Problems solved by technology

For this reason, the communication device needs to store information indicating its own antenna position in advance, and if the information indicating the antenna position is not stored, the user cannot be guided to the position of the antenna built in the communication device.

Embodiment approach 1

[0033] In Embodiment 1, for example, a portable device equipped with an RFID reader / writer is brought close to a terminal device equipped with RFID, terminal device information including information indicating the terminal device such as an ID is read out from the terminal device, and the portable device itself The information is sent to the server in addition to the terminal device information read by the portable device. Thereby, for example, the terminal device information and the mobile device information can be associated and registered in the database of the server.

[0034] Conventionally, user registration operations such as registering an e-mail address with a server and registering a manufacturing number have been performed by direct input from the user. For this reason, due to the complexity of the input processing job, the number of terminal devices registered with the server is not large. On the other hand, in the mobile device according to Embodiment 1, informat...

Embodiment approach 2

[0086] Next, a communication system in Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. In Embodiment 2, a guide pattern image having the same shape as the guide pattern indicating the position of the loop antenna mounted on the terminal device is displayed at the position of the loop antenna mounted on the mobile device.

[0087] Figure 7 It is a figure showing the internal structure of the mobile device in Embodiment 2 of this invention. In addition, since the configuration of the communication system in Embodiment 2 of the present invention is the same as the configuration of the communication system in Embodiment 1, description thereof will be omitted.

[0088] Figure 7 The illustrated portable device 1 includes a loop antenna 11, a display unit 12, a system control unit 13, a storage unit 14, a short-range wireless communication unit 15, an operation unit 16, a guide display control unit 17, a posture detection unit 18, and a mobile network communication unit....

Embodiment approach 3

[0119] Next, a communication system in Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described. In Embodiment 3, the position of the loop antenna is superimposed on the captured image of the pointing direction of the loop antenna and displayed.

[0120] Figure 12 It is a figure showing the internal structure of the mobile device in Embodiment 3 of this invention. In addition, the configuration of the communication system in Embodiment 3 of the present invention is the same as the configuration of the communication system in Embodiment 1, and thus description thereof will be omitted.

[0121] Figure 12 The illustrated portable device 1 includes a loop antenna 11, a display unit 12, a system control unit 13, a storage unit 14, a short-range wireless communication unit 15, an operation unit 16, a guidance display control unit 17, a posture detection unit 18, and a mobile network communication unit. 19. An antenna 20 , an image acquisition unit 21 and a pattern recognition un...

Abstract

Provided are a communication device and a communication method capable of guiding a user to the position of an antenna built into a communication device and facilitating alignment between the antenna of the communication device and the antenna of an external device. A mobile device (1) is provided with a loop antenna (11) for performing near field communication; a display unit (12) provided on the surface opposite to the directivity of the loop antenna (11); and an antenna position information storage unit (142) for storing the antenna position information indicative of the position of the loop antenna (11) in the mobile device (1). The display unit (12) displays the position of the loop antenna (11) on the basis of the antenna position information stored in the antenna position information storage unit (142).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a communication device and a communication method for communicating with external equipment using near-field communication. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there has been proposed a technique for performing short-distance wireless communication between devices using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification: Radio Frequency Identification) or the like. Such short-range wireless communication has a short communication distance, and it is necessary to bring the antennas of the two wireless communication devices that perform communication close to each other. Marks indicating the positions of the antennas are attached to the surfaces of the wireless communication devices on which the antennas are mounted, and the user brings the marks of the two wireless communication devices close to each other to perform communication between the two wireless communication devices. [0003] As the two wireless communication dev...
