Abstract:
An elongated stylus is configured to be capacitively coupled with a sensor array providing a plurality of electrodes to indicate a position on the sensor array. The stylus includes a housing having an end in an elongated direction of the housing, a conductive tip disposed at least partially extended from the end of the housing, an electrode disposed around the conductive tip and configured to at least partially expose the conductive tip, and a signal transmit drive circuit configured to provide a signal. Control is performed to form an electrical connection between the electrode and a ground and an electrical connection between the electrode and the signal transmit drive circuit when the elongated stylus is activated for capacitive coupling with the sensor array.

Claim (Index 14):
A capacitive position detection system comprising:\n (i) an active stylus configured to be capacitively coupled with a sensor array to indicate a position on the sensor array, the active stylus comprising: a housing having an end in an elongated direction of the housing; a first electrode disposed to at least partially extend from the end of the housing; a second electrode disposed around the first electrode; a signal transmit drive circuit configured to transmit a stylus signal to the sensor array; and a stylus controller configured to control transmission of the stylus signal to the sensor array via at least the first electrode and configured to electrically control the second electrode disposed around the first electrode; (ii) the sensor array including a first set of conductors disposed in a first direction and a second set of conductors disposed in a second direction different from the first direction, controlled by a sensor controller, wherein a finger and the active stylus are detectable on the sensor array based on transmission signals supplied to the first set of conductors and reception signals received in the second set of conductors and based on stylus signals transmitted from the active stylus and received in the first and second sets of conductors, wherein the sensor controller is configured to transmit a sensor signal to the active stylus to enable the stylus controller to synchronize the transmission of the stylus signal via the first electrode of the active stylus to the sensor array.
