Active pen, position detection system, and integrated circuit

Abstract

To prevent drawing by pen input from stopping due to a failure in receiving an uplink signal, an active pen according to the present disclosure includes a processing circuit that transmits, at a second timing decided based on a first timing of a first uplink signal received from a sensor controller, a position signal and a data signal from a pen-tip electrode and receives a second uplink signal, and a wireless communication circuit that wirelessly communicates with the sensor controller. The processing circuit determines whether the second uplink signal has been received at the second timing, and in a case of determining that the second uplink signal has not been received, the processing circuit transmits at least part of the data signal via the wireless communication circuit while transmitting the position signal from the pen-tip electrode.
