Abstract
Disclosed is a detection method performed by a sensor controller connected to a sensor including a plurality of sensor electrodes, the method detecting, with use of the sensor, a position of a passive pointer that does not transmit a signal and a position of an active pen that transmits a pen signal from a pen electrode provided on an end of the active pen. The method includes acquiring a pen pressure value indicating pressure applied to a pen tip of the active pen, and controlling an operation mode of the sensor controller according to the pen pressure value.
