Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by a processor of a stylus, a tilt direction of the stylus based on respective first signal strengths at a plurality of receivers. The tilt direction comprises a direction of the stylus along an axis of a touch-sensing device. The method further includes generating, by the processor of the stylus, a response signal comprising information indicative of the tilt direction of the stylus.
