Abstract
A pairing method between a stylus and a position detecting apparatus that detects a position pointed to by the stylus includes: sharing, by the position detecting apparatus, a sensor identifier (ID) that is included in an uplink signal transmitted to the stylus while the stylus and the position detecting apparatus are proximate to each other at or within a predetermined distance, the sensor ID uniquely identifying the position detecting apparatus; and determining, by the position detecting apparatus using the sensor ID, whether information is transmitted from the stylus, the information being transmitted via a first wireless communication having a range that is longer than the predetermined distance.
