Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A band-type wireless communication device ( 10 A) of an embodiment of the present invention is arranged such that a main body ( 1 ) contains an antenna ( 2 ) and a ground conductor ( 3 ) and that the ground conductor ( 3 ) is electrically connected to a metal section ( 5 ) on a first belt ( 4 ) joined with the main body ( 1 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 5 . (canceled) 6 . A band-type wireless communication device, comprising: a main body; an antenna built in the main body; and a ground conductor for the antenna which ground conductor is built in the main body, the band-type wireless communication device being fixable to a target with use of at least one band connected to the main body, the band-type wireless communication device further comprising a metal section provided on only one of the at least one band and electrically connected to the ground conductor, the antenna being connected to a portion of the ground conductor which portion is near a first end of the ground conductor which first end is opposite to a second end of the ground conductor to which second end the metal section is electrically connected. 7 . The band-type wireless communication device according to claim 6 , wherein the ground conductor includes (i) a first ground section and (ii) a second ground section connected to the first ground section via a switch. 8 . A band-type wireless communication device, comprising: an antenna; and a ground conductor for the antenna, the band-type wireless communication device being fixable to a target with use of at least one band, the band-type wireless communication device further comprising a metal section provided on the at least one band and electrically connected to the ground conductor, the ground conductor including (i) a first ground section and (ii) a second ground section connected to the first ground section via a switch, the metal section being electrically connected to the first ground section, the antenna being connected to a portion of the second ground section which portion is opposite to a side of the ground conductor at which side the metal section is electrically connected to the ground conductor, the band-type wireless communication device further comprising a detecting section for detecting an approach of a human body, in a case where the detecting section has detected the approach, the switch being turned off so that the first ground section and the second ground section are not electrically connected to each other, while the detecting section does not detect the approach, the switch remaining on so that the first ground section and the second ground section are electrically connected to each other. 9 . A band-type wireless communication device, comprising: an antenna; and a ground conductor for the antenna, the band-type wireless communication device being fixable to a target with use of at least one band, the band-type wireless communication device further comprising a metal section provided on the at least one band and electrically connected to the ground conductor, the metal section and the ground conductor being connected to each other to have a total length that is not less than one eighth and not greater than three eighths a wavelength of a resonance frequency of the antenna. 10 . The band-type wireless communication device according to claim 6 , wherein the band-type wireless communication device is fixable to the target with use of a single band.
