  • Patent number: 11922389
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11432399
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20210259101
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a circuit board having an electronic device, a first contact and a pin hole; a cover covering the electronic device and the first contact on the circuit board; and a case accommodating the circuit board and the cover. The cover has a second contact being in contact with the first contact, a tampering detection wiring for tampering detection of the cover connected to the second contact, a through hole absorbing dimensional tolerance, and a positioning pin corresponding to the pin hole of the circuit board. The cover is attached to a back face of the case by inserting a predetermined screw into the through hole, and is positioned by inserting the positioning pin into the pin hole on the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 10366384
    Abstract: A payment terminal device attenuates or turns on a backlight illuminating a display of a touch panel displaying a screen relating to payment processing when information relating to the payment processing is printed in a print module. In addition, the payment terminal device turns off the attenuated or turned off backlight, after the printing of the information relating to the payment processing is finished by the print module. When the printer is operated, by pausing or suspending a part of a function or a process, a total amount of current flowing into a power supply stored inside a housing is reduced and power consumption is reduced.
