Description

この発明は、携帯端末装置及び該携帯端末装置に用いられるアンテナ共振周波数調整方法に係り、特に、非接触ＩＣカード機能を有する携帯電話機などのように、同機能を内蔵するための高密度実装を必要とする場合に適用して好適な携帯端末装置及び該携帯端末装置に用いられるアンテナ共振周波数調整方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a mobile terminal device and an antenna resonance frequency adjusting method used for the mobile terminal device, and more particularly to high-density mounting for incorporating the same function, such as a mobile phone having a non-contact IC card function. The present invention relates to a portable terminal device suitable for use when necessary and an antenna resonance frequency adjusting method used in the portable terminal device.

携帯電話機など携帯端末装置は、通常の通話機能や電子メールの送受信機能を有する他、近年では、たとえば、交通機関の改札機との通信や、コンビニエンスストアなどに設置されている金銭の支払い用のリーダ／ライタ（ＩＣカード処理装置）との通信などに用いられる非接触ＩＣカード機能（以下、単に「ＩＣカード機能」ともいう）を有するものが製作されている。   A mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone has a normal call function and an e-mail transmission / reception function, and in recent years, for example, for communication with a ticket gate of a transportation facility or for payment of money installed in a convenience store. A device having a non-contact IC card function (hereinafter also simply referred to as “IC card function”) used for communication with a reader / writer (IC card processing device) is manufactured.

この種の関連技術としては、たとえば図８に示す携帯端末装置があり、同携帯端末装置は、送受信アンテナ１と、容量調節回路２と、ＩＣカード機能回路３と、制御部４とを有している。
この携帯端末装置では、容量調節回路２が送受信アンテナ１と並列接続され、図示しないリーダ／ライタに接近したとき、同リーダ／ライタから出力される電磁波により同送受信アンテナ１が電磁誘導を受けて受信電圧ｒｖが得られる。容量調節回路２内の容量値は、送受信アンテナ１のアンテナ共振周波数がリーダ／ライタと通信が可能な有効帯域に入るよう調整されている。そして、ＩＣカード機能回路３及び制御部４により、所定の処理が行われる。 As this type of related technology, for example, there is a mobile terminal device shown in FIG. 8, which has a transmission / reception antenna 1, a capacity adjustment circuit 2, an IC card function circuit 3, and a control unit 4. ing.
In this portable terminal device, when the capacity adjustment circuit 2 is connected in parallel with the transmission / reception antenna 1 and approaches a reader / writer (not shown), the transmission / reception antenna 1 receives electromagnetic induction by the electromagnetic wave output from the reader / writer. A voltage rv is obtained. The capacitance value in the capacitance adjustment circuit 2 is adjusted so that the antenna resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 1 falls within an effective band in which communication with the reader / writer is possible. Then, a predetermined process is performed by the IC card function circuit 3 and the control unit 4.

上記の携帯端末装置の他、この種の関連技術としては、たとえば、特許文献１に記載された非接触式ＩＣカードがある。
この非接触式ＩＣカードでは、ＩＣチップ内に複数のコンデンサが設けられ、自動的にそれらが選択されて容量値が変化することで、共振回路が所望の共振周波数となるようにアンテナ特性が調整される。また、ＩＣチップ内に温度検知回路が設けられ、ＩＣチップが所定温度以上となった場合には、共振回路の共振周波数あるいはＱ値（クオリティファクタ）を切り換えることで、ＩＣチップの過大温度上昇が回避される。 In addition to the portable terminal device described above, as this type of related technology, for example, there is a non-contact type IC card described in Patent Document 1.
In this non-contact IC card, a plurality of capacitors are provided in the IC chip, and the antenna characteristics are adjusted so that the resonance circuit has a desired resonance frequency by automatically selecting them and changing the capacitance value. Is done. In addition, when a temperature detection circuit is provided in the IC chip and the IC chip exceeds a predetermined temperature, switching the resonance frequency or Q value (quality factor) of the resonance circuit may cause an excessive temperature rise of the IC chip. Avoided.

また、特許文献２に記載されたリーダ・ライタでは、通信端末としての無線タグ、あるいは無線タグ機能が内蔵された携帯端末装置と近距離無線通信が行われ、推定部により通信端末との距離が推定され、周波数シフト部により、同推定部で推定された距離に応じて、同調部で同調させる周波数がシフトされる。これにより、通信端末との距離が非常に接近した場合に、同調周波数がシフトされ、ヌル（ｎｕｌｌ）状態の発生が回避される。   In the reader / writer described in Patent Document 2, short-distance wireless communication is performed with a wireless tag as a communication terminal or a portable terminal device with a built-in wireless tag function, and the distance from the communication terminal is estimated by the estimation unit. The frequency to be tuned by the tuning unit is shifted by the frequency shift unit according to the distance estimated by the estimation unit. Thereby, when the distance to the communication terminal is very close, the tuning frequency is shifted, and the occurrence of a null state is avoided.

また、特許文献３に記載された非接触型ＩＣカード内蔵携帯端末では、同調回路のコンデンサの静電容量もしくはコイルのインダクタンスを変化させてアンテナの同調周波数が合わせられることにより、複数のリーダ／ライタとの通信を行う際に、同調周波数の決定が自動的に行われるので、安定した通信が行われる。   Further, in the portable terminal with a built-in non-contact type IC card described in Patent Document 3, a plurality of reader / writers can be obtained by adjusting the tuning frequency of the antenna by changing the capacitance of the capacitor of the tuning circuit or the inductance of the coil. Since the tuning frequency is automatically determined when the communication is performed, stable communication is performed.

また、特許文献４に記載された情報カードシステムでは、電圧検出回路により、共振回路の受信電圧が検出される。また、受信感度を弱くするための可変容量コントロール回路及び可変容量が設けられている。ＣＰＵ（中央処理装置）により、電圧検出回路の受信電圧が所定の電圧レベルを越えると、可変容量コントロール回路で可変容量の静電容量を変化させ、共振周波数をずらすことによって、受信電圧の電圧レベルを下げ、受信感度が調整される。これにより、非接触ＩＣカードとカードリーダライタとが近付き過ぎた場合でも、データの送受が正常に行われる。   Moreover, in the information card system described in Patent Document 4, the reception voltage of the resonance circuit is detected by the voltage detection circuit. In addition, a variable capacitance control circuit and a variable capacitor are provided for reducing the reception sensitivity. When the reception voltage of the voltage detection circuit exceeds a predetermined voltage level by the CPU (Central Processing Unit), the variable capacitance control circuit changes the capacitance of the variable capacitance, and the resonance frequency is shifted to change the voltage level of the reception voltage. And the reception sensitivity is adjusted. Thereby, even when the non-contact IC card and the card reader / writer are too close to each other, data transmission / reception is normally performed.

しかしながら、上記関連技術では、次のような課題があった。
すなわち、図８の携帯端末装置では、送受信アンテナ１のアンテナ共振周波数が有効帯域に入るように調整されているが、同有効帯域が狭く、同アンテナ共振周波数を同有効帯域内に収めるための調節が非常に困難であるという課題がある。たとえば、図９に示すように、送受信アンテナ１では、アンテナ共振周波数の有効帯域（すなわち、リーダ／ライタとの距離が最低限必要な通信距離ｈH 以下の距離で、かつ通信不可の領域がない共振周波数の帯域）は、帯域ｆM の範囲である。アンテナ共振周波数が帯域ｆM の範囲から外れた場合、たとえば領域ＭＡや領域ＭＢでは、リーダ／ライタからＩＣカード機能を動作させるための起電力は得られるが、通信不可となることがある。この場合、領域ＭＡでは、リーダ／ライタとの距離が最低限必要な通信距離ｈH の近辺で、かつ通信距離が確保できない低い共振周波数の帯域ｆL となっている。また、領域ＭＢでは、リーダ／ライタと密着に近い距離ｈL 以下の場所で、かつ近距離で通信不可となる高い共振周波数の帯域ｆH となっている。このため、アンテナ共振周波数の許容されるばらつきの範囲は、非常に狭帯域となる。 However, the related technology has the following problems.
That is, in the mobile terminal device of FIG. 8, the antenna resonant frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 1 is adjusted so as to fall within the effective band, but the effective band is narrow and adjustment is performed to keep the antenna resonant frequency within the effective band. There is a problem that is very difficult. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, in the transmission / reception antenna 1, the effective band of the antenna resonance frequency (that is, the communication distance h H that is the minimum distance to the reader / writer and there is no area incapable of communication). (Band of resonance frequency) is a range of the band f M. When the antenna resonance frequency is out of the range of the band f M , for example, in the area MA and the area MB, an electromotive force for operating the IC card function can be obtained from the reader / writer, but communication may be disabled. In this case, in the area MA, the distance to the reader / writer is in the vicinity of the minimum required communication distance h H and the low resonance frequency band f L where the communication distance cannot be secured. Further, in the region MB, the band f H has a high resonance frequency at which communication is impossible at a short distance at a location that is not more than the distance h L close to the reader / writer. For this reason, the allowable variation range of the antenna resonance frequency is a very narrow band.

また、近年、送受信アンテナ１の薄型化及び小型化により、上記有効帯域（帯域ｆM ）がより狭い範囲となる傾向にあるので、アンテナ共振周波数を有効帯域内に収めることがさらに難しくなり、不良品が多発する恐れがあるという問題点がある。また、この対策のために、コンデンサによる調整回路を設け、製造後の調整検査時に、個々に共振周波数を測定して調整するという煩雑な作業が発生するという問題点がある。特に、薄型の携帯端末装置では、図１０に示すように、通信距離が確保できない低い共振周波数の帯域ｆL Ａと、近距離で通信不可となる高い通信周波数の帯域ｆH Ａとが隣り合わせの通信特性となり、図９中の有効帯域ｆM が殆ど存在しない通信特性となることがある。この対策として、領域ＮＢの特性を改善するために、送受信アンテナ１などの裏側や電池カバーの裏側に電磁波の通過性の良好な厚みのある磁性シートを設ける作業が発生し、また、携帯端末装置の薄型化が困難になるという課題がある。また、図１０の通信特性では、図９中の領域ＭＡ，ＭＢと同様に、通信不可となる領域ＮＡ，ＮＢがある。 Further, in recent years, the effective band (band f M ) tends to be in a narrower range due to the thinning and miniaturization of the transmission / reception antenna 1, so that it becomes more difficult to keep the antenna resonance frequency within the effective band. There is a problem that non-defective products may occur frequently. In addition, for this measure, there is a problem in that a complicated operation of providing an adjustment circuit using a capacitor and individually measuring and adjusting the resonance frequency during adjustment inspection after manufacture occurs. In particular, in a thin portable terminal device, as shown in FIG. 10, a low resonance frequency band f L A in which a communication distance cannot be secured and a high communication frequency band f H A in which communication is impossible in a short distance are adjacent to each other. In some cases, the communication characteristic is such that the effective band f M in FIG. 9 hardly exists. As a countermeasure, in order to improve the characteristics of the region NB, an operation of providing a thick magnetic sheet having a good electromagnetic wave permeability on the back side of the transmission / reception antenna 1 or the back side of the battery cover occurs. There is a problem that it is difficult to reduce the thickness. Further, in the communication characteristics of FIG. 10, there are areas NA and NB in which communication is not possible, similar to the areas MA and MB in FIG.

また、特許文献１に記載された非接触式ＩＣカードでは、共振回路の共振周波数が調整されるが、ＩＣチップの過大温度上昇が回避されるものであり、この発明とは構成が異なる。   In the non-contact IC card described in Patent Document 1, the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit is adjusted, but an excessive temperature rise of the IC chip is avoided, and the configuration is different from the present invention.

特許文献２に記載されたリーダ・ライタでは、通信端末との距離が非常に接近した場合に、同調周波数がシフトされるが、最低限必要な通信距離の近辺でのヌル状態の発生については、回避されないものであり、この発明とは構成が異なる。   In the reader / writer described in Patent Document 2, when the distance to the communication terminal is very close, the tuning frequency is shifted. For the occurrence of a null state in the vicinity of the minimum required communication distance, This is not avoided and has a different configuration from the present invention.

特許文献３に記載された非接触型ＩＣカード内蔵携帯端末では、アンテナの同調周波数が調整されることにより、複数のリーダ／ライタとの通信が安定して行われるが、通信不可となる領域を避けることについては、明確ではない。   In the portable terminal with a non-contact type IC card described in Patent Document 3, communication with a plurality of readers / writers is stably performed by adjusting the tuning frequency of the antenna. It is not clear about avoidance.

特許文献４に記載された情報カードシステムでは、非接触ＩＣカードとカードリーダライタとが近付き過ぎた場合でも、受信感度が調整されてデータの送受が正常に行われるが、最低限必要な通信距離の近辺で通信不可となる状態の発生については、回避されないものであり、この発明とは構成が異なる。また、ＣＰＵ（中央処理装置）により受信感度が調整されるので、ハード構成によるものよりも動作速度が遅いという課題がある。   In the information card system described in Patent Document 4, even when the contactless IC card and the card reader / writer are too close to each other, the reception sensitivity is adjusted and data is normally transmitted / received. The occurrence of a state in which communication is not possible in the vicinity of is not avoided, and the configuration is different from that of the present invention. In addition, since the reception sensitivity is adjusted by the CPU (central processing unit), there is a problem that the operation speed is slower than that of the hardware configuration.

この発明は、上述の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、ＩＣカード処理装置から電磁誘導を受けて受信電圧を発生するアンテナの有効帯域を広げるための手段が設けられている携帯端末装置及び該携帯端末装置に用いられるアンテナ共振周波数調整方法を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and a portable terminal device provided with means for expanding the effective band of an antenna that receives electromagnetic induction from an IC card processing device and generates a reception voltage, and the portable device. An object of the present invention is to provide an antenna resonance frequency adjusting method used for a terminal device.

The present invention relates to a portable terminal device having an antenna that receives electromagnetic induction from an IC card processing device and generates a reception voltage, and a non-contact IC card function circuit that is supplied with the reception voltage generated from the antenna and performs a predetermined operation. The antenna resonance frequency adjusting means for adjusting the resonance frequency of the antenna is provided so as to avoid a non-communication region occurring at a distance equal to or less than a minimum necessary communication distance during communication with the IC card processing device. It is characterized by having.

この発明の第２の構成は、非接触型ＩＣカード又は該非接触型ＩＣカードと同等の機能を有する電子機器が所定の領域内に接近したときに無線接続されるＩＣカード処理装置から電磁誘導を受けて受信電圧を発生するアンテナと、該アンテナから発生した前記受信電圧が供給されて所定の動作を行う非接触型ＩＣカード機能回路とを有する携帯端末装置に用いられるアンテナ共振周波数調整方法に係り、前記ＩＣカード処理装置との通信中に、最低限必要な通信距離以下の距離に発生している通信不可領域を避けるように、前記アンテナの共振周波数を調整するアンテナ共振周波数調整処理を行うことを特徴としている。   According to a second configuration of the present invention, electromagnetic induction is performed from a non-contact type IC card or an IC card processing device that is wirelessly connected when an electronic device having a function equivalent to that of the non-contact type IC card approaches within a predetermined area. The present invention relates to an antenna resonance frequency adjusting method used in a portable terminal device having an antenna that receives and generates a reception voltage, and a contactless IC card function circuit that is supplied with the reception voltage generated from the antenna and performs a predetermined operation. Performing an antenna resonance frequency adjustment process for adjusting the resonance frequency of the antenna so as to avoid an incommunicable region occurring at a distance less than a minimum necessary communication distance during communication with the IC card processing device. It is characterized by.

この発明の構成によれば、アンテナの共振周波数の有効帯域を擬似的に広げることができ、携帯端末装置を製造する際に、共振周波数のばらつきに対し、許容できる幅を広げることができる。   According to the configuration of the present invention, the effective band of the resonance frequency of the antenna can be broadened in a pseudo manner, and an allowable width can be increased with respect to variations in the resonance frequency when manufacturing the mobile terminal device.

The voltage detection circuit 15 2 is set with a threshold voltage V 2 (second threshold voltage) corresponding to the communication distance h H that requires a minimum distance from the IC card processing device (reader / writer), and sets the reception voltage rv. When the reception voltage rv is larger than the threshold voltage V 2 compared to the threshold voltage V 2 , the active mode reception voltage determination signal vd 2 (second reception voltage determination signal) is output.

周波数帯域記録レジスタ１６から出力される帯域情報信号ｆｉは、上記第１の帯域ｆL 、第２の帯域ｆH 、又は第１の帯域ｆL と第２の帯域ｆH との間の第３の帯域ｆM を示す。この場合、帯域ｆL ，ｆH ，ｆM に、たとえば２進コード“０１”，“１０”，“１１”がそれぞれ対応付けられる。デコーダ１７は、デコーダ１７1 と、デコーダ１７2 とから構成されている。デコーダ１７1 は、周波数帯域記録レジスタ１６から出力される帯域情報信号ｆｉが第１の帯域ｆL を示し、かつ、受信電圧判定信号ｖｄ1 がアクティブモードのとき、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数を第１の帯域ｆL から第３の帯域ｆM に移動するための共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ1 （第１の共振周波数制御信号）を出力する。デコーダ１７2 は、帯域情報信号ｆｉが第２の帯域ｆH を示し、かつ、受信電圧判定信号ｖｄ2 がアクティブモードのとき、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数を第２の帯域ｆH から第３の帯域ｆM に移動するための共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ2 （第２の共振周波数制御信号）を出力する。 The band information signal fi output from the frequency band recording register 16 is a first band f L , a second band f H , or a third band between the first band f L and the second band f H. The bandwidth f M of In this case, for example, binary codes “01”, “10”, and “11” are associated with the bands f L , f H , and f M , respectively. The decoder 17 includes a decoder 17 1 and a decoder 17 2 . The decoder 17 1 determines the resonance frequency of the transmitting / receiving antenna 11 when the band information signal fi output from the frequency band recording register 16 indicates the first band f L and the reception voltage determination signal vd 1 is in the active mode. A resonance frequency control signal ct 1 (first resonance frequency control signal) for moving from the first band f L to the third band f M is output. When the band information signal fi indicates the second band f H and the reception voltage determination signal vd 2 is in the active mode, the decoder 17 2 changes the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 from the second band f H to the third band f H. A resonance frequency control signal ct 2 (second resonance frequency control signal) for moving to the band f M is output.

アンテナ共振周波数調整回路１８は、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１1 ，２１2 と、コンデンサ２２1 ，２２2 とから構成されている。共振周波数調整スイッチ２１1 は、共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ1 がノンアクティブモードのときにオン状態となる一方、アクティブモードのときにオフ状態となる。コンデンサ２２1 は、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１1 がオン状態のときに送受信アンテナ１１に並列接続される。このコンデンサ２２1 の容量は、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１1 がオン状態からオフ状態になったときに、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数が第１の帯域ｆL から第３の帯域ｆM に移動する値に設定されている。 The antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18 includes resonance frequency adjustment switches 21 1 and 21 2 and capacitors 22 1 and 22 2 . The resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 1 is turned on when the resonance frequency control signal ct 1 is in the non-active mode, and is turned off when in the active mode. The capacitor 22 1 is connected in parallel to the transmission / reception antenna 11 when the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 1 is in an on state. The capacitance of the capacitor 22 1 is a value at which the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 moves from the first band f L to the third band f M when the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 1 changes from the on state to the off state. Is set to

共振周波数調整スイッチ２１2 は、共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ2 がノンアクティブモードのときにオフ状態となる一方、アクティブモードのときにオン状態となる。コンデンサ２２2 は、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１2 がオン状態のときに送受信アンテナ１１に並列接続される。このコンデンサ２２2 の容量は、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１2 がオフ状態からオン状態になったときに、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数が第２の帯域ｆH から第３の帯域ｆM に移動する値に設定されている。このため、アンテナ共振周波数調整回路１８は、デコーダ１７1 から出力された共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ1 に基づいて、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数を第１の帯域ｆL から第３の帯域ｆM に移動する一方、デコーダ１７2 から出力された共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ2 に基づいて、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数を第２の帯域ｆH から第３の帯域ｆM に移動する。 The resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 2 is turned off when the resonance frequency control signal ct 2 is in the non-active mode, and is turned on when in the active mode. The capacitor 22 2 is connected in parallel to the transmission / reception antenna 11 when the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 2 is in an on state. The capacitance of the capacitor 22 2 is a value at which the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 moves from the second band f H to the third band f M when the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 2 changes from the off state to the on state. Is set to Therefore, the antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18 moves the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 from the first band f L to the third band f M based on the resonance frequency control signal ct 1 output from the decoder 17 1. On the other hand, based on the resonance frequency control signal ct 2 output from the decoder 17 2, the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 is moved from the second band f H to the third band f M.

図２中の電圧検知回路１５1 ，１５2 では、同図に示すように、リーダ／ライタと密着状態に近い距離ｈL に対応する受信電圧ｒｖが閾値電圧Ｖ1 として設定され、また、リーダ／ライタとの距離が最低限必要な通信距離ｈH に対応する受信電圧ｒｖが閾値電圧Ｖ2 として設定されている。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the relationship between the reception voltage rv received from the reader / writer of the transmission / reception antenna 11 and the distance between the reader / writer and the threshold voltages V 1 and V 2 .

図４、図５及び図６は、アンテナ共振周波数調整回路１８による送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数の切替え動作を説明する図である。
これらの図を参照して、この形態の携帯端末装置に用いられるアンテナ共振周波数調整方法の処理内容について説明する。
この携帯端末装置では、電圧検知処理で、電圧検知回路１５1 により、受信電圧ｒｖが閾値電圧Ｖ1 と比較され、同受信電圧ｒｖが同閾値電圧Ｖ1 よりも大きいとき、アクティブモードの受信電圧判定信号ｖｄ1 が出力される（第１の電圧検知処理）。また、電圧検知回路１５2 により、受信電圧ｒｖが閾値電圧Ｖ2 と比較され、同受信電圧ｒｖが同閾値電圧Ｖ2 よりも大きいとき、アクティブモードの受信電圧判定信号ｖｄ2 が出力される（第２の電圧検知処理）。 4, 5, and 6 are diagrams illustrating the switching operation of the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 by the antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18.
With reference to these drawings, the processing content of the antenna resonance frequency adjusting method used in the mobile terminal device of this embodiment will be described.
In this mobile terminal device, voltage detection process, the voltage detecting circuit 15 1, receives voltage rv is compared with the threshold voltage V 1, when the received voltage rv is greater than the threshold voltage V 1, received voltage in the active mode The determination signal vd 1 is output (first voltage detection process). The voltage detection circuit 15 2 compares the received voltage rv with the threshold voltage V 2, and when the received voltage rv is greater than the threshold voltage V 2 , the active mode received voltage determination signal vd 2 is output ( Second voltage detection process).

デコード処理で、デコーダ１７1 により、周波数帯域記録レジスタ１６から出力される帯域情報信号ｆｉが第１の帯域ｆL を示し、かつ、受信電圧判定信号ｖｄ1 がアクティブモードのとき、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数を第１の帯域ｆL から第３の帯域ｆM に移動するための共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ1 が出力される（第１のデコード処理）。また、デコーダ１７2 により、帯域情報信号ｆｉが第２の帯域ｆH を示し、かつ、受信電圧判定信号ｖｄ2 がアクティブモードのとき、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数を第２の帯域ｆH から第３の帯域ｆM に移動するための共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ2 が出力される（第２のデコード処理）。 In the decoding process, when the band information signal fi output from the frequency band recording register 16 by the decoder 17 1 indicates the first band f L and the reception voltage determination signal vd 1 is in the active mode, the transmission / reception antenna 11 A resonance frequency control signal ct 1 for moving the resonance frequency from the first band f L to the third band f M is output (first decoding process). In addition, when the band information signal fi indicates the second band f H and the reception voltage determination signal vd 2 is in the active mode, the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 is changed from the second band f H to the second band f H by the decoder 17 2 . The resonance frequency control signal ct 2 for moving to the third band f M is output (second decoding process).

共振周波数切替え処理で、アンテナ共振周波数調整回路１８により、デコーダ１７1 から出力された共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ1 に基づいて、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数が第１の帯域ｆL から第３の帯域ｆM に移動される一方、デコーダ１７2 から出力された共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ2 に基づいて、送受信アンテナ１１の共振周波数が第２の帯域ｆH から第３の帯域ｆM に移動される。 In the resonance frequency switching process, the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 is changed from the first band f L to the third band f L based on the resonance frequency control signal ct 1 output from the decoder 17 1 by the antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18. while being moved to M, on the basis of the resonant frequency control signal ct 2 output from the decoder 17 2, the resonant frequency of the transmitting and receiving antenna 11 is moved from the second band f H to the third band f M.

すなわち、アンテナ共振周波数調整回路１８では、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１1 は、通常オン状態、及び、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１2 が通常オフ状態となっている。リーダ／ライタから得られる受信電圧ｖｒが閾値電圧Ｖ2 より高くなり、すなわち、送受信アンテナ１１の位置が距離ｈH より近くなり、かつ、周波数帯域記録レジスタ１６に、帯域ｆL の範囲のアンテナ共振周波数を有する携帯端末装置であることが書き込まれていれば、デコーダ１７1 から出力される共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ1 により、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１1 がオフ状態となる。この場合、図４に示すように、送受信アンテナ１１の状態が、共振周波数をシフトする前の領域ＥＡから、共振周波数をシフトした先の領域ＥＢとなり、アンテナ共振周波数は、帯域ｆL から帯域ｆM の範囲に切り替えられる。 That is, in the antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18, the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 1 is normally on, and the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 2 is normally off. The reception voltage vr obtained from the reader / writer is higher than the threshold voltage V 2 , that is, the position of the transmission / reception antenna 11 is closer than the distance h H , and the antenna resonance in the band f L is stored in the frequency band recording register 16. If it is written that the mobile terminal device has a frequency, the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 1 is turned off by the resonance frequency control signal ct 1 output from the decoder 17 1 . In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, the state of the transmission / reception antenna 11 is changed from the area EA before the resonance frequency is shifted to the area EB before the resonance frequency is shifted, and the antenna resonance frequency is changed from the band f L to the band f. Switch to M range.

また、リーダ／ライタから得られる受信電圧ｖｒが閾値電圧Ｖ1 より高くなり、すなわち、送受信アンテナ１１の位置が距離ｈL より近くなり、かつ、周波数帯域記録レジスタ１６に、帯域ｆH の範囲のアンテナ共振周波数を有する携帯端末装置であることが書き込まれていれば、デコーダ１７2 から出力される共振周波数制御信号ｃｔ2 により、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１2 がオン状態となる。この場合、図５に示すように、送受信アンテナ１１の状態が、共振周波数をシフトする前の領域ＦＡから、共振周波数をシフトした先の領域ＦＢとなり、アンテナ共振周波数は、帯域ｆH から帯域ｆM の範囲に切り替えられる。 Further, the reception voltage vr obtained from the reader / writer is higher than the threshold voltage V 1 , that is, the position of the transmission / reception antenna 11 is closer than the distance h L , and the frequency band recording register 16 has a range of the band f H. If it is written that the mobile terminal device has the antenna resonance frequency, the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 2 is turned on by the resonance frequency control signal ct 2 output from the decoder 17 2 . In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the state of the transmission / reception antenna 11 changes from the area FA before the resonance frequency is shifted to the area FB where the resonance frequency is shifted, and the antenna resonance frequency is changed from the band f H to the band f. Switch to M range.

また、周波数帯域記録レジスタ１６に、帯域ｆM の範囲のアンテナ共振周波数を有する携帯端末であることが書き込まれているときは、受信電圧ｖｒが閾値電圧Ｖ1 及び閾値電圧Ｖ2 より高くなっても、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１1 及び共振周波数調整スイッチ２１2 は切り替わらない。また、周波数帯域記録レジスタ１６に、帯域ｆL の範囲のアンテナ共振周波数であることが書き込まれている携帯端末装置の受信電圧ｖｒが閾値電圧Ｖ1 より高くなっても、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１2 は切り替わらない。また、周波数帯域記録レジスタ１６に、帯域ｆH の範囲のアンテナ共振周波数であることが書き込まれている携帯端末装置の受信電圧ｖｒが閾値電圧Ｖ2 より高くなっても、共振周波数調整スイッチ２１1 は切り替わらない。 Further, when it is written in the frequency band recording register 16 that the mobile terminal has an antenna resonance frequency in the range of the band f M , the reception voltage vr becomes higher than the threshold voltage V 1 and the threshold voltage V 2. However, the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 1 and the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 2 are not switched. Further, even if the reception voltage vr of the portable terminal device in which the antenna resonance frequency in the band f L is written in the frequency band recording register 16 is higher than the threshold voltage V 1 , the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 2. Will not switch. Even if the reception voltage vr of the mobile terminal device in which the antenna resonance frequency in the range of the band f H is written in the frequency band recording register 16 is higher than the threshold voltage V 2 , the resonance frequency adjustment switch 21 1. Will not switch.

また、図６に示すように、帯域ｆM がない状態でも、送受信アンテナ１１の位置が最低減必要な通信距離ｈH Ａを満たしていれば、受信電圧ｖｒが閾値電圧Ｖ1 以上になった時点で、アンテナ共振周波数が帯域ｆH から帯域ｆL に移動し、送受信アンテナ１１の状態が、共振周波数をシフトした先の領域ＹＡとなるので、擬似的に帯域ｆH と同等の帯域を有する帯域ｆM を作りだすことができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, even in the absence band f M is, the position of the transmitting and receiving antenna 11 if they meet the minimum reduction required communication distance h H A, receiving voltage vr becomes the threshold voltages V 1 or more At this time, the antenna resonance frequency moves from the band f H to the band f L, and the state of the transmission / reception antenna 11 becomes the area YA to which the resonance frequency is shifted, so that it has a band equivalent to the band f H in a pseudo manner. it is possible to create a band f M.

以上のように、この第１の実施形態では、アンテナ共振周波数調整回路１８により、送受信アンテナ１１のアンテナ共振周波数が、リーダ／ライタとの距離及び同送受信アンテナ１１の有する元のアンテナ共振周波数に合わせて必要な場合のみ調整しているので、携帯端末装置を製造する際に発生するアンテナ共振周波数のばらつきに対し、許容幅を広げることができる。また、有効帯域を確保するための対策品である、送受信アンテナ１１などの裏側に設けられる磁性シートを薄型化できると共に、電池カバーの裏側に磁性シートを設ける必要がなくなる。また、アンテナ共振周波数調整手段がハードウェアで構成されているので、たとえば交通機関のリーダ／ライタとの通信など、処理速度が速く、非常に短い処理時間を要求される場所での通信動作においても、円滑に対応することができる。   As described above, in the first embodiment, the antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18 matches the antenna resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11 with the distance from the reader / writer and the original antenna resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11. Since the adjustment is performed only when necessary, the tolerance can be widened with respect to the variation in the antenna resonance frequency that occurs when the mobile terminal device is manufactured. In addition, the magnetic sheet provided on the back side of the transmission / reception antenna 11 or the like, which is a countermeasure product for securing the effective band, can be thinned, and it is not necessary to provide a magnetic sheet on the back side of the battery cover. In addition, since the antenna resonance frequency adjusting means is configured by hardware, for example, in communication operation where the processing speed is high and a very short processing time is required, such as communication with a reader / writer of a transportation facility. Can respond smoothly.

In the portable terminal device of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, instead of the transmission / reception antenna 11 and the antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18 in FIG. 2, a transmission / reception antenna 11A and an antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18A having different configurations are provided. ing. The antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18A includes resonance frequency adjustment switches 23 1 and 23 2 . The resonance frequency adjustment switch 23 1 is turned off when the resonance frequency control signal ct 1 is in the non-active mode, and turned on when in the active mode. The resonance frequency adjustment switch 23 2 is turned on when the resonance frequency control signal ct 2 is in the non-active mode, and is turned off when in the active mode. The transmission / reception antenna 11A has contacts 11 1 and 11 2 in the middle, and is connected to resonance frequency adjustment switches 23 1 and 23 2 , respectively.

この送受信アンテナ１１Ａでは、共振周波数調整スイッチ２３1 がオフ状態かつ共振周波数調整スイッチ２３2 がオン状態のとき、電流ｍａが流れ、また、共振周波数調整スイッチ２３1 ，２３2 がオン状態になったとき、電流ｍｂが流れ、共振周波数が第１の帯域ｆL から第３の帯域ｆM に移動する一方、共振周波数調整スイッチ２３1 ，２３2 がオフ状態となったとき、電流ｍｃが流れ、共振周波数が第２の帯域ｆH から第３の帯域ｆM に移動する。この携帯端末装置では、送受信アンテナ１１Ａの共振周波数がアンテナ共振周波数調整回路１８Ａにより調整されるので、上記第１の実施形態と異なるハード構成で同様の利点がある。 In this transmission / reception antenna 11A, when the resonance frequency adjustment switch 23 1 is in the off state and the resonance frequency adjustment switch 23 2 is in the on state, the current ma flows and the resonance frequency adjustment switches 23 1 and 23 2 are in the on state. When the current mb flows and the resonance frequency moves from the first band f L to the third band f M , the current mc flows when the resonance frequency adjustment switches 23 1 and 23 2 are turned off, The resonance frequency moves from the second band f H to the third band f M. In this portable terminal device, since the resonance frequency of the transmission / reception antenna 11A is adjusted by the antenna resonance frequency adjustment circuit 18A, there is a similar advantage with a hardware configuration different from that of the first embodiment.

以上、この発明の実施形態を図面により詳述してきたが、具体的な構成は同実施形態に限られるものではなく、この発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲の設計の変更などがあっても、この発明に含まれる。
