Claim 7:
8. A position detecting system comprising:
a stylus; and
a position detecting apparatus that detects a position pointed to by the stylus,
wherein the stylus includes:
a first wireless communication device which, in operation, performs communication at a communication range that is longer than a predetermined distance, and

wherein the position detecting apparatus includes:
a second processor which, in operation, shares an identifier (ID) that is included in an uplink signal transmitted to the stylus while the stylus and the position detecting apparatus are proximate to each other at or within the predetermined distance, the ID uniquely identifying the position detecting apparatus, and
a second wireless communication device which, in operation, performs communication with the first wireless communication device,

wherein a communication range of the second wireless communication device of the position detecting apparatus is shorter than the communication range of the first wireless communication device of the stylus,
wherein the stylus includes a first processor which, in operation, establishes a pairing connection with the position detecting apparatus in response to the first wireless communication device receiving a pairing connection request including information including the ID from the position detecting apparatus.
