Data communication apparatus, wristwatch type electronic device, and authentication system
First Claim
1. A data communication apparatus comprising:
- a resin-based mainframe;
a metallic annular member installed at said mainframe;
a metallic plate-shaped member installed on a back face of said mainframe; and
an antenna coil positioned at a position distant from said plate-shaped member, wherein electromotive force is generated due to change with time in a magnetic flux that passes between said annular member and said plate-shaped member;
wherein said mainframe comprises a magnetic member for introducing said magnetic flux into said mainframe; and
wherein said magnetic member is formed by cutting out a part of said plate-shaped member.

Abstract
A wristwatch comprises an ID Tag (data carrier) function applied to an RF-ID system. A watch main body comprises a reinforce resin-based case having band attachments to which wrist bands are engaged, and a resin-based bezel cover covering the upper section and outer periphery of the case. The case incorporates a display member composed of a fixing member, a resin-based display frame member, a hard glass member, and a waterproof packing, and a circuit member composed of a synthetic rubber-based module cover member, a module fixing member, a module and a module cover member. The case is sealed with a bottom cap member formed of a magnetic material via a waterproof packing, and is further covered with a resin-based case cover. A module comprises module housing members, a watch LSI substrate, a data carrier IC substrate having a data carrier IC that incorporates a control circuit for encoding/decoding and authenticating a transmitting/receiving signal and a data memory storing ID, and a data carrier antenna coil connected to the data carrier IC substrate and assembled at the outer periphery of the watch LSI substrate.
