Abstract
There is provided a system and method for a kinetically chargeable stylus device for use with an interactive device. The method comprises charging the kinetically chargeable stylus device using one of a first mode and a second mode, wherein the first mode includes receiving a movement of a magnet in relation to an inductor, inducing a first electrical current in the inductor from the movement, and charging an energy storage unit using the first electrical current, and wherein the second mode includes inducing a second electrical current in the inductor from a non-kinetic source, and charging the energy storage unit using the second electrical current. Prior to inducing the second electrical current in the inductor, the magnet may be isolated from the inductor. Further, a movement of the stylus device may be detected using the inductor and the magnet.
