ALIGNMENT AUXILIARY DEVICE AND ALIGNMENT AUXILIARY METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily achieve the alignment of mutual antennas when a user holds a portable terminal over an information terminal (for example, kiosk terminal) as a communication target in non-contact communication using a directional antenna of a fixed beam.SOLUTION: An alignment auxiliary device in non-contact communication between an information terminal and a portable terminal includes: a notification part for performing the notification of the degree of position deviation between the antennas of the information terminal and the antenna of the portable terminal; and a control part for controlling the notification part on the basis of reception signal intensity or a reception signal-to-noise ratio in the non-contact communication or a positional relation between the antenna of the portable terminal and the antenna of the information terminal detected from an image photographed by a camera installed in the information terminal.
