Abstract

The embodiment relates to a case apparatus including a mounting member, which includes a first mounting member and a second mounting member surrounding the first mounting member; a first antenna device mounted on a top surface of the first mounting member; and a second antenna device mounted on a bottom surface of the second mounting member. Thus, even when the case apparatus is mounted on a mobile communication terminal, short range communication may be smoothly performed between the mobile communication terminal and an external device.

Claims

1. A case apparatus comprising:

a mounting member including a first mounting member and a second mounting member integrally formed with each other, wherein the first mounting member and the second mounting member are connected at one side and separated at three sides;

a first antenna device mounted on a top surface of the first mounting member; and

a second antenna device mounted on a bottom surface of the second mounting member,

wherein the second mounting member includes an exposing part which has a same size as the first mounting member, and

wherein the first mounting member includes a bent part whereby the first mounting member is separated from the second mounting member at the three sides.

2. The case apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second mounting member is provided with the exposing part corresponding to the first mounting member.

3. The case apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first mounting member is connected to one of inner side surfaces of the exposing part in the second mounting member.

4. The case apparatus of claim 2, wherein the first mounting member is connected to a top or bottom surface of one of edge regions of the exposing part in the second mounting member.

5. The case apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a correction member disposed between the first and second mounting members.

6. The case apparatus of claim 5, wherein the correction member includes a battery.

7. The case apparatus of claim 5, wherein the first mounting member extends along one of side surfaces of the correction member.

8. The case apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first and second antenna devices are connected to each other.

9. The case apparatus of claim 8, wherein the first and second antenna devices include a coil.

10. The case apparatus of claim 9, wherein at least one of the first and second antenna devices further includes a reactance device connected to the coil.

11. The case apparatus of claim 10, wherein the reactance device includes a capacitance device.

12. The case apparatus of claim 1, further comprising at least one shielding member disposed between the first and second mounting members.

13. The case apparatus of claim 1, wherein the mounting member includes one of a PCB, an FPCB, a film and a shielding member.

14. The case apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a protective part to encapsulate the mounting member, and the first and second antenna devices such that the mounting member and the first and second antenna devices are coupled to each other.

15. The case apparatus of claim 14, wherein the protective part is detachably mounted on a mobile communication terminal.

16. The case apparatus of claim 15, wherein the first and second antenna devices relay short range communication between the mobile communication terminal and an external device.

17. The case apparatus of claim 16, wherein the short range communication includes NFC (Near Field Communication).
