  • Processing terminal and processing method
    Patent number: 10846995
    Abstract: A processing terminal includes a first housing having an opening, a second housing, an operation panel disposed on the second housing. The second housing is rotatably attached to the first housing between a closed position in which the second housing closes the opening of the first housing and a non-closed position in which a gap is formed between the opening of the first housing and the second housing. The processing terminal further includes a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to detect at least one of the second housing in the closed position and the second housing in the non-closed position. The controller is configured to determine whether or not the second housing is in the non-closed position based on a detection result of the sensor and disable the operation panel upon determining that the second housing is in the non-closed position.
