本発明はソーラバッテリを有するＩＣカードを設けた端
末機器に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a terminal device equipped with an IC card having a solar battery.
従来、この種の端末機器、たとえばパーソナルコンピュ

のほとんどの部分を本体ケースの中に収納し、僅かに引
抜き用の部分のみをケースから露出させている。これは
操作中の誤脱落を防止し、取扱いを良くし、かつ外的美
観を損なわないようにするためである。Conventionally, when an IC card is mounted (inserted) in this type of terminal equipment, such as a personal computer, most of the IC card is housed in the main body case, with only the part for removal exposed from the case. There is. This is to prevent accidental falling off during operation, to improve handling, and to not damage the external appearance.
上述した従来の端末機器はソーラバッテリを有するＩＣ
カードを実装したとき、ＩＣカードのソーラバッテリ面
がケースの中に納まってしまい、外部光が遮断される。The conventional terminal device described above is an IC having a solar battery.
When the card is mounted, the solar battery surface of the IC card fits inside the case, blocking external light.
したがって、ソーラバッテリの起電力によりＩＣカード
内の回路を動かしたり、またはメモリバックアップを行
う場合など支障をきたす。Therefore, the electromotive force of the solar battery causes problems when operating circuits in the IC card or performing memory backup.

ールド対策が・難しい。On the other hand, in a configuration in which most of the IC card is exposed outside the case, although the solar battery is irradiated with external light, the IC card is exposed outside the case, so there are problems such as the IC card being accidentally dropped. Although it is possible to store an IC card in a case without a lid, it is difficult to protect against dust and electromagnetic waves.

ＩＣカード２のソーラバッテリ３の表面へ照射される。Referring to FIG. 1 showing one embodiment of the present invention, an IC card 2 mounted (inserted) in a case 1 of a terminal device has a solar battery 3 on its surface, and is inserted through an IC card insertion slot 5. and is connected to the connector 21. external light 8
is irradiated onto the surface of the solar battery 3 of the IC card 2 through a transparent plastic lens 4 which is a light introduction path.

When power is no longer supplied from the main body and it is necessary to back up the internal memory of the IC card 2 with a battery, power is supplied by the solar battery 3.

The IC card 2 can be inserted into the case 1 leaving the drawer knob 22 intact. Note that in this embodiment, a terminal device having a display 6 and a keyboard 7 is shown.

A plastic lens 4 is provided as a light guiding member directly above the solar battery 3 of the IC card 2 housed in the
However, as shown in FIG. 3, when the keyboard 7 is mounted on the case 1 and external light 8 cannot be directly introduced, the lens 4 exposed from the case 1 and the optical cable 42 A configuration can be adopted in which external light 8 is introduced into the solar battery 3 by forming a light guide path 17.

るだけではなく、電磁波シールドを損なうこともない。As explained above, according to the present invention, by providing a light guiding member that guides external light to the solar battery of an IC card mounted inside the case, an IC card having a solar battery can be used.
Cards can be fully mounted inside the case. Therefore, not only is it possible to improve the reliability of handling and connection during operation, but also the electromagnetic shielding is not impaired.
