1. An apparatus comprising:
- a display;
an electrode configured to measure a strength of an input electric field radiated from an object; and
a controller configured to detect an input position of the object on the display based on the strength of the input electric field,wherein the input electric field is generated by a voltage supplied by an electric field communication (EFC) transmitter which is connected to the object.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for tracking input positions via Electric Field Communication (EFC) are provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of receiving electrodes for EFC and a receiver unit. The receiving electrodes detect strengths of input electric fields. The receiver unit compares the strengths of the input electric fields with each other and generates position information regarding the input electric fields.
