  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
1 and 2 are diagrams showing a personal computer 1 which is an example of an information processing apparatus according to this embodiment. The personal computer 1 includes a main body module 2 and a display module 3.

  The main body module 2 includes a first housing 4 made of synthetic resin. The first housing 4 has a flat box shape having an upper wall 4a, a bottom wall 4b, a peripheral wall 4c, and a battery housing wall 4d. A palm rest 5 and a keyboard attachment portion 6 are formed on the upper wall 4 a of the first housing 4. The palm rest 5 is located in the front half of the upper wall 4a. The keyboard attachment portion 6 is located behind the palm rest 5 and supports the keyboard 7. The battery of the personal computer 1 is mainly used near the battery housing wall 4d in the housing 4 (not shown).

  The display module 3 has a second housing 9. The second housing 9 has a flat box shape that is substantially the same size as the first housing 4. The second housing 9 accommodates the liquid crystal display panel 10. The liquid crystal display panel 10 has a display surface 10a for displaying character information and image information. The display surface 10 a is exposed from the front surface of the second housing 9 to the outside of the display module 3.

  The display module 3 is supported on the rear end portion of the main body module 2 via a hinge 12. Therefore, the display module 3 has a closed position lying on the main body module 2 so as to cover the palm rest 5 and the keyboard 7 from above, and a rear end portion of the main body module 2 so as to expose the palm rest 5, the keyboard 7 and the display surface 10a. It is possible to rotate between the open position where it stands up.

  The battery housing wall 4d of the first housing 4 is provided with a sticking portion 8 that is a rectangular recess. The shape of the pasting portion 8 will be described later with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the personal computer 1 and the two-dimensional code sticker 11 attached to the personal computer 1 in the present embodiment.

  In this embodiment, the personal computer 1 is shipped with the two-dimensional code seal 11 attached to the attaching portion 8 of the first housing 4 at the time of shipment. The two-dimensional code stamped on the two-dimensional code seal 11 can be read by an electronic device such as a mobile phone. In this embodiment, information on a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a predetermined website can be read from the two-dimensional code stamped on the two-dimensional code seal 11 by an electronic device. Various information of the personal computer 1 placed on the site can be acquired. The various information of the personal computer 1 here may be, for example, the product name, the manufacturing location (manufacturing country), the manufacturing date, the final inspection location, the name of the person in charge of manufacturing, etc. of the personal computer 1. In the present embodiment, the information that can be acquired when the user accesses a predetermined Web site using a two-dimensional code engraved on the two-dimensional code seal 11 is exemplified as described above, but is not limited thereto. . If the information provided to the user by the manufacturer is small, the character information of the provided information may be directly stamped on the two-dimensional code seal 11 as a two-dimensional code.

  The affixing portion 8 has a structure such as a two-dimensional code seal 11 that can easily peel off a seal having an adhesive layer on one side. This structure will now be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the cross-sectional shape of the pasting portion 8 provided in the personal computer 1 in the present embodiment.

  The affixing portion 8 is formed in a concave shape on the battery housing wall 4d and has a side surface 8a and a bottom surface 8b. Further, a protrusion 41 is provided on the bottom surface 8 b of the sticking part 8. The protrusion 41 has a shape in which triangular prisms are arranged horizontally, and a plurality of protrusions 41 are provided. The distance between the apex that is the farthest distance from the bottom surface 8d of the protrusion 41 and the bottom surface 8d (the height of the protrusion 41) is about several tens of micrometers (for example, about 15 to 40 μm). . A general seal has a two-layer structure of an adhesive layer and a non-adhesive layer, and the thickness of this adhesive layer is about 10 μm. As described above, since the height of the protrusion 41 is larger than the thickness of the adhesive layer of the seal, when a general seal is applied to the affixing portion 8, the adhesive layer is attached in contact with the protrusion 41. , It does not reach the bottom surface 8d of the pasting part 8. When the protrusion 41 is not present, the seal is attached to the bottom surface 8d of the sticking portion 8 by almost the entire surface of the adhesive layer. However, when the protrusion 41 is present, a portion of the adhesive layer that cannot be attached anywhere. There are many. For this reason, when the protrusion 41 is provided, when the sticker is attached to the sticking part 8, this sticker has a weak adhesive force with respect to the first housing 4, and the user can easily remove the sticker.

  The two-dimensional code seal 11 is sized so as not to contact the side surface 8a of the sticking part 8. Since the size of the two-dimensional code seal 11 is not in contact with the side surface 8a, there is a gap for inserting a claw between the two-dimensional code seal 11 and the side surface 8a, so that the user does not need the two-dimensional code seal 11. At this time, the two-dimensional code seal 11 can be easily peeled off.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the shape of the pasting portion 8 provided in the personal computer 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 5 shows a pasting portion 8 when the personal computer 1 is viewed from above, and the two-dimensional code seal 11 is not pasted.

  The upper direction in FIG. 5 is the direction in which the second housing 9 is present, and the lower direction is the direction in which the keyboard 7 is present.

  The protrusion 41 is provided obliquely with respect to the side surface 8b of the sticking portion 8 in a direction inclined to the left from the vertical direction in FIG. When a right-handed user peels off the seal, the seal is often peeled off from the upper right end. Therefore, the right-handed user peels off the seal by providing the protrusion 41 tilted from the vertical direction to the left as shown in FIG. It becomes easy.

  In this embodiment, the manufacturer provides the personal computer 1 to the user by pasting the two-dimensional code seal 11 on the pasting portion 8. Then, as described above, the user can confirm various information of the purchased personal computer 1. However, if the person who has finished viewing the various information or the person who has not seen it from the beginning, the two-dimensional code seal 11 is unnecessary, and the beauty of the personal computer 1 is impaired. Therefore, by providing the personal computer 1 with a structure that allows easy removal of the seal, the user can easily remove the seal, and the appearance of the personal computer 1 can be improved by removing the seal.

  An information processing apparatus such as the personal computer 1 has been reduced in size, thickness, weight, and price due to recent technological progress. As a result, the user often carries a personal computer, and moreover, for example, the family owns a personal computer such that each family has a personal computer. In order to give the personal computer a personality like a mobile phone, the user thinks that the number of cases where a user sticks a sticker (for example, a print sticker) such as a photograph of himself or a family to a personal computer increases. It is done. At this time, if the personal computer 1 is provided with a place where the seal can be easily peeled off, such as the sticking part 8, the user can use the place as the sticking place of the photo sticker after removing the two-dimensional code seal 11. It becomes possible. Moreover, since this photographic sticker is also easy to peel off, it can be further replaced. Furthermore, if the place where the seal is applied as a concave portion is provided as in the case of the adhesive portion 8, and the adhesive portion 8 is provided by a frame or the like protruding from the plane of the housing, the user may specify the location where the seal is to be applied. It becomes possible, and it becomes possible to affix a sticker without hesitation.

  In addition, when sticking a personal photo sticker or the like on a personal computer, it is preferable that the sticker is put on a place where the user can easily see the sticker. In the present embodiment, since the pasting portion 8 is provided on the battery housing wall 4d (a part of the upper wall 4a) of the first housing 4 of the personal computer 1, the user views the sticker when the personal computer 1 is in use. It is possible. Further, when the sticking portion 8 is provided on the palm rest 5 of the personal computer 1, the user looks at the sticker while both hands are in the way while using the personal computer 1 (for example, when operating with the keyboard 7). I can't. However, in the personal computer 1 according to the present embodiment, it is not attached to the palm rest 5 but to an area on the upper wall 4a of the first housing 4 between the keyboard 7 such as the battery housing wall 4d and the second housing 9. Since the portion 8 is provided, the user can see the seal even while the personal computer 1 is in use, and it is also possible to prevent the seal from becoming dirty due to contact with the hand.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sticking portion 8 is provided on the battery housing wall 4d (a part of the upper wall 4a) of the first housing 4 of the personal computer 1, and the personal computer 1 is closed (display module). 3 is a position that is not visible from the outside. Generally, when a user carries a personal computer, it is carried in a closed state. Thus, in a foldable personal computer (information processing apparatus), by providing a sticking portion at a position inside when folded, For example, when a user puts a sticker on a private photo, etc., this photo is not seen by others (without exposing the user's personal information to the outside). Can be carried around.

  In this embodiment, the sticking part 8 is provided on the battery housing wall 4d, which is a housing wall where the battery is stored. In a thin personal computer or the like, the battery becomes a relatively large internal part in the housing, and it may be impossible to provide a part exposed to the outside such as a switch or a keyboard on the housing wall near the battery. Exists. At this time, if the sticking portion 8 is provided on the battery housing wall 4d as in the present embodiment, it is possible to use a dead space on the housing where a switch or the like cannot be provided. However, providing the sticking portion 8 on the battery housing wall 4d is an example in the present embodiment, and the present invention is not limited to this.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code is illustrated as being provided as a two-dimensional code seal 11 when the personal computer 1 is provided to a manufacturer user. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Alternatively, it may be provided by being directly stamped on the bottom surface 8b of the sticking part 8. In this case, after using the two-dimensional code, the user can apply a personal seal directly without removing the two-dimensional code seal. Also in this case, since the personal seal is easy to peel off, the user can easily peel off the personal seal and replace it with another seal.

(First modification)
A first modification which is one of the modifications of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  Regarding the description of the following modified examples, the description of the same parts as those of the first embodiment will be omitted, and the same numbers will be used for the same numbers in the drawings.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the cross-sectional shape of the pasting portion 61 provided in the personal computer 1 in this modification.

  The personal computer 1 according to this modification is provided with the pasting part 61 at the same position as the position where the pasting part 8 is provided without the pasting part 8 in the first embodiment.

Further, a recess 62 is provided on the bottom surface 61 b of the sticking part 61. The recess 62 has a distance from the bottom surface 61b farthest from the bottom surface 61b to the bottom surface 61b (the depth of the recess 62) is about several tens of μm. Further, when viewed from above, the protrusion 62 in this modification is not parallel to any surface of the side surface 62a of the sticking portion 61 as shown in FIG.

  Since the personal computer 1 in this modification has a recess 62 on the bottom surface 61b of the sticking portion 61, the entire surface of the adhesive layer of the two-dimensional code seal 11 is stuck on the bottom surface 61b without the recess 62 being provided. In some cases, the area where the two-dimensional code seal 11 is affixed is reduced, and the adhesive force of the two-dimensional code seal 11 to the personal computer 1 is weakened, so that the user can easily remove the seal.

  In the present invention, the adhesive strength of the seal may be weakened and the seal may be easily peeled off by reducing the area to which the seal is attached by providing a recess on the bottom surface of the application portion as in this modification.

(Second modification)
A second modification which is one of the modifications of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the shape of the pasting portion 71 provided in the personal computer 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 7 shows a pasting portion 71 viewed from above, and the two-dimensional code seal 11 is not pasted.
