Abstract
Computing devices are disclosed that use haptic technology to communicate data to a stylus device. This data may include, for example, updates to the stylus device, instructions on how the stylus should behave, authentication and identification information, and other data. This communication may also allow a stylus to implement security features and copy and paste functionality from one user device to another. In an aspect, the computing device includes a haptic element that provides a vibration force to the device or touchscreen of the device, and communicates data embedded on a carrier to the stylus. The stylus receives the vibration force through a pressure sensor on the stylus and used the information to enhance the user experience.
