[Problem] To shorten the time from when a touch surface is contacted to when a stylus is set in a first operation mode. [Solution] A method executed by a stylus 2, the stylus 2 being constituted so as to be able to transmit both a signal based on mode A and a signal based on mode B, a dual stylus being constituted so as to be able to receive at least a signal based on mode A and having a function to detect the writing pressure applied to the tip of a pen. The method is provided with a step S12 for detecting a second pen-down, a step S13 for activating operation to receive an uplink signal based on mode A over a prescribed time in accordance with the second pen-down being detected, and a step S17 for setting the operation mode of the stylus 2 to an operation mode A for transmitting/receiving a signal based on mode A when the uplink signal based on mode A is received within the prescribed time.
