A payment terminal includes a camera configured to capture an image, a card slot for inserting a contact type IC card, and a panel arrangement surface on which a touch panel is arranged. A lens of the camera, the card slot, and the panel arrangement surface are arranged in order in the height direction from a placement surface of the payment terminal. The panel arrangement surface is oriented obliquely upward toward a user positioned in front of the card slot. An optical axis direction of the lens is obliquely upward toward the user, and the lens is provided closer to the user than the card slot.

An information processing apparatus includes: a housing; a substrate fixed in the housing; a touch panel installed in the housing and disposed to be inclined in a direction approaching the substrate toward a front of the information processing apparatus; and an opening detection switch provided between an edge of the touch panel on a front side and the substrate. The opening detection switch includes: a contact opening and closing portion fixed to the substrate; a key top having a hemispherical surface in contact with the edge; and an elastic member elastically deformable by a pressing force from the key top pressed by the edge to press down the contact opening and closing portion.

Information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus includes: a housing; a touch panel installed in the housing; an opening detection switch configured to detect opening of the touch panel from the housing; a first flexible substrate connected to the touch panel, bent at a bent portion, provided with an electronic component mounted thereon in the housing, and disposed along the touch panel; and a holder member installed in the housing between the touch panel and the first flexible substrate. The holder member includes a rib protruding toward the first flexible substrate. The first flexible substrate has an engagement hole through which the rib penetrates.

A tamper resistance wall structure on a circuit board includes a wall body formed of a laminated board, and a tamper detection wiring provided in the wall body. An outer through hole is provided in an outer surface of the wall body, which is a side surface away from a protective area on the circuit board, and is formed perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the outer surface and perpendicular to the circuit board. An inner through hole is provided in an inner surface of the wall body, which is a side surface close to the protective area on the circuit board, and is formed perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the inner surface and perpendicular to the circuit board. A recess is formed on the inner surface, and the inner through hole is formed in the recess and is a part of the tamper detection wiring.

Tamper resistance wall structure

An electronic apparatus includes a terminal body, a battery cover detachable from the terminal body, and a connection member connecting the terminal body to the battery cover. The terminal body includes a first body portion and a second body portion, and a thickness of the first body portion is formed to be greater than a thickness of the second body portion. The battery cover is provided with a locking portion and a lock mechanism portion that can be attached to the terminal body. The connection member includes a first connection portion and a second connection portion and includes thick first and second regions, a thin third region, and a bent portion. When the battery cover is attached to the terminal body, the bent portion is bent and the connection member is stored in a space.

Electronic apparatus

Electronic apparatus is provided with main body, and inner battery cover and additional module which are attachable and detachable in relation to main body. Battery is stored in opening portion of housing, recessed portion is formed in vertical surface which stands substantially vertically from main surface, and first terminal is formed on inner portion of recessed portion. Connecting surface which comes into contact with vertical surface is formed on additional module, and second terminal which is electrically connected to first terminal is formed on connecting surface. In a state in which additional module is attached to main body, second terminal is positioned on an inner portion of recessed portion and is connected to first terminal, and thus, reliable and firm attachment is performed.
