1. A pairing method between a stylus and a position detecting apparatus that detects a position pointed to by the stylus, the method comprising:
transmitting, by the position detecting apparatus, an identifier (ID) to the stylus using a second wireless communication device of the position detecting apparatus while the stylus and the position detecting apparatus are proximate to each other at or within a predetermined distance, the ID uniquely identifying the position detecting apparatus; and
establishing, by the stylus and the position detecting apparatus, a pairing connection between the stylus and the position detecting apparatus in response to the stylus receiving a pairing connection request including information including the ID via a first wireless communication device of the stylus having a communication range that is longer than the predetermined distance,
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.
