Abstract

Apparatuses and methods of active stylus to host device data transmitting. One method receives, at a stylus, an indication that a host device is performing a first coordinate scan to determine coordinates of the stylus proximate to a capacitive sense array of the host device. While the host device is performing the first coordinate scan, the stylus transmits at least two bits of stylus data to the host device.
