Abstract
A pen state detection circuit is incorporated in electronic equipment having a touch sensor of a capacitive system made of planarly disposed multiple sensor electrodes. The pen state detection circuit is configured to perform acquiring, from the touch sensor, signal distribution indicating a change in capacitance associated with approach of a pen-side electrode included in an electronic pen, and estimating a state of the electronic pen according to an input-output model. In the input-output model features relating to the acquired signal distribution are input and a state quantity of the electronic pen is output. The pen state detection circuit is configured to be capable of setting an input-output model that is different depending on a change in an outer shape of the electronic pen or the electronic equipment.
