  • Publication number: 20230205416
    Abstract: A spatial position indication system includes an electronic pen, an indicated position detecting circuit, a spatial position detecting circuit, and a selecting circuit. The indicated position detecting circuit detects a position of the electronic pen at an input surface or a hover region over the input surface.
