Abstract:
A position pointer includes a signal generation circuit, which generates at least one signal. The position pointer in operation transmits the at least one signal to a sensor of a position detector. The position pointer includes a first electrode arranged to protrude from one end portion of a pen-shaped housing along an axial center direction and a second electrode including at least three electrode pieces disposed near the first electrode in such a manner as to surround a central axis of the housing. The at least three electrode pieces are electrically isolated from each other. The position pointer has a signal supply control circuit, which, in operation, controls supply of signals to selectively supply the at least one signal to the second electrode that includes the at least three electrode pieces and to the first electrode.

Claim (Index 1):
A position pointer including a pen-shaped housing and configured to point to a position on a sensor, which is coupled to a position detector, based on capacitive coupling between the position pointer and the sensor, the position pointer comprising:\n a first electrode arranged to extend from one axial end of the pen-shaped housing; a second electrode arranged adjacent to the first electrode to surround an axis of the pen-shaped housing; a signal generation circuit configured to generate information that identifies the position pointer and generate position signals; a signal supply control circuit configured to control supply of the information and the position signals generated by the signal generation circuit to the position detector; and a control signal reception circuit configured to receive a control signal transmitted from the position detector, wherein, the signal supply control circuit is capable of entering a first operation mode, in which a tip of the position pointer points to a position on a sensor surface of the sensor, or a second operation mode different from the first operation mode, based on the control signal transmitted from the position detector and received by the control signal reception circuit; and the signal supply control circuit, in the first operation mode, controls transmission of the position signals from the first electrode and the second electrode, respectively, and, in the second operation mode, controls transmission of at least the information that identifies the position pointer to the position detector.
