Abstract: Mobile unit 16 which can activate Java-AP software receives SDF (Security Descriptive File) 204 from administering server unit 18 which a trustworthy organization (a communication provider which administers mobile packet communication network 15) administers, and obtains ADF 205 from IP server unit 13 by using URL contained in the SDF, and obtains Jar file 206 from IP server unit 13 by using ADF 205, and installs in itself Java-AP containing these files.

Abstract: The present invention provides a means for determining authenticity of a combination of files which are downloaded to a mobile station, and which are related to one another. To achieve the stated object, in a system according to the present invention, mobile station 16, which is capable of running a Java-APP, receives an ADF from CP server device 12. Then mobile station 16 receives a SDF from trusted server device 18, which is identified by data contained in the ADF. Mobile station 16 calculates a hash value of certificate data contained in the ADF, and verifies whether the calculated hash value of the certificate data and a hash value of the certificate data which is contained in the SDF are identical to each other. Next, mobile station 16 receives a JAR file from CP server device 12. Mobile station 16 calculates a hash value of the JAR file, and verifies whether the calculated hash value of the JAR file and a hash value of the JAR file contained in the ADF are identical to each other.

Abstract: In a case that communication functions configuring a host system use origination functions (resources), when JAM (“Java Application Manager”) stored in a mobile phone receives, from KVM (“K Virtual Machine”), request data indicating that a first Java AP (“application”) requests to execute an origination function, JAM executes or cancels an execution request by the first Java AP in accordance with an instruction input by a user. Further, when JAM cancels an execution request by the first Java AP, JAM provides to KVM notification data indicating that an execution request is cancelled.

Abstract: A mobile telephone 2 having a function for downloading and executing an application A from a network server comprises a communications module execution control system 1. The judging section 132 acquires and refers to an attribute information file 14. If the attribute information file 14 contains a (UseTelephone=call) definition, then the judging section 132 judges that the call section 102 is to be executed by the application A, and if there is no UseTelephone key, then it judges that the call section 102 is not be executed by the application A. If the UseTelephone value is not “call”, then the judging section 132 judges that the download of the application A is not allowed. The control section 136 controls the download and execution of the application A, in accordance with the judgement from the judging section 132.

The cellular phone 1 according to the present invention comprises a display 5, wireless unit 7, and control unit 2. As used herein, the display 5 is a display apparatus for displaying information. From a delivery server, the wireless unit 7 receives application software together with attribute information that indicates whether execution state information stored in a specific storage area by the application software should be displayed.

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: The present invention provides a means for reflecting modifications made in a server to data with regard to a scope of rights, which are granted to an application program operable in a communication device such as a mobile station, on data stored in the communication device. To achieve the aim, in a system according to the present invention, Java-AP software is provided to a mobile station by transmitting an ADF, a SDF and a JAR file from servers to the mobile station in that order. The SDF is a file containing data indicating restrictions of behavior of a Java-AP in a mobile station. The SDF also contains data indicating a validity state of the SDF, namely ‘valid’ or ‘invalid’, which is managed by management server device 18. Before a mobile station runs a Java-APP which is installed in the mobile station, the mobile station accesses management server device 18 and checks whether a SDF corresponding to the Java-APP is valid.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device for estimating usage of contents and properly limiting functions realized through use of the contents in accordance with the estimation. Usage of contents is estimated by determining in which of cache memory means and content storage means the contents are stored. When the contents are processed or executed, it is determined whether to limit functions realized through processing or execution of the contents, on the basis of the estimated usage of the contents and function limit information showing a rule regarding limits on functions realized through processing or execution. On the basis of the determination, the functions realized through processing or execution of the contents are limited.
