Abstract:
A sensor controller can be used with both a first stylus that operates in a first communication mode and a second stylus that operates in a second communication mode. The sensor controller performs a dual mode discovery process in which a first discovery process and a second discovery process are alternately performed. During the first discovery process, the sensor controller transmits a search signal for detecting the first stylus. During the second discovery process, the sensor controller performs processing to detect a signal transmitted by the second stylus. When a response to the search signal that is transmitted by the first stylus is detected, an operating mode of the sensor controller is determined to be the first mode. When the signal transmitted by second stylus is detected, the operating mode of the sensor controller is determined to be the second mode.

Claim (Index 1):
An active stylus operable to transmit and receive signals to and from a sensor controller, via electrostatic coupling between the active stylus and a sensor to which the sensor controller is connected, wherein the sensor controller is capable of receiving one of a first pen signal and a second pen signal, the stylus comprising:\n one or more electrodes, a control circuit, which is connected to the one or more electrodes, transmits, via the one or more electrodes, one of the first pen signal and the second pen signal, and receives a control signal transmitted from the sensor controller, wherein the control circuit operates in one of: a first operation mode, which includes a first discovery mode and a first operation mode, wherein the first discovery mode executes detection operation of a first control signal transmitted from a first sensor controller capable of receiving the first pen signal, and the first operation mode repeatedly executes transmission of the first pen signal; a second operation mode, which repeatedly executes transmission of the second pen signal; a discovery mode which repeatedly executes detection operation of the control signal transmitted from the sensor controller, prior to entering into the first operation mode or the second operation mode and, in response to detecting the control signal, determines whether to transition to the first operation mode or to the second operation mode based on the control signal.
