Abstract
A method is provided for communication between a host processor and an active stylus via a sensor controller, wherein the sensor controller is coupled to a sensor configured to interact with the active stylus. The method includes generally three steps. First, the host processor transmits a command received from an application operating on the host processor. Second, the sensor controller receives the command from the host processor and forwards the command to the active stylus. Third, the active stylus, in response to the command, operates on the command and transmits a command response to the sensor controller.
