Patent ID: 7227539

Claim:
An electronic pen device for a computer platform, the computer platform comprising a display unit and an input-sensing unit, allowing a user to input handwriting data and/or graphs on the input-sensing unit via the electronic pen device to the computer platform, the electronic pen device comprising: a micro-processing unit (MPU); a storage unit coupled to the MPU, for storing a plurality of color-corresponding codes; an input unit electrically coupled to the MPU, for allowing the user to set a display color for the handwriting data and/or graphs to be displayed on the display unit, and generating a signal corresponding to the set display color; and a signal output module located at one end of the electronic pen device and electrically coupled to the MPU and the input-sensing unit of the computer platform, for receiving the signal from the input unit to allow the MPU to search one of the color-corresponding codes from the storage unit corresponding to the signal from the input unit, such that the MPU sends out a color signal corresponding to the searched color-corresponding code to the signal output module that further transmits the color signal to the input-sensing unit of the computer platform, and the computer platform enables the display unit to display the user's handwriting data and/or graphs in the set display color according to the color signal.
