It may be attached to any part of the body such as a lower leg, an ankle, an ear, a finger, a toe, and the like.

The portable information processing apparatus is not limited to a wristwatch type or the like, but includes general accessories such as glasses worn on the body.

[0093]

According to the portable information processing apparatus of the present invention,
The effect is obtained that reinforcement, change, diversification, and the like of components and functions can be easily realized without increasing the overall size.

According to the portable information processing apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to easily realize the improvement of the operation reliability and the operation speed by improving the heat radiation efficiency without increasing the overall size. The effect is obtained.
