Abstract: An electrical charging system and method is disclosed. A power transmitting device is configured to charge a power source of a portable electronic device in non-contact processing including a predetermined power providing policy including at least one of a fee setting, a billing system setting, an electrical charging system setting, a charging determination setting, and a security setting. The power transmitting device is configured to charge the power source in a non-contact processing operation of at least one of an admission operation and a payment operation with the portable electronic device and processing including at least one of the predetermined power providing policy and a predetermined power receiving policy of the portable electronic device. The admission operation is an operation other than an authorization for the power transmitting device to charge the power source. An authentication/billing proxy device executes billing according to an amount of charging the chargeable power source.

Abstract: There are provided an information transmission terminal, an information transmission method, an article information transmission system and an article information transmission method capable of including personal information under other users' control into items to be transmitted while protecting the user privacy. A user terminal 20 transfers a transmission request and a usage policy of personal information to the respective transfer destination terminals 30 in accordance with the kind of personal information requested from a personal information collecting server 10, and collects personal information transmitted from the respective transfer destination terminals 30 responding thereto to transmit to the personal information collecting server 10. In this process, the respective transfer destination terminals 30 can judge whether or not the transmission of the requested personal information based on the transferred usage policy violates the privacy of the users of the transfer destination terminals 30.

Abstract: A power transmission and power receiving apparatus and method is disclosed. Charging while in a non-contact processing operation for the purpose other than charging is realized. An approach of a portable electronic device with a rapid bulk electricity storing module, which is a chargeable power source, is detected at the side of a power transmitting device, and power transmission for charging the rapid bulk electricity storing module is executed in response to the detection of the approach. A power source can be charged in operation for non-contact authentication which is executed when a device approaches an authentication device.

Abstract: To realize charging while in non-contact processing operation for the purpose other than charging. An approach of a portable electronic device 2 with a rapid bulk electricity storing module 20, which is a chargeable power source, is detected at the side of a power transmitting device 1, and power transmission for charging the rapid bulk electricity storing module 20 is executed in response to the detection of the approach. A power source can be charged in operation for non-contact authentication which is executed when a device approaches an authentication device.

Abstract: An information managing unit (4) has an ID information storage (41) for receiving and storing ID information (11) from an RFID reader (2) for detecting, from an RFID tag (1) holding variable ID information (11), the ID information (11) and for updating and managing the stored ID information (11) in synchronization with the variable ID information (11) held by the RFID tag (1), by a predetermined method; an event detector (42) for detecting an event to be a trigger to notify another information managing unit (5) of the stored ID information (11); and an ID information requester (43) for, when the event is detected, notifying the other information managing unit (5) of the ID information (11), for acquiring the ID information (11) and managing unit information about the other information managing unit (5) from the other information managing unit (5), and for storing the acquired managing unit information in correspondence to the ID information (11) into the ID information storage (41).
