To provide a technology for determining a state of a cover of an information processing terminal without using a mechanism such as a lever.SOLUTION: An information processing terminal includes a case, a cover that can be attached to the case, and a substrate housed in the case. A pair of connection circuits are arranged inside of the case. Each of the pair of the connection circuits is connected to a circuit on the substrate. A conductive member is arranged inside of the cover, and when the cover is attached to the case, the conductive member is brought into contact with both of the pair of the connection circuits, so that the circuit on the substrate determines that the cover is attached to the case. When the cover is removed from the case, the conductive member is separated from the pair of connection circuits, so that the circuit on the substrate determines that the cover is removed from the case.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】 レバー等の機構を利用することなく、情報処理端末のカバーの状態を判断するための技術を提供する。【解決手段】 情報処理端末は、ケースと、前記ケースに取り付け可能なカバーと、前記ケースに収容されている基板と、を備え、前記ケースの内側には、一対の接続回路が設けられており、前記一対の接続回路のそれぞれは、前記基板上の回路と接続されており、前記カバーの内側には、導電性部材が設けられており、前記ケースに前記カバーが取り付けられる場合に、前記導電性部材が前記一対の接続回路の双方と接触して、前記基板上の前記回路が前記ケースに前記カバーが取り付けられたと判断し、前記ケースから前記カバーが取り外される場合に、前記導電性部材が前記一対の接続回路から離間して、前記基板上の前記回路が前記ケースから前記カバーが取り外されたと判断する。【選択図】図３
