Abstract

An information processing device includes: an apparatus main body; and a display mechanism that is provided to be displaceable with respect to the apparatus main body, is provided with an antenna used to perform communication with a mobile terminal, and is configured to display information. The apparatus main body is not located in a place where the display mechanism extends upwards and downwards the display mechanism in a state in which the display mechanism is displaced with respect to the apparatus main body.

Claims (53)

1. An information processing device comprising:

an apparatus main body;

a display mechanism that is provided to be displaceable with respect to the apparatus main body, is provided with a first antenna used to perform communication with a mobile terminal, and is configured to display information; and

a second antenna, which is different from the first antenna and is installed in the apparatus main body while being separated from the first antenna by a distance larger than a distance within which the communication between the first antenna and the mobile terminal is performed.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display mechanism includes a display screen, and is capable of taking at least two states including a first state in which the display screen is close to a side of a front surface of the apparatus main body, and a second state in which the display screen is separated from the side of the front surface, and

wherein the first antenna approaches the side of the front surface of the apparatus main body in a case where the display mechanism is displaced from the second state to the first state.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the display mechanism is displaced with respect to the apparatus main body by rotating around a rotational shaft, and, furthermore, includes a side edge along a direction in which the rotational shaft extends, and

wherein the first antenna is installed between the rotational shaft and the side edge, and is installed on a side which is close to the rotational shaft between the rotational shaft and the side edge.

4. The information processing device according to of claim 3 , further comprising a control section that controls the information processing device,

wherein the display mechanism further includes a control substrate that controls display performed on the display mechanism and a connection line that electrically connects the control section to the control substrate, and

wherein the first antenna is connected to the control substrate, and is connected to the control section through the connection line.

5. The information processing device according to of claim 2 , further comprising a control section that controls the information processing device,

wherein the display mechanism further includes a control substrate that controls display performed on the display mechanism and a connection line that electrically connects the control section to the control substrate, and

wherein the first antenna is connected to the control substrate, and is connected to the control section through the connection line.

6. The information processing device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the apparatus main body further includes a predetermined installation place that is reserved for the second antenna, and

wherein the first antenna is provided on a side opposite to a side which is close to the predetermined installation place.

7. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display mechanism is displaced with respect to the apparatus main body by rotating around a rotational shaft, and, furthermore, includes a side edge along a direction in which the rotational shaft extends, and

wherein the first antenna is installed between the rotational shaft and the side edge, and is installed on a side which is closer to the rotational shaft than the side edge.

8. The information processing device according to of claim 7 , further comprising a control section that controls the information processing device,

wherein the display mechanism further includes a control substrate that controls display performed on the display mechanism and a connection line that electrically connects the control section to the control substrate, and

wherein the first antenna is connected to the control substrate, and is connected to the control section through the connection line.

9. The information processing device according to claim 7 ,

wherein the apparatus main body further includes a predetermined installation place that is reserved for the second antenna, and

wherein the first antenna is provided on a side opposite to a side which is close to the predetermined installation place.

10. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a control section that controls the information processing device,

wherein the display mechanism further includes a control substrate that controls display performed on the display mechanism and a connection line that electrically connects the control section to the control substrate, and

wherein the first antenna is connected to the control substrate, and is connected to the control section through the connection line.

11. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the apparatus main body further includes a predetermined installation place that is reserved for the second antenna, and

wherein the first antenna is provided on a side opposite to a side which is close to the predetermined installation place.

12. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display mechanism includes a display screen, and

wherein the display mechanism is capable of taking at least two states including a first state in which the display screen is close to a side of a front surface of the apparatus main body, and a second state in which the display screen is separated from the side of the front surface.

13. The information processing device according to claim 12 , further comprising:

guidance means that performs guidance, which indicates that a place over which a mobile terminal is held corresponds to the second antenna, with respect to a user in a case where the display mechanism is in the second state, and that performs guidance, which indicates that a place over which the mobile terminal is held corresponds to the first antenna, with respect to the user in a case where the second antenna is installed in the apparatus main body and the display mechanism is in a state other than the second state.

14. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first antenna is located on a right side of the display mechanism.

15. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display mechanism is located on an upper side than a discharge section of paper on which an image is formed.

16. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display mechanism is configured to incline such that a plane extending along a longitudinal axis of the display mechanism does not intersect with the apparatus main body.

17. The information processing device according to claim 16 ,

wherein the first antenna and the second antenna use the same communication system for communicating with the mobile terminal.

18. The information processing device according to claim 17 ,

wherein both of the first antenna and the second antenna are near field communication antennas.

19. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first antenna and the second antenna use the same communication system for communicating with the mobile terminal.

20. The information processing device according to claim 19 ,

wherein both of the first antenna and the second antenna are near field communication antennas.
