ELECTRONIC CLOCK HAVING NON-CONTACT DATA COMMUNICATION FUNCTION, AND NON-CONTACT DATA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to an electronic watch (100) having a contactless data communication function. The case (101) of the electronic watch is constructed from metal or other conductive material, and is formed in an annular shape with a dial-side opening (101A) and a back-side opening (101B). A gap (101G) is disposed to one part of the case (101) in the circumferential direction as an insulation part, and an insulation material (109) is located and fixed inside this gap (101G). Because the occurrence of an eddy current can thus be prevented, a drop in communication function can be suppressed even though an annular conductive member is used in the case or other structural parts. Furthermore, because the strength of the case can be improved and the seal or water resistance can be easily assured, the reliability of the electronic watch can be increased.
