  • Patent number: 9723483
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device according to an embodiment has an identifier, a determiner, and a permitter. The identifier identifies the operating system of a mobile terminal to which its own device is connected and determines whether the identified operating system is a prescribed operating system. If the identifier determines that the identified operating system is the prescribed operating system, the determiner performs processing to determine whether or not authentication data held in its own device and authentication data held in an authentication data holding device that can communicate via a network match. If the determiner determines that there is a match, the permitter permits data processing using processing data held in a processing data holding device that can communicate via the network.

  • Publication number: 20160314388
    Abstract: A data processing device for IC card issuance includes a common data acquisition unit, an individual data acquisition unit, a memory, a data interpretation unit, a data conversion unit and an issuance data generation unit. The memory stores multiple pieces of format information that indicate data formats for respective types of individual data. The data interpretation unit determines a data format of the individual data that is acquired by the individual data acquisition unit based on the format information stored in the storage unit. The data conversion unit converts the individual data acquired by the individual data acquisition unit into a predetermined data format according to the data format determined by the data interpretation unit. The issuance data generation unit generates issuance data for issuing an IC card based on the individual data in the predetermined data format and common data acquired by the common data acquisition unit.
