US 12,229,625 B2 · Information processing apparatus and information processing method

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: an antenna for non-contact communication with a communication medium, with the communication medium storing first information; and a touch panel that electrically detects a contact or a proximity of an object as an input detection function. The antenna is arranged around the touch panel, and outputs radio waves for the non-contact communication by receiving a power supply. The information processing apparatus turns OFF the power supply to the antenna in response to the input detection function of the touch panel being turned ON. The information processing apparatus turns OFF the input detection function of the touch panel in response to the power supply to the antenna being turned ON.
