  • Patent number: 7717348
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory card includes a direction obtainment unit which obtains a first access direction type in which the semiconductor memory card accesses the reader/writer; a condition management unit which previously hold and manages an access condition including two or more of second access direction types; a condition judgment unit which compares two or more of the first access direction types and two or more of the second access direction types, and judges whether or not they match each other; and an execution unit which executes a predetermined application program when it is judged that the first and second access direction types match each other.

  • Publication number: 20090201135
    Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a wireless IC communication device that can prevent information from being read out without permission of an owner of items to each of which the wireless IC communication device is attached. The wireless IC communication device includes: a slot number obtainment unit (502) that obtains the number of time slots; a response slot information storage unit (504) that stores response slot information indicating a condition for sending an initial response to the reader/writer in the same time slot as the time slot in which at least one of other wireless IC communication devices sends an initial response; a response slot determination unit (501) that determines the time slot in which the initial response should be sent to the reader/writer; and a response unit (503) that sends the initial response to the reader/writer.
