Provided is an electronic apparatus in which a state where a cable is in contact with a ground part can be stably maintained for a long period of time. An electronic apparatus includes a shield that is in contact with a ground pattern on a circuit board and that functions as a ground part. The cable extends from a front antenna, is connected to the circuit board, and passes between the shield and a first cushioning member. An inner surface of the housing presses the first cushioning member against the shield.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes a printed board and an electroconductive shield member disposed such as to cover a shield area which is a part of a front surface of the printed board. A wiring connecting an inside and an outside of the shield area is disposed on the front surface of the printed board. The shield member has an opening that connects an inside and an outside of the shield member, at a position where the wiring passes through an outer edge of the shield area, and that extends in an extending direction of the wiring. The opening is electrically connected to a conductor disposed on an opposite side of the wiring from the opening, and the opening and the conductor form a waveguide surrounding the wiring.

Disclosed herein is an electronic device including a coaxial cable connected to an antenna and a conductive body having a strip-like shape and being electrically coupled to an external conductor of the coaxial cable, an end of the conductive body not being electrically connected other conductive members.

Electronic device

Disclosed is an electronic apparatus including a substrate () and a connector () disposed on one edge constituting an outer periphery of the substrate (). A slit () is formed in the substrate (), with a starting point being a position between an end point on one side of the edge and the position where the connector () is disposed.

Provided is a wireless communication device that ensures reduced interference between a plurality of antennas without relatively separating the antennas. The wireless communication device includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a planar conductor. The conductor is arranged adjacent to both of the first and second antennas on one side. A cutout portion is formed in the conductor. The cutout portion extends from an outer edge between positions adjacent to the first and second antennas.

Wireless communication device

The present invention relates to a radio communication apparatus and a radio communications method, a radio communication system, a recording medium, and a computer program in which a response signal to an inquiry is returned to a master only when instructions to perform radio communications are issued. A CPUblinks LEDwhen an inquiry signal is received, and transmits a response to the inquiry signal when a user who has referred to lighting of the LEDoperates a connection response button. The connection response buttonis operated when the user issues radio communications instructions with respect to the inquiry signal. In other words, even when wireless headphonesare within an area capable of radio communications with the master, only if the connection response buttonis operated by the user, it sends to the master a response to the inquiry, and establishes connection. The present invention may be applied to a wireless storage server, wireless headphones, and audio reproduction apparatuses.

Radio communication apparatus and radio communication method, radio communication system, recording medium, and computer program

An antenna which is laid out efficiently while ensuring a predetermined antenna directivity. An antenna area is formed on a corner of a substrate. An antenna conductor is formed in the antenna area, and is shaped so that a bend is formed between its ground end and its open end. A first ground area is formed on the substrate near the ground end of the antenna conductor, and is connected to the ground end. A second ground area is formed on the substrate near the open end of the antenna conductor. A feed unit feeds electricity to the antenna conductor.

When wireless communications are performed with other communication devices, an inquiry message to discover other communication devices residing in the vicinity is wirelessly transmitted by having communication ranges altered at a plurality of stages; response messages to the transmitted inquiry message are received; information relating to a receiving state or frequency of receipt of the response messages from the respective communication ranges is preserved with respect to each communication device which is a source of the response message; and based on the preserved information relating to the receiving state or the frequency of receipt of the response messages a communication device to be a connection object for wireless communication is selected. By doing so, when short-range wireless communications are performed, communication services can be performed appropriately between required devices.

Communication method, communication system, and communication device for performing communication having altering communication ranges

In the case where close range wireless communication is performed among a plurality of communication devices, when a predetermined connection operation is performed in a first communication device, an inquiry message is wirelessly transmitted in order to discover a device to be connected by the wireless communication after restricting a transmissible distance to a close range; when a predetermined standby operation is performed in a second communication device, the inquiry message is received and a response message to the received inquiry message is wirelessly transmitted; and when the response message is received, the first communication deviceperforms the connection processing with respect to the second communication device
