Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus using a card that holds information by any one method selected from an electrical method, a magnetic method, and an optical method.

  In an apparatus for receiving digital broadcasting, an IC card for receiving digital broadcasting (a contact IC card issued by B-CAS, a so-called “B-CAS card”) is inserted into the apparatus and used. It is known.

  On the other hand, as a car navigation device, a hard disk navigation device with a built-in digital broadcast receiving function capable of receiving a digital broadcast has been spreading. Such a car navigation device is normally provided so as to be openable and closable with respect to an electronic device main body portion incorporating main equipment such as a hard disk device and a DVD device, and a sub-panel of the electronic device main body portion. And a panel section provided. A slot for inserting a disc-shaped medium such as a DVD is provided in the sub-panel of the electronic device main body (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, in the case of a device with a built-in digital broadcast reception function, the sub-panel includes an IC card for receiving digital broadcasts (contact IC card issued by B-CAS) in addition to or instead of the disk-shaped media slot. A slot for inserting a so-called “B-CAS card” IC card) is provided.

  An electronic device main body having at least a slot for inserting an IC card, such as the above-described digital broadcast-compatible car navigation device, and a panel provided so as to be openable and closable with respect to a sub-panel of the electronic device main body In an electronic device provided with the IC card, the IC card is detected using two detectors as illustrated in FIG. That is, these two detectors 50 (detection switch) and detector 60 (contact terminal) are arranged so as to be positioned on the lower surface side of the IC card 130 when the IC card is inserted into the slot. Here, one of the detectors (first detector 50) is a detector that directly senses the presence of the IC card 130. The other detector (second detector 60) is a lever-type detector provided with a lever 62 (62A, 62B. Reference numerals 62A, 62B indicate the position of the lever 62). It is. This lever type detector is moved from the second position (62B) to the first position (62A) when the IC card 130 is inserted and the lever 62 comes into contact with the lower surface side of the IC card 130. By rotating, the movement of the lever 62 is converted as a change in electrical signal.

  When the IC card 130 is inserted into the slot with the panel portion opened, the electrical signals generated by these two detectors 50 and 60 change. Therefore, if it is determined that the IC card 130 is inserted into the slot based on the change of these electrical signals, the panel unit is automatically closed. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining a detection state of an IC card in an electronic device using a conventional IC card, and FIG. 4A shows a state in which the IC card 130 is completely inserted. FIG. 4B is a diagram showing a stage in the middle of inserting the IC card 130. In FIG. 4, arrow I indicates the insertion direction of the IC card 130, and arrow E indicates the discharge direction of the IC card 130.

And a display unit having at least a function of displaying position information.

  According to the present invention, even if a card holding information is inserted halfway into the slot by any method selected from an electrical method, a magnetic method, and an optical method, erroneous detection of the card is performed. By preventing this, it is possible to provide an electronic device that prevents the end portion of the card and the panel portion from coming into contact with each other and at least one of them is damaged or damaged.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an electronic device main body used in the present invention. Specifically, FIG. 1 shows a state in which a card is inserted into the electronic device main body. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A1-A2 in FIG. Furthermore, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the electronic apparatus of the present invention having the electronic apparatus main body shown in FIG. FIG. 3A is a view showing a state immediately after the IC card 130 is inserted from the insertion / ejection port 70 when the panel unit 120 is open, and is further covered with the lid member 12. FIG. 3B is a diagram showing a state in which the panel unit 120 is automatically closed after being covered with the lid member 12. In FIG. 3, description of other switches and buttons provided in the sub-panel 10 and the panel unit 120 is omitted.

  The electronic device of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 3 includes an electronic device main body 110 and a panel portion 120 provided to be openable and closable in the direction of the double arrow R in the figure with respect to the sub-panel 10 of the electronic device main body 110. It has. The panel unit 120 is attached to the lower part of the sub-panel 10 of the electronic device main body 110, and can be opened and closed by rotating in the direction of arrow R in the figure by a rotating means (not shown). In addition, the panel unit 120 may be referred to as a surface facing the sub-panel 10 of the panel unit 120 when the panel unit 120 is closed (hereinafter referred to as an “inner surface”, and a surface on the opposite side is referred to as an “outer surface”). In some cases, various operation buttons are provided as necessary, and a display unit including a liquid crystal display, an LED display, or the like (in the figure, a display unit provided on the inner side is denoted by reference numeral 122, and a display unit provided on the outer side is provided. May be provided). Note that the display units 122 and 124 may have a function as a touch panel.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the electronic device main body 110 includes (1) a sub-panel 10 having an insertion / discharge port 70 of the IC card 130, and (2) an IC card 130 inserted from the insertion / discharge port 70. And the first detector 50 that electrically detects the presence of the IC card 130, and (3) is electrically turned on in the state (62A) rotated to the first position. And a second detector 60 provided with a lever 62 that is electrically turned off when rotated to the second position (62B). The second detector 60 is configured so that the lever 62 automatically rotates to the second position 62B when no external force is applied to the lever 62, and the lever 62 stops in this state. (That is, the home position of the lever 62 is the second position 62B). Then, the sub-panel 10 issues an opening / closing operation instruction when the second detector 60 is electrically changed from the OFF state to the ON state while the first detector 50 detects the presence of the IC card 130. It can be accepted.

  Here, in the present invention, when the IC card 130 is inserted and discharged, the second detector 60 is located at a position where the lever 62 does not contact the front and back surfaces of the IC card 130 and both end surfaces parallel to the insertion and discharge direction of the IC card 130. Be placed. In order to satisfy such an arrangement condition, the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided so as to be detachable from the sub-panel 10 in order to close the insertion / discharge port 70, and the rib 14 is provided on the surface on the insertion / discharge port 70 side. A plate-like lid member 12 having a (projection) is further provided. In the state where the lid member 12 is attached to the sub-panel 10, the second detector 60 is located at the position where the lever 62 is pushed by the rib 14 so as to rotate to the first position (62A). 110.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the first detector 50 is disposed so as to contact the lower surface side of the IC card 130 in a state where the IC card 130 is completely inserted from the insertion / discharge port 70. Is done. In a state where the IC card 130 is completely inserted from the insertion / discharge port 70, the IC chip (not shown in the drawing) with the electromagnetic contact exposed on the lower surface side of the IC card 130 and the first detector 50 come into contact. Therefore, the presence of the IC card 130 is electrically detected by the first detector 50. In this state, the first detector 50 can read information recorded on the IC chip and write information on the IC chip.

  As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the first detector 50 is disposed to face the IC card 130 in a state of being completely inserted from the insertion / ejection port 70, and the electronic device main body 110 is formed by a member (not shown). It can be attached to the upper surface side (side on which the IC card 130 is located) of the substrate 30 fixed inside.

  On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second detector 60 is formed on the substrate 20 fixed on the inner side of the sub-panel 10 (the surface on the opposite side of the surface of the substrate 20 facing the sub-panel 10). ) Can be attached. Here, the substrate 20 is disposed on a plurality of support portions 22 having screw holes (not shown) provided on the inner surface of the sub-panel 10 below the insertion / discharge port 70 so as to be substantially parallel to the sub-panel 10. The Then, the screw 24 is inserted into a screw hole (not shown) of the support portion 22 through a hole (not shown) provided in the substrate 20 so as to sandwich the substrate 20 between the screw thread portion of the screw 24 and the support portion 22. The substrate 20 is fixed to the support portion 22 by screwing. Further, the surface of the substrate 20 opposite to the surface facing the sub-panel 10 and the lower side of the substrate 30 (surface opposite to the surface facing the IC card 130) are connected by the harness 40.

  Next, the positional relationship between the second detector 60 and the rib 14 of the lid member 12 will be described in more detail. First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lid member 12 is fitted into the sub-panel 10 in order to close the insertion / exhaust port 70 so as not to be exposed to the outside. In this state, the rib 14 provided perpendicular to the plate-like surface constituting the lid member 12 is connected to the electronic device main body through the hole 72 for the rib 14 provided in the sub-panel 10 below the insertion / discharge port 70. It protrudes in a substantially horizontal direction inside the portion 110.

  On the other hand, the substrate 20 disposed substantially in parallel with the sub-panel 10 below the insertion / discharge port 70 has a rib whose one end side (the upper end side in FIG. 1) protrudes substantially horizontally toward the inside of the electronic device main body 110. It is located at the time of the rib 14 so as not to come into contact with 14. A second position where the lever 62 is in an electrically OFF state without any external force applied to the lever 62 on one surface of the substrate 20 and on the surface opposite to the surface facing the sub-panel 10. (62B; in FIG. 2, the second detector 60 is attached so as to be rotated in a direction parallel to the front and back surfaces of the substrate 20). The lever 62 has a length that can sufficiently come into contact with the rib 14 positioned so as to protrude substantially in the horizontal direction inside the electronic device main body 110 when the lid member 12 is fitted into the sub-panel 10. . Therefore, when the lid member 12 is fitted in the sub-panel 10, the lever 62 is moved from the second position (62B; electrically OFF state) to the first position (62A; Electrically ON state (in FIG. 2, a state in which the substrate 20 is rotated in a direction intersecting the front and back surfaces of the substrate 20).

<Operation of electronic device when IC card is inserted>
Next, the operation of the electronic apparatus according to the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described in more detail when the IC card 130 is inserted into the electronic apparatus main body 110 from the insertion / ejection port 70.
First, as shown in FIG. 3A, in a state where the panel portion 120 is open, the lid member 12 fitted into the sub-panel 10 is removed, and the IC card 130 is inserted from the insertion / discharge port 70. When the IC card 130 is completely inserted, an IC chip (not shown) on the lower surface side of the IC card 130 and the first detector 50 come into contact with each other. As a result, the presence of the IC card 130 is electrically detected by the first detector 50.

  Next, the lid member 12 is fitted into the sub-panel 10 in order to close the insertion / discharge port 70 so as not to be exposed to the outside. Since the IC card 130 needs to be completely inserted in order to fit the lid member 12 into the sub panel 10, it is possible to reliably prevent a halfway insertion state of the IC card 130. Then, by fitting the lid member 12 into the sub-panel 10, the rib 14 of the lid member 12 passes through the hole 72 for the rib 14 provided in the sub-panel 10 and protrudes substantially in the horizontal direction inside the electronic device main body 110. It will be in the state. At this time, the rib 14 rotates the lever 62 of the second detector 60 from the second position (62B) to the first position (62A). Therefore, in the state where the presence of the IC card 130 is electrically detected by the first detector 50, the second detector 60 changes from the electrically OFF state to the ON state. In response to the change of the electric signal, the opening / closing means (not shown) of the panel unit 120 is automatically operated, and the panel unit 120 is closed (FIG. 3B).

<Effects of application of the present invention>
Accordingly, in the electronic apparatus of the present invention as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the IC card 130 is inserted and discharged, both end surfaces where the lever 62 is parallel to the front and back surfaces of the IC card 130 and the insertion and discharge direction of the IC card 130. The second detector 60 is disposed at a position not in contact with the second detector 60. For this reason, even when the IC card 130 is inserted halfway through the insertion / discharge port 70 (slot), the lever 62 of the second detector 60 (lever type detector) can be There is no movement due to contact with the lower surface of 130, or contact with the upper surface or both end surfaces of the IC card 130. Therefore, even when the IC card 130 is inserted halfway, the panel unit 120 does not automatically close. As a result, it is possible to prevent the panel portion 120 from contacting the end portion of the IC card 130 that is inserted halfway, and either or both of them being damaged.

  In the present invention, the second detector 60 is disposed at any position of the electronic device main body 110 as long as the lever is not in contact with the front and back surfaces of the IC card 130 when the IC card 130 is inserted and discharged. May be. However, in consideration of the operability of the lever 62 of the second detector 60 and the prevention of arbitrary movement of the lever 62 due to force majeure, the electronic apparatus of the present invention is exemplified in FIGS. 1 and 2. The embodiment (hereinafter may be referred to as “first embodiment”) is particularly preferable.

  In the first embodiment, a plate-like lid member 12 having a rib 14 (protrusion) on the surface on the side of the insertion / discharge port 70 is provided so as to be detachable from the sub-panel 10 in order to close the insertion / discharge port 70. Further, in the state where the lid member 12 is attached to the sub-panel 10, the second detector 60 is located at a position where the lever 62 is pushed by the rib 14 so as to rotate to the first position (62A). It is arranged in the part 110.

  In the first embodiment, after the IC card 130 is set in the electronic device main body 110, the lid member 12 is fitted into the sub-panel 10 to close the insertion / discharge port 70 so as not to be exposed to the outside. At this time, by setting the IC card 130 in the electronic device main body 110, the first detector 50 detects the presence of the IC card 130 and the rib 14 of the lid member 12 is the lever of the second detector 60. 62A is pressed to change the second detector 60 from the OFF state to the ON state. Therefore, when this state is reached, the panel unit 120 is automatically closed. On the other hand, the IC card 130 must be in a completely inserted state in order to close the insertion / discharge port 70 so as not to be exposed to the outside by the lid member 12. Therefore, even if the panel unit 120 is automatically closed, the panel unit 120 is in contact with the end of the IC card 130 that is inserted halfway, and either one or both of the panel unit 120 and the IC card 130 are contacted. Can be prevented from being damaged.

  In addition to this, an off-the-shelf product can be used as the second detector 60 in the first embodiment. Further, even if an impact is applied to the electronic device 100 or the electronic device 100 is dropped, the IC card 130 is prevented from jumping out of the electronic device main body 110 because the insertion / exhaust port 70 is covered with the cover member 12. can do.

  Further, as illustrated in FIG. 4, in the related art, the second detector 60 is provided at a position where the lever 62 contacts the IC card 130, whereas in the first embodiment, the second detector 60 is the second detector 60. The detector 60 is not provided at a position where the lever 62 can contact the IC card 130. On the other hand, the structure where the IC card 130 of the electronic device main body 110 is inserted and arranged is complicated. For this reason, in the case of considering the backlash of the part where the IC card 130 is inserted and the tolerance of peripheral parts constituting the part, in the conventional electronic device, a lever having a long lever length is used as the second detector 60. In many cases, the provided one is used. However, the second detector 60 having a long lever length is likely to be damaged during storage or assembly of electronic equipment.

  On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the part where the second detector 60 is arranged is near the sub-panel 10 that constitutes the housing of the electronic device main body 110, and thus it is difficult to rattle and the part The structure around is also simple compared to the structure of the part where the IC card 130 is inserted and arranged. Therefore, when the lever length of the lever 62 of the second detector 60 is selected, it is necessary to consider much the backlash of the part where the second detector 60 is arranged and the tolerance of the peripheral parts constituting the part. Absent. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the second detector 60 can be selected to have a short lever length that is unlikely to break during storage or assembly of electronic equipment. In addition, the second detector 60 having a short lever length is very easy to manage in the factory because the lever 62 is unlikely to break when the electronic device is assembled.

<Modification>
As mentioned above, although an example of the electric equipment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. For example, in the first embodiment, the direction of the lever 62 of the second detector 60 is switched from the OFF state to the ON state by the rib 14 provided on the lid member 12. The second detector 60 may be arranged in the electronic device main body 10 so that the direction of the lever 62 can be electrically switched from the OFF state to the ON state without using the lid member 12. As such an embodiment, for example, when the IC card 130 is completely inserted into the electronic device main body 110, the lever 62 is pushed by the end surface of the IC card 130 on the side opposite to the insertion / discharge port 70 side. In which the second detector 60 is arranged in the electronic device main body 110 such that the second detector 60 is rotated to the first position (hereinafter referred to as “second embodiment”). May be called).

  In the second embodiment, when the IC card 130 is set in the electronic device main body 110, unless the IC card 130 is completely inserted; that is, when the insertion is halfway, The opposite end face cannot contact the lever 62 of the second detector 60. For this reason, even if the first detector 50 detects the presence of the IC card 130, the second detector 60 remains in the OFF state, so that the panel unit 120 is automatically closed. There is nothing. Therefore, even if the panel unit 120 is automatically closed, the panel unit 120 is in contact with the end of the IC card 130 that is inserted halfway, and either one or both of the panel unit 120 and the IC card 130 are contacted. Can be prevented from being damaged.

Next, specific examples of each part constituting the electronic apparatus of the present invention will be described in more detail.
As described above, the display units 122 and 124 can be provided on the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the panel unit 120. Even when the display unit 122 is provided on the inner side surface of the panel unit 120, as described above, the panel unit 120 and the end of the IC card 130 in the half-inserted state do not contact each other. Further, it is possible to prevent the display unit 122 from being damaged and the display image from becoming difficult to see or the display unit 122 from being damaged.

  Further, a convex portion may be provided on one side or both sides of the IC card 130 used in the present invention for the purpose of forming engraved characters or the like. In the case where a convex portion exists on the surface of the IC card 130, in the case of a conventional electronic device, the convex portion comes into contact with the lever 62 when the IC card 130 is inserted and discharged, thereby causing damage to the lever 62. However, in the present invention, the protrusion provided on the IC card 130 and the lever 62 of the second detector 60 do not come into contact with each other when the IC card 130 is inserted and discharged. For this reason, when the IC card 130 is inserted and discharged, it is possible to prevent the lever 62 from being damaged due to the contact between the convex portion and the lever 62.

  In the electronic device of the present invention, any card can be used as long as it holds information by any method selected from an electrical method, a magnetic method, and an optical method in addition to the IC card 130. In this case, the first detector 50 includes detection means corresponding to a method in which the card holds information. For example, when the card holds information by an electrical method like an IC card, the first detector 50 includes an electrical detection means for detecting the presence of the card by the electrical method. The card may be a read-only type of information, or may be any type capable of both reading and writing information. An example of a card that holds information by a magnetic method is a magnetic card having a belt-like magnetic tape attached on one side (a typical example is a so-called cash card). Moreover, as a card | curd which hold | maintains information by an optical method, the hologram card which stuck the hologram sticker on the single side | surface is mentioned as an example.

  Although the use of the electronic device of the present invention is not particularly limited, it is preferably used for in-vehicle use. In this case, if the electronic device of the present invention is the first embodiment, even if the IC card 130 set in the electronic device main body 110 is moved freely by vibration of the vehicle, the direction of the lever 62 is the IC card 130. Therefore, the direction of the lever 62 does not change arbitrarily with the movement of the IC card 130. Therefore, if the electronic device 100 is programmed to automatically perform some operation when the second detector 60 changes from the ON state to the OFF state, the electronic device 100 malfunctions due to vibration. Can be surely prevented.

  Further, unlike the interior, the IC card 130 may be deformed because a large change in temperature is likely to occur inside the vehicle. Even in this case, in the first embodiment, since the direction of the lever is not fixed by the IC card 130, the direction of the lever 62 does not arbitrarily change with the deformation of the IC card 130. Therefore, if the electronic device 100 is programmed to automatically perform some operation when the second detector 60 changes from the ON state to the OFF state, the temperature will change significantly. The malfunction of the electronic device resulting from it can be prevented.

  The electronic device of the present invention preferably has a navigation function. In this case, the electronic device of the present invention has a GPS signal receiving means for receiving a GPS signal, an information recording unit for holding at least map information, and a function for displaying position information based on the received GPS signal and map information. It is preferable to include a display unit having at least. The electronic apparatus of the present invention preferably has a function as a digital broadcast TV. The electronic device of the present invention preferably includes receiving means for receiving digital broadcasting, and the IC card 130 is preferably a B-CAS card.

  As the display unit, a known display such as a liquid crystal display, a plasma display, or an organic EL display can be selected, and the display unit may have both display functions of position information and digital broadcast display. The display unit can be provided at any position of the electronic device 100, but is preferably the display unit 124 provided on the outer surface of the panel unit.

  The information recording unit is not particularly limited. For example, a DVD device or a hard disk device can be used. In addition, when a DVD device is used as the information recording unit, the sub-panel 10 can be provided with a DVD insertion / extraction port in addition to the IC card 130.

  When the electronic device of the present invention is an in-vehicle device, has a navigation function and a function as a digital broadcast TV, and has a built-in hard disk device, it can be used as a so-called hard disk navigation device with a built-in digital broadcast reception function. it can.

  The electronic device of the present invention can be used in the field of various electronic devices including a car navigation device.
