Abstract:
An input device outfitted with one or more ultrasonic transducers can determine the location of one or more objects in contact with the input device. For example, the input device can include one or more transducers disposed in a ring around the circumference of the input device or in an array of rings along the length of the input device. The ultrasonic transducers can be used to detect the position of the one or more touching objects in at least one dimension, for example. In some examples, the one or more ultrasonic transducers can produce directional ultrasonic waves.

Claim (Index 1):
A stylus comprising:\n a shaft; a tip coupled to an end of the shaft; one or more ultrasonic transducers coupled to the shaft, the one or more ultrasonic transducers configured to transmit one or more transmitted ultrasonic waves and to sense one or more sensed ultrasonic waves; and a touch controller operatively coupled to the one or more ultrasonic transducers, the touch controller configured to generate the one or more transmitted ultrasonic waves and determine a position in at least one dimension of an object touching an exterior surface of the shaft based on one or more characteristics of the one or more sensed ultrasonic waves.
