This is a smart pen designed to read invisible infrared ink on a page. It contains both a regular ink cartridge and a stylus, which can be extended by twisting the pen top. Inside, an infrared light illuminates the page, and a sensor reads the reflected light to decode information. The pen also measures the force applied by the stylus or cartridge using an infrared photodiode and reflectors.
Why it matters: Filed before the widespread miniaturization and cost reduction of infrared optics, image sensors, and low-power RF communication. Modern components make this device far more compact and affordable to produce.
