Abstract

A non-contact type information processing device structured to communicate with a medium in a non-contact manner may include a first circuit part having a first antenna, and the first circuit part may be configured to communicate with the medium at a first resonance frequency by electromagnetic induction. The non-contact type information processing device may further include a second circuit part having a second resonance frequency which is separated from the first resonance frequency, and the second circuit part may include a second antenna and a light emitting element which is operated by electric power obtained by an induced current that is received by the second antenna.

Claims (20)

1. A non-contact type information processing device structured to communicate with a medium in a non-contact manner and structured to be connectable with at least one of a magnetic card and a contact-type IC (integrated circuit) card, the non-contact type information processing device comprising:

a first circuit part comprising a first antenna, the first circuit part being configured to communicate with the medium at a first resonance frequency by electromagnetic induction;

a second circuit part having a second resonance frequency which is separated from the first resonance frequency; and

an insertion port into which the at least one of the magnetic card and the contact-type IC card is inserted,

wherein the second circuit part comprises a second antenna and a light emitting element which is operated by electric power obtained by an induced current that is received by the second antenna, and

wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are both loop antennas formed to enclose the insertion port.

2. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are formed on a same wiring circuit board.

3. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a bezel which is formed around the insertion port,

wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are provided in an inside of the bezel.

4. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein each of the first antenna and the second antenna is a loop antenna which is formed so as to surround the insertion port.

5. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein the light emitting element is provided in the bezel so as to exhibit outward appearance of the bezel as if the bezel emits light.

6. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the second circuit part further comprises a control part configured to control light emission of the light emitting element.

7. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a bezel which is formed around the insertion port,

wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are provided in an inside of the bezel.

8. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the light emitting element is provided in the bezel so as to exhibit outward appearance of the bezel as if the bezel emits light.

9. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein the bezel is made of a translucent synthetic resin of milky white color, and the light from the light emitting element is emitted to the outside as diffused light through the bezel.

10. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the second circuit part further comprises a control part configured to control light emission of the light emitting element.

11. The non-contact type information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of light emitting elements are arranged between the first antenna and the second antenna so as to surround the insertion port.
