On May 25 message, a when malic company announces today new patent applies for a suggestion, this company did not come or will roll out " the Apple Pencil that searchs me " function, this function uses the Apple Pencil with missing fixed position of sound wave signal. Interesting is, the method that malic company describes was not used exceed broadband chip, use sound wave signal however.

At present the user can be used " search me (Find My) " application will track most apple equipment, but do not include Apple Pencil, this one case may be not changed. American patent and brand bureau announced a patent application that comes from malic company today, involve add Apple Pencil or equipment of other periphery input " search me " in the list that facilities serves.

Patent shows, the Apple Pencil with missing fixed position or equipment of other periphery input can be passed compositive the acoustics resonator inside pen housing construction will come true, acoustics resonator can be put in in nib contrary pen is carried, and can be the one part of crust, these parts are decreased thin to the project ply that has specific resonance behavior or frequency.

In a few example that give out in the apple, electronic equipment can send positional request to the pen, and can invite a pen generate sound wave signal for designation target detector through acoustics resonator.

Resonance frequency is to point to an object the frequency with vibration of the biggest amplitude, the user may have experienced this kind of phenomenon on plane or train, when an object that goes up when tray begins wild land vibration suddenly, because the resonance frequency photograph of the frequency of car generation and object matchs,this is. The sound wave signal that the resonance frequency photograph that the IPhone generation that of patent description is use user carries a lid with Apple Pencil matchs, make its oscillatory. Although this is a kind of relatively rough location method, but have a few profit, namely already petty gain occupies a space scarcely again.

This kind of method cannot help an user find the Apple Pencil that forgets beyond, because need to be inside sound wave limits, nevertheless this can help an user find the Apple Pencil beside at least.
