Abstract

According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a portable terminal which non-contact communicates with an external reader/writer at a specified relative position to the reader/writer, including: a second antenna configured to carry out non-contact communication with a loop shaped first antenna whose arrangement position and size are defined in the external reader/writer; and a magnetic sheet having no magnetic body in a part of a region where the magnetic sheet at least partly overlaps with the first antenna when the portable terminal is at the specified relative position to the external reader/writer.

Claims (19)

1. A portable terminal which carries out non-contact communication with an external reader/writer at a specified relative position to the reader/writer, comprising:

a second antenna configured to carry out non-contact communication with a loop shaped first antenna whose arrangement position and size are defined in the external reader/writer; and

a magnetic sheet having a non magnetic region in a part of the magnetic sheet where the magnetic sheet at least partly overlaps with a loop of the loop shaped first antenna when the portable terminal is at the specified relative position to the external reader/writer,

wherein a width of the non magnetic region of the magnetic sheet is substantially the equal to a distance between an outermost peripheral line and an innermost peripheral line of the loop of the loop of the loop shaped first antenna, and wherein a length of the non magnetic region is predetermined.

2. A portable terminal which carries out non-contact communication with an external reader/writer at a specified relative position to the external reader/writer, comprising:

a loop shaped second antenna configured to carry out non-contact communication with a loop shaped first antenna whose arrangement position and size are defined in the external reader/writer;

a battery pack arranged so as to overlap with a region within a loop of the loop shaped second antenna when the portable terminal is at the specified relative position to the external reader/writer; and

a magnetic sheet that partly covers a surface of the battery pack, and has a non magnetic region where the magnetic sheet partly overlaps with a loop of the loop shaped first antenna when the portable terminal is at the specified relative position to the external reader/writer,

wherein a width of the non magnetic region of the magnetic sheet is substantially the equal to a distance between an outermost peripheral line and an innermost peripheral line of the loop of the loop of the loop shaped first antenna, and wherein a length of the non magnetic region is predetermined.

3. The portable terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the non magnetic region of the magnetic sheet comprises one or more hollow regions in the magnetic body, the one or more hollow regions being formed in a middle section of the magnetic sheet and away from an outer edge of the magnetic sheet.

4. The portable terminal according to claim 2 , wherein

the non magnetic region of the magnetic sheet comprises one or more hollow regions in the magnetic body, the one or more hollow regions being formed in a middle section of the magnetic sheet and away from an outer edge of the magnetic sheet.

5. The portable terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the non magnetic region of the magnetic sheet comprises one or more hollow regions in the magnetic body, the one or more hollow regions being extending from an outer edge of the magnetic sheet.

6. The portable terminal according to claim 2 , wherein

the non magnetic region of the magnetic sheet comprises one or more hollow regions in the magnetic body, the one or more hollow regions being extending from an outer edge of the magnetic sheet.

7. The portable terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined length of the non magnetic region of the magnetic sheet is 10 mm or more.

8. The portable terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the predetermined length of the non magnetic region of the magnetic sheet is 10 mm or more.
