Abstract
A portable electronic device which can be changed between a first state and a second state includes an antenna that forms a loop in the first state and does not form the loop in the second state. A mobile telephone includes an operation unit-side casing, a display unit-side casing, a linking part which links the operation unit-side casing and the display unit-side casing; and a loop antenna. The loop antenna includes a first part disposed at the operation unit-side casing; a second part disposed at the display unit-side casing; a contacting part disposed at the operation unit-side casing; and a contacted part disposed at the display unit-side casing.
Claims10
A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a first body;
- a second body;
- a connecting portion that connects the first body and the second body, of which relative positions can be changed, so as to be transformable into a first state and a second state;
- and
- an antenna that is disposed in the first body and the second body, the antenna including:
- a first portion, at least a part of which is disposed on a side of the first body;
- a second portion, at least a part of which is disposed on a side of the second body;
- a contacting portion that is disposed on a side of the first portion;
- and
- a contacted portion that is disposed on a side of the second portion,
- wherein the antenna forms a loop by way of the contacting portion and the contacted portion being connected in the first state,
- wherein the antenna does not form a loop by way of the contacting portion and the contacted portion being separated in the second state,
- wherein communication with an external device via the antenna is enabled when the antenna forms the loop, and
- wherein communication with an external device via the antenna is disabled when the antenna does not form the loop.

A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a first body including a first face;
- a second body including a second face;
- a connecting portion that connects the first body and the second body so as to be openable and closable around an opening-and-closing axis, and deformable into an opened state in which the first face and the second face are disposed to be separated from each other, and a closed state in which the first face and the second face are disposed to be superimposed in a state of being adjacent to each other;
- and
- an antenna that is disposed in the first body and the second body, the antenna including:
- a first portion, at least a part of which is disposed on a side of the first body;
- a second portion, at least a part of which is disposed on a side of the second body;
- a contacting portion that is disposed on a side of the first portion;
- and
- a contacted portion that is disposed on a side of the second portion,
- wherein the antenna forms a loop by way of the contacting portion and the contacted portion being connected in the opened state,
- wherein the antenna does not form a loop by way of the contacting portion and the contacted portion being separated in the closed state,
- wherein communication with an external device via the antenna is enabled when the antenna forms the loop, and
- wherein communication with an external device via the antenna is disabled when the antenna does not form the loop.
