Position indicator, position detecting device, position detecting circuit, and position detecting method

A signal transmission method, comprising:

• dividing first information, which is represented in a digital signal of a first defined number of bits, into a plurality of information parts respectively represented in digital signals of a second defined number of bits smaller than the first defined number of bits;
• and
• transmitting, from a position indicator to a position detecting device, the information parts, and distinguishing information usable for distinguishing the information parts from each other.

A signal transmission method, comprising:

• dividing first information, which is represented in a digital signal of a first defined number of bits, into a plurality of information parts respectively represented in digital signals of a second defined number of bits smaller than the first defined number of bits;
• and
• transmitting, from a position indicator to a position detecting device, the information parts, and an error detection code usable for detection of an error in the information parts.

A signal transmission method, comprising:

• dividing first information, which is represented in a digital signal of a first defined number of bits, into a plurality of information parts respectively represented in digital signals of a second defined number of bits smaller than the first defined number of bits, and modulating the information parts using a defined modulation method;
• and
• transmitting, from a position indicator to a position detecting device, a start signal, and subsequently transmitting, from the position indicator to the position detecting device, the modulated information parts.
