Abstract

An information processing apparatus of the present invention includes a case having a loop-shaped antenna provided therein, in which the antenna is bent by a bending portion to continue in a loop shape with its one portion positioned on the front surface side of the case and the other portion positioned on the back surface side of the case.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a case having a loop-shaped antenna provided therein,

wherein the antenna is bent by a bending portion to continue in a loop shape with one portion being positioned on front surface side of the case and other portion being positioned on back surface side of the case.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the antenna is an antenna for performing wireless communication with a non-contact type read target medium.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the antenna includes a flexible board formed in a loop shape, and an antenna wire continuously provided in a spiral shape on the flexible board.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the case has a module provided therein which includes a display section exposed to front surface of the case, and the one portion of the antenna on the front surface side of the case is arranged on outer periphery of the display section.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the other portion of the antenna on the back surface side of the case is arranged on back surface of the module.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the antenna is provided at a corner of the case.
