This Apple Pencil, intended for use with an iPad to facilitate input to the electronic device, may feature a stylus body housing a battery, a first antenna for receiving broadcast signals that encompass video content, a second antenna for wireless communication with a remote electronic device, and an integrated processing system within the stylus body.

The processing system is likely to be designed to accept the broadcast signal from the first antenna and demodulate it, thereby generating a digital content signal that contains the video content.

Additionally, the Apple Pencil may incorporate a communication system within its body, which is tasked with receiving the digital content signal from the processing system, encoding it in accordance with the wireless communication protocol to create an encoded digital content signal, and transmitting this encoded signal to the remote electronic device through the second antenna.

The Apple Pencil is expected to handle the broadcast signals based on a specific processing scheme tailored for that type of signal and to encode the processed signals using a wireless communication protocol compatible with both the Apple Pencil and the iPad (such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi). Subsequently, the Apple Pencil would transmit the processed signals to the iPad via the established wireless communication protocol.
