Aspects of the present disclosure relate to in-air control regions. Communication between an electronic pen and a device can be established. Two or more in-air control regions above the device can be defined, each in-air control region specifying a set of functions that can be performed by the electronic pen. A determination can be made that the electronic pen is within a first in-air control region of the two or more in-air control regions, the first in-air control region specifying a first set of functions that can be performed by the electronic pen. In response to input received from the electronic pen within the first in-air control region, at least one function of the first set of functions can be executed.
