The housing has a first front surface member and a second front surface member, a lower side of the first front surface member projects toward an operator with respect to an upper side of the first front surface member, an upper side of the second front surface member projects toward the operator with respect to a lower side of the second front surface member, an antenna of the wireless unit is provided on a back side of the first front surface member, a lower side of the antenna projects toward the operator with respect to an upper side of the antenna, and the scanner unit reads a code through an opening of the second front surface member.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A module provided in a predetermined space of an operation panel of a transaction terminal device to input and output a digital information, the module comprising: a wireless unit, configured to perform a data communication using at least a near field communication; a scanner unit, configured to read an external code; and a housing, configured for incorporating the wireless unit and the scanner unit, wherein the housing comprises: a first front surface member, disposed obliquely with respect to a vertical direction; and a second front surface member, provided below the first front surface member and disposed obliquely with respect to the vertical direction, wherein a lower side of the first front surface member projects toward an operator with respect to an upper side of the first front surface member, an upper side of the second front surface member projects toward the operator with respect to a lower side of the second front surface member, an antenna of the wireless unit is provided on a back side of the first front surface member, a lower side of the antenna projects toward the operator with respect to an upper side of the antenna, and the scanner unit is configured to read the external code through an opening of the second front surface member. 2 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna of the wireless unit is disposed in parallel with the first front surface member. 3 . The module according to claim 1 , wherein at least one part of the scanner unit is disposed at such a position as to overlap a lower side of the wireless unit in a horizontal direction. 4 . The module according to claim 1 , further comprising: a line concentrator, configured to concentrate respective wires of the wireless unit and the scanner unit and perform connection to a control device of the transaction terminal device. 5 . The module according to claim 2 , wherein at least one part of the scanner unit is disposed at such a position as to overlap a lower side of the wireless unit in a horizontal direction. 6 . The module according to claim 5 , further comprising: a line concentrator, configured to concentrate respective wires of the wireless unit and the scanner unit and perform connection to a control device of the transaction terminal device. 7 . The module according to claim 2 , further comprising: a line concentrator, configured to concentrate respective wires of the wireless unit and the scanner unit and perform connection to a control device of the transaction terminal device. 8 . The module according to claim 3 , further comprising: a line concentrator, configured to concentrate respective wires of the wireless unit and the scanner unit and perform connection to a control device of the transaction terminal device.
