireless communication device.
