Abstract
A magnetic sensor system includes a magnetic sensor device and a signal processing circuit. The magnetic sensor device generates first to third detection signals corresponding to components in three directions a field generated by a magnetic field generator that is able to change its relative position with respect to the magnetic sensor device. The signal processing circuit includes first and second processors. The second processor generates sphere information and transmits it to the first processor. When coordinates representing a set of values of the first to third detection signals in an orthogonal coordinate system are taken as a measurement point, the sphere information includes data on center coordinates of a virtual sphere having a spherical surface approximating a distribution of a plurality of measurement points. The first processor detects a change in offsets of the first to third detection signals by using the sphere information transmitted from the second processor.
