Abstract: An information apparatus switches a display at a predetermined area which includes at least a part of a portion where an electromagnetic-wave emitting unit used for data communications with a data storage device is disposed, according to data communication processing with the data storage device, and emits sound generated according to the processing at corresponding timing.

Abstract: A gate apparatus identifies whether a person is authorized to pass through, and allows the identified person to pass through. The gate apparatus obtains information about a shape of the person who is allowed to pass through. The gate apparatus restricts at least frontward and rearward travel of the person traveling from an entrance to an exit of a passageway in the gate apparatus to form space defined within the passageway, and is capable of adjusting a shape of the defined space based on the obtained shape information of the individual person.

Abstract: When a human detection sensor detects a person to be authenticated, an illumination unit obtains ambient light illuminance measured by an illuminance sensor. Lighting illuminance is then determined by using illuminance conversion information, which indicates the lighting illuminance corresponding to the ambient light illuminance, so that when the ambient light illuminance is low, the lighting illuminance becomes low, and when the ambient light illuminance is high, the lighting illuminance becomes high. The illuminance of a light source is controlled so that intensity of illumination becomes the determined illuminance. A face authentication terminal then authenticates the person to be authenticated under illumination by the illumination unit.

Abstract: A specific-accessible service and a commonly accessible service can co-exist while ensuring the security thereof. It is assumed that a common area of a company A's issued IC card has registered therein an electronic value (corresponding to 1000 yen and a specific area thereof has registered therein a specific-accessible service point of 50 (corresponding to 50 yen). With respect to the commonly accessible electronic value and specific-accessible service point that are registered in the enterprise A's issued IC card, addition and subtraction can both be executed using a specific key A registered in the company A's terminal apparatus. However, in each of the respective cooperating companies' terminal apparatus, with respect to the commonly accessible electronic value, only subtraction processing is possible using a common key registered therein.
