<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily, surely and quickly read and write the information on an IC card by attaching the antennas on plural faces of a terminal housing. SOLUTION: Four antennas 2 of different sizes are provided on a front face 1A, a top face 1B and left and right side faces 1C of a housing 1, e.g., the antennas 2A of small sizes are provided on the faces 1A and 1C with an antenna 2B of a large size provided on the face 1B respectively. Thus, the antennas 2 of large and small sizes are used for reading and writing the large and small IC cards respectively. Furthermore, an indicator and an LCD(liquid crystal display) part 3 are added to the housing 1 to confirm the information reading/ writing states of IC cards and then to prevent the information reading malfunctions, etc. Thus, plural antennas can be freely selected and used to improve operability of a portable terminal for an IC card reader/writer.</p> |
