Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first reader electrically reading a first information in a non-contact manner; a second reader electrically or magnetically reading a second information; a touch panel electrically detecting the contact or proximity of an object; and a CPU electrically connected to the first reader, the second reader, and the touch panel. The CPU exclusively controls an ON/OFF of the first reading function of the first reader and an ON/OFF of the input detection function of the touch panel, based on a detection that the communication medium is placed in a predetermined position with respect to the first reader or a detection that the card is placed in a predetermined position with respect to the second reader.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a body having a top configured to allow a touch panel to be disposed thereon; and an input auxiliary device. The input auxiliary device includes: a frame including a first holding piece and a second holding piece configured to hold one side and another side of the body, respectively, to mount the frame on the top; and a key unit attachable to a backside of the frame. The one side includes: a card slot; and a second underside extending along the top toward the another side between the top and the card slot. The first holding piece is configured to be locked to the second underside.

Abstract: A payment terminal is provided, which is a composite terminal capable of selecting a plurality of payment methods. The payment terminal includes a touch panel that electrically detects a contact or a proximity of an object as an input detection function, and an antenna for non-contact communication with a communication medium storing information for non-contact payment. The antenna is arranged around the touch panel, and outputs radio waves for the non-contact communication by receiving a power supply. When the non-contact payment is selected, the payment terminal turns ON the power supply to the antenna and turns OFF the input detection function of the touch panel. When the non-contact payment is completed, the payment terminal turns OFF the power supply to the antenna and turns ON the input detection function of the touch panel.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: an antenna for non-contact communication with a communication medium, with the communication medium storing first information; and a touch panel that electrically detects a contact or a proximity of an object as an input detection function. The antenna is arranged around the touch panel, and outputs radio waves for the non-contact communication by receiving a power supply. The information processing apparatus turns OFF the power supply to the antenna in response to the input detection function of the touch panel being turned ON. The information processing apparatus turns OFF the input detection function of the touch panel in response to the power supply to the antenna being turned ON.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first reader, a touch panel, and a processor. The first reader has a first reading function which electrically reads first information, stored in a communication medium, in a non-contact manner. The touch panel electrically detects contact or proximity of an object as an input detection function. The processor is electrically connected to the first reader and the touch panel, turns OFF the first reader in response to the input detection function of the touch panel being turned ON, and turns OFF the input detection function of the touch panel in response to the first reader being turned ON.
