Four facts take you into the ipen Touch pen technology

According to foreign media reports, Apple has recently filed a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, mainly about Ipen stylus technology, and Apple users are scratching their heads for Apple's new technology, and Apple is ready to learn the Microsoft Tablet Pc,galaxy Note A touch pen for the tablet? Or will the Ipen patent bring any startling changes to Apple and the PC industry? Below, we use four facts to unlock Ipen's mystery:

1. What is Ipen?

Tactile feedback technology allows users to experience tactile feedback by creating vibrations, and the original tactile feedback technology is applied to the phone, which prompts the caller by vibration. A more advanced approach to existing tactile feedback technology is used on the Microsoft Xbox controller, which generates actions on the screen by rumbling and vibrating, and Microsoft does well in this respect, and Apple's ipen tactile feedback technology resembles an Xbox controller.

The Apple patent describes the product as "rewriting the writing experience of the physical brush." When you use a real brush, vibration and friction will tell you the texture of the paper, the thickness of the paint, the roughness of the brush, the strength of the pen and other subtle information, and Apple ipen is to achieve this effect.

The patent also says that when ipen across the screen, it also tells you what it is. The buttons, the work range, and the other buttons on the screen are also "boundary" and "texture" because of the tactile feedback technology.

2. Why is it a pen?

Apple is not going to follow the example of a product that other companies are doing, nor does it dare to dabble in a product that other companies have done.

The reason why Apple does the tactile technology pen is because it has a good idea, Apple has led PC fashion with touch-screen technology, but illustrators, architects, designers, animators, and picture editors are unable to actually implement finger painting and image processing, and they now have a pen, Finally can be in the leading fashion of the flat on the real draw their fashion.

Ordinary users can also use it to sign documents, graffiti, handwritten notes, annotate documents and pictures, and the whole process is as simple and fun as graffiti.

3. Why not use tactile feedback technology?

Apple's core competitiveness is the "trembling" user interface, and tactile feedback technology is one of the weapons that Apple continues to Shong, but it is not unique to Apple. High fidelity tactile feedback technology will be widely applied to every mobile phone, tablet and mobile PC in the future.

IPen is also not Apple's first tactile technology patent, and Apple has had several tactile-feedback patents for touch-device applications before.

The fact is that Apple is aggressively attacking tactile feedback technology, and is ready to apply it to all of Apple's devices in order to make the virtual touch of the user world more authentic.

4. Why did the IPen designer Ive design it?

Apple's chief designer, Ive, said in a report this week that "what I do now, I feel is the most important, and also the best job I have ever done." "Cultofmac editor Mike Elgan, according to Ive's report, boldly predicts that future tactile technology will reach this level:

1. With your finger through the surface of the screen, you can according to the buzz and bump ups and downs to identify where the button, where is the file, the sensory stimulation will make you think you touch is the kind.

2. After a gesture pulls out the virtual keyboard, you can blind because the tactile technique allows you to tell whether this is an F or a J.

3. A better touch interface than the ipad's existing interface, keyboard options will be unbelievable. The main interface will be the Siri app with voice commands, and as long as you talk, Siri will tell you who you are and what you are talking about.

4. Receive an email and you can sign it by grabbing your ipen, and feeling your signature on the paper on the Oak desk.

Simply put, what ive is doing is not a ipen so simple, in the future, because of tactile feedback technology, we can see omnipotent Apple products, it will be superior to imac,ipad,iphone.
