Abstract

A stylus structure includes a stylus housing unit, a stylus cover unit, a control unit, and a barrier unit. The stylus housing unit has an accommodating space and an opening that are in spatial communication with each other. The stylus cover unit is detachably sleeved on the stylus housing unit. The control unit includes a processing component and a trigger component electrically connected to the processing component. The barrier unit in the accommodating space contacts the trigger component, and therefore the processing component is in a power OFF state. In another aspect, the stylus structure includes a stylus housing unit, a control unit, and a barrier unit. The control unit includes a processing component and electrically connects to a trigger component. The barrier unit in the stylus housing unit contacts the trigger component, and therefore the processing component is in a power OFF state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A stylus structure, comprising:
a stylus housing unit having an accommodating space and an opening, the opening being in spatial communication with the accommodating space;
a stylus cover unit detachably sleeved on the stylus housing unit;
a control unit including a processing component located in the accommodating space and a trigger component electrically connected to the processing component; and
a barrier unit located in the accommodating space, the barrier unit being in contact with the trigger component;
wherein the processing component is in a power OFF state when the trigger component is in contact with the barrier unit;
wherein the trigger component includes a first conductive member and a second conductive member that are electrically connected to the processing component, the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in contact with the barrier unit so as to be in the circuit OFF state, and the processing component is in the power OFF state when the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in the circuit OFF state.

2. The stylus structure according to claim 1 , wherein the processing component has a conductive part, the barrier unit is away from the first conductive member and the second conductive member so that the first conductive member and the second conductive member are electrically connected to each other through the conductive part, and the processing component changes to an operating state when the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in the circuit ON state.

3. A stylus structure, comprising:
a stylus housing unit;
a control unit including a processing component located in the stylus housing unit, the control unit being electrically connected to a trigger component of the processing component; and
a barrier unit located in the stylus housing unit, the barrier unit being in contact with the trigger component;
wherein the processing component is in a power OFF state when the trigger component is in contact with the barrier unit;
wherein the trigger component includes a first conductive member and a second conductive member that are electrically connected to the processing component, the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in contact with the barrier unit so as to be in a circuit OFF state, and the processing component is in the power OFF state when the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in the circuit OFF state.

4. The stylus structure according to claim 3 , wherein the processing component has a conductive part, the barrier unit is away from the first conductive member and the second conductive member so that the first conductive member and the second conductive member are electrically connected to each other through the conductive part, and the processing component changes to an operating state when the first conductive member and the second conductive member are in the circuit ON state.
