1. A processor configured to control a sensor system that detects a pointer on a first panel surface of a first display having a first effective region and a second panel surface of a second display having a second effective region, wherein the processor, when loaded with computer-executable instructions, performs:
obtaining a position of the pointer;
outputting the obtained position to a host processor;
wherein the first effective region has a first side interfacing a side of the second effective region and has a second side that does not interface the side of the second effective region;
in response to the obtained position being outside the first side of the first effective region, concealing from the host processor first information indicating the pointer being removed from the first panel surface; and
in response to the obtained position being outside the second side of the first effective region, outputting the first information to the host processor.
