Claim 17:
18. The control method according to claim 17, wherein:
the position detection sensor includes a plurality of first loop coils disposed in a first direction and a plurality of second loop coils disposed in a second direction crossing the first direction; and
the method further includes:
performing a second control process that includes specifying a specified first loop coil which is to transmit a third signal from among the plurality of first loop coils and the plurality of second loop coils and supplying the third signal to the specified first loop coil, specifying a specified second loop coil which is to receive a fourth signal from among the plurality of first loop coils and the plurality of second loop coils, and receiving the fourth signal through the specified second loop coil;
detecting the position indicated by the electronic pen on the position detection sensor based on the fourth signal received through the specified second loop coil; and

controlling, while detecting that the electronic pen is accommodated in the accommodation portion, to not perform the second control process and the detecting of the position indicated by the electronic pen through the position detection sensor.
