Abstract

A reception unit () sequentially selects a plurality of sensor coils and receives a signal from a position indicator via the sensor coil that has been selected, and an operational circuit () detects, using an amplitude value and a phase value of the signal received by the reception unit () via each of the plurality of sensor coils, coordinates of a position indicated by the position indicator and a writing force of the position indicator. When the sensor () includes a sensor capacitor, a transmission unit () outputs a signal to the sensor capacitor, the reception unit () receives a signal generated at a connecting point between the sensor capacitor and the transmission unit (), and the operational circuit () detects whether a touch key corresponding to the sensor capacitor has been touched using a phase value of the signal received by the reception unit ().
