Electronic device with communication capability
First Claim
1. A communication-capable electronic device comprising:
- a housing for accommodating parts of the device; and
a communication antenna disposed inside the housing to make communications with an IC card having a loop antenna built therein, the communication antenna being disposed in a location where a part of the antenna incorporated in the IC card is to face a part of the communication antenna, while the rest of the antenna in the IC card does not face that part of the communication antenna, when the IC card is located near the housing.

Abstract
A communication-capable electronic device is provided which includes a metallic housing (122) to accommodate electronic parts of the device, and a communication terminal (90) that makes communications with a communication-cable IC card (110) incorporating an antenna (115). The communication antenna (90) is located such that when the IC card is placed near the housing (122), the antenna (115) built in the IC card (110) faces, at a part thereof, a part of the communication terminal (90) while the rest of the antenna (115) of the IC Card (110) does not face the housing (122). Thus, it is possible to prevent the inductance in the antenna (115) of the IC card (110) from being reduced.
