Card Reader Display Positioning for Contactless IC Alignment

The patent uses an image display section to display a visual copy or representation of the read-out section position. The image shows a graphic indicating where to place the recording medium, allowing users to understand the position requirement without physically searching for the read-out section. This resolves the contradiction by providing position information through visual copying rather than requiring direct visual inspection of the physical component.

The image display section acts as an intermediary between the system and the user. Instead of directly showing the physical read-out section, the system uses an intermediate visual representation that conveys the necessary position information. This intermediary provides the information in a form that doesn't require the user to shift attention between different physical locations.

The image display section serves multiple functions: it displays operational information, indicates the read-out section position, and provides user guidance. By making this existing component multi-functional, the patent avoids adding separate positioning indicators, thereby reducing device complexity while still providing clear position information.

The patent merges the positioning indication function with the existing image display section. Instead of having separate components for displaying information and indicating position, the system combines these functions into a single integrated display that provides both operational status and positional guidance through visual graphics.
