Abstract
An optical sensing device for controlling a computer system is disclosed. The device has a nib for receiving a nib force upon the nib being pressed against a substrate and a nib switch coupled to the nib. An optical sensor images optically coded data printed on the substrate. A processor effects a mode change between a cursor control mode and a hyperlinking mode upon the nib force actuating the nib switch, generates cursor control data when the optical sensing device is in the cursor control mode, and generates interaction data when the optical sensing device is in the hyperlinking mode. The interaction data indicates a coordinate position of the optical sensing device relative to the substrate. The cursor control data or the interaction data is then communicated to the computer system, where the cursor control data initiates a cursor control response and the interaction data initiates a hyperlinking response.
