Abstract: A mobile terminal capable of determining whether a near field communication source is a mobile terminal or not, and capable of appropriately restricting information reading in near field communication. The mobile terminal includes an antenna for near field communication and an RF part. The RF part includes an electromotive force measuring part which measures the electromotive force of a carrier wave received by the antenna, a communication permission/prohibition determining part which, when the measured electromotive force is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, determines that the sender of the carrier wave is a mobile terminal and outputs a communication prohibition signal, and an RF controller which acquires the communication prohibition signal and locks the RF part.

Abstract: A portable terminal supplies power to a chip card therein with host power off. A power controller supplies power from a battery to a host, the chip card, and a CLF; a first switch opens/closes a power supply channel to the chip card, branching from a power supply channel from the power controller to the host; a second switch opens/closes a power supply channel to the chip card, branching from a power supply channel from the power controller to the CLF; a switch controller opens the first switch and closes the second switch if the CLF detects a contactless RF signal, if the host is off or if the portable terminal is in a low battery mode, and if the contactless RF signal conforms to the communication method of the chip card, and the switch controller closes the first switch and opens the second switch if the host is on.

Abstract: A secure element (SE) unit 102 holding service data used by an application is provided in a UIM card 100. Thus, when the user identify module (UIM) card 100 is transferred between portable terminals, service data and accompanying information of the application can be moved together with the UIM card 100 to another portable terminal. In addition, an access management unit 400 included in a portable terminal 200 compares UIM information of a UIM information storage unit 103 with UIM information, held by an authority information holding unit 205, of a UIM card of which use authority is possessed by an application. If they do not agree, access to service data stored in the SE unit 102 is restricted.

Abstract: A portable terminal is resistant to falsification of the spending limit of user's electronic money. The portable terminal includes a spending limit storage unit that stores the spending limit of electronic currency that can be spent; a network interface that receives, through a network, spending limit update information generated by a card server according to a notice from a parent user; a spending limit update unit that, when the spending limit update information is received, updates the spending limit stored in the spending limit storage unit, according to the received spending limit update information; a near field communication interface that detects carrier waves output from a reader/writer; and a secure element unit that applies for purchase when the carrier waves are detected.

Abstract: A portable terminal that can centrally determine payment priorities for all services in a portable terminal is provided. This portable terminal 10 has a total of two or more secure elements (referred to below as SEs) in either of both of a removable media and the portable terminal. The portable terminal 10 includes a base-band section 14 having a card search section 14a that searches the removable media connected to the portable terminal 10, a priority storing section 14b that stores priorities that centrally control all services in the two or more SEs, an optimum priority generation section 14c that excludes the priorities of the services in the removable media that are not searched for from the stored priorities, rearranges the priories of services that are not excluded from highest to lowest, and generates the rearranged priorities as optimum priorities, and a radio frequency section 12 having an optimum priority storing section 12a that stores the generated optimum priorities.

Abstract: A reproducing apparatus (2) of the present invention receives information of a WEB site from a service-providing server (3) that administrates the WEB site, and reproduces the information. The service-providing server (3) holds identification information (40) of a user of a portable communication apparatus (1) that is permitted to access the WEB site. The reproducing apparatus (2) includes: a data receiving section for receiving, from the portable communication apparatus (1), invitation information (51), identification information (40), and transmission time point information (50); a reproducing apparatus infrared communication section; a destination determination section that establishes a connection to the service-providing server (3) based on the received invitation information (51), and transmits the invitation information (51), the identification information (40), and transmission-instruction time (50); and a reproducing apparatus communication control section.

Abstract: A mobile terminal capable of causing the user side to grasp whether or not a credit settlement service stops with a simple operation is provided. In the mobile terminal 10, validation and invalidation of a storage area within an IC chip assigned to an issuer application corresponding to one issuer are switched based on switching instruction information received from an issuer terminal 20 managed by one issuer. Then, when the issuer application starts, there is displayed in a lump whether or not the respective issuer applications are available on a display part 16, based on state information indicating whether or not the respective storage areas are validated. Therefore, in the mobile terminal 10, even if plural issuer applications are stored, it is possible to cause the user side to grasp which kind of the credit settlement service stops, with a simple operation of only starting a management application.

Abstract: An infrared communication apparatus and method enabling data communication with a receiving device, regardless of a protocol with which the receiving device is compatible. A transmitting unit transmits a first packet to inquire whether a receiving device is compatible with a first protocol and transmits a second packet to inquire whether the receiving device is compatible with a second protocol, to the receiving device at least once, and transmits a plurality of third packets to inquire whether the receiving device is compatible with a third protocol, to the receiving device. A receiving unit receives a response packet indicating a protocol with which the receiving device is compatible, from the receiving device having received the first packet, the second packet, and the plurality of third packets. A data transmitting unit transmits data to the receiving device, based on the protocol indicated by the response packet received by the receiving unit.
