  • Publication number: 20190164356
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to reduce the number of errors generated in an in-vehicle communication device due to a communication failure between the in-vehicle communication device and an IC card. The in-vehicle communication device has a communication unit that performs a first communication with a roadside machine, an interface that performs a second communication with an IC card, a non-volatile memory, and a processing unit that executes a process of collecting a toll using the communication unit. The processing unit stores predetermined information stored in the IC card into the non-volatile memory, uses the information stored in the non-volatile memory when executing a process using the communication unit, and writes the information stored in the non-volatile memory into the IC card at, at least, either timing when the power supply of the in-vehicle communication device 1 is switched to on or off.

  • Patent number: 9931953
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a safe non-contact charging environment that enables finding an electronic appliance that remains left in a vehicle before start of charging and preventing trouble that an electronic appliance breaks down by electromagnetic waves generated during charging by means of electromagnetic coupling. A process of checking to see that an electronic appliance remains left inside a vehicle, based on wireless communication information emitted by the electronic appliance left inside the vehicle is performed in advance. When it has been detected that an electronic appliance remains left, a charging current value is controlled according to an allowable current of the detected electronic appliance or an alert is generated to notify that the electronic appliance remains left.

  • Patent number: 5698837
    Abstract: Even when a plurality of cards have entered an communication area, the cards within the communication area may be accessible, and, if a data collision occurs, the order of accessing to the cards is expeditiously determined to perform an efficient communication. Each card determines a timing for returning a response block containing an ID code based on conditions directed by a read/write device and the ID code of its own. The read/write device is caused to receive the response block returned by the contactless IC card and to detect a data collision. Based on this result, the conditions are changed so that a respective response block containing an ID code is returned again, thereby concurrently processing the plurality of contactless IC cards.

  • Patent number: 5225667
    Abstract: An IC card prevents an internal battery from being, rapidly consumed and internal data from being lost due to frequent use or erroneous starts caused by external noise. The number of starts of the card and the number of erroneous starts thereof are respectively counted by registers in a RAM. When one of these start numbers reaches a set value, the receiving circuit selected is switched to another receiving circuit having a higher threshold value and requiring no bias current, or the threshold value of the receiving circuit is increased by an inhibit circuit so that the internal power consumption of the card is suppressed, and the card is not affected by external noise. In addition, when the value of one of the registers reaches a set value, the external device informs the user of the fact that the value has reached a set value, using sound or a visual display.
