Abstract
A sensor system that detects a stylus is provided in an electronic apparatus, which includes a first housing, a second housing, a connector that connects the first housing and the second housing to each other, and a host processor. The sensor system includes a first sensor electrode group fixed to the first housing, and a second sensor electrode group fixed to the second housing. When the stylus is not detected, an uplink signal is transmitted through each of the first and second sensor electrode groups. When a downlink signal by which the stylus is detected that is transmitted from the stylus is detected by the first sensor electrode groups, the transmission of the uplink signal through the first sensor electrode group is continued while transmission of the uplink signal through the second sensor electrode groups is stopped.
