Patent number: 9027160Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2010Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: NTT DOCOMO, Inc.Inventors: Kumiko Yamaguchi, Masaharu Nakatsuchi, Tetsuhiro Tanno, Mao Asai, Ryo Nakajima

Patent number: 8949319Abstract: The user of a mobile station which is prepared to receive information providing services from unspecified IP (Information Providers) accesses a gateway server and performs a pre-registration procedure (S71). When an IP server has information to provide to users, it constructs the information in the form of electronic mail, appends user attribute data, and sends this to the gateway server (S72). Upon receiving electronic mail with attribute data, the gateway server stores the electronic mail in a third mailbox, makes a comparison of the user attributes, and calls the mobile stations of relevant users (S73). A user who has received a call requests a download of the electronic mail from the gateway server (S74). The gateway server sends electronic mail to the mobile station which made the request (S75, S76).Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2012Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: NTT DOCOMO, INC.Inventors: Masaaki Yamamoto, Katsumi Sekiguchi, Masaharu Nakatsuchi, Norihito Sekizaki

Patent number: 7716475Abstract: When an application is activated, a mobile station 10 detects external devices 20, 30, 40 as candidates for a BLUETOOTH connection out of external devices existing in the surrounding area, and presents a list of the devices to a user. When the user selects from the list an external device 20 with which a connection is to be attempted to make, a link is established by a connection procedure according to a security level described in an ADF of the application. Namely, when “high” is described as the security level, an authentication process and an encryption process requiring input of a PIN are executed prior to the establishment of the link. On the other hand, when “low” is described as the security level, a link is established without executing these processes.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2005Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: NTT DoCoMo, Inc.Inventors: Mao Asai, Tatsuro Oi, Masaharu Nakatsuchi, Kosuke Kakuno, Akira Shibutani
