Abstract:
A position detector includes a position pointer having an AC signal generation circuit that is disposed in a housing and that transmits an AC signal, and a sensor that receives the AC signal. The position detector detects the position pointed to by the position pointer on the sensor. The position pointer includes at least three electrodes electrically isolated from each other, and a control circuit that controls so that the AC signal is selectively supplied to the electrodes, and so that identification information identifying the electrode to which the AC signal is selectively supplied is generated and transmitted to the sensor. The position detector further includes a position detection circuit that detects the position based on the AC signal, and an angular information calculation circuit that calculates the rotation angle and/or the tilt angle of the position pointer based on the AC signal and the identification information.

Claim (Index 13):
A position detector comprising:\n a sensor defining a sensor surface and including a plurality of first conductors arranged in a first direction and a plurality of second conductors arranged in a second direction different from the first direction, wherein the sensor, in operation, receives an AC (alternating current) signal transmitted from a pen-shaped position pointer, a position detection circuit which, in operation, detects a position indicated by the pen-shaped position pointer on the sensor surface based on the AC signal, which is transmitted from a first electrode positioned on an axis of the pen-shaped position pointer in a tip portion of the pen-shaped position pointer and received by the sensor, and an angular information calculation circuit which, in operation, calculates at least a tilt angle of the pen-shaped position pointer relative to the sensor surface based on the AC signal transmitted from the first electrode of the pen-shaped position pointer when a second electrode of the pen-shaped position pointer, which is positioned separately from the first electrode in the tip portion of the pen-shaped position pointer, is selectively set to a defined potential.
