  • Patent number: 7558963
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080290158
    Abstract: In a system according to the invention, a communication section of a mobile terminal detects a carrier from an external R/W, starts communication with the external R/W, and acquires content simplified data of contactless card function content from the external R/W. The acquired content simplified data is transferred to a control section using the contactless card function content and stored. Further, in this system, by connecting to a URL contained in the content simplified data, content body data of the contactless card function content corresponding to the content simplified data is downloaded and stored in the mobile terminal.

  • Publication number: 20080248831
    Abstract: When a mobile terminal is brought close to an external R/W, a FeliCa chip in the mobile terminal detects an information signal via a communication section. A header identifying section identifies a header of the information signal received via the communication section, and when Felica content is included in the information signal, stores the FeliCa content in the FeliCa ship. Based on a control signal, a FAM refers to a table, and instructs the representation corresponding to the FeliCa content to a mobile terminal OS. According to the instruction from the FAM, the mobile terminal OS performs the representation using a speaker, lamp, display and/or vibrator.

  • Patent number: 7421577
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080177950
    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.

  • Publication number: 20080066089
    Abstract: An IP server sends e-mail to a mobile device MS. This e-mail includes an application specifier that specifies startup of a Java application stored in mobile device MS. On the other hand, the ADF for the Java application stored in mobile device MS includes trusted source data containing a plurality of e-mail addresses that indicate trusted origins. Mobile device MS compares the e-mail transmission origin address with the trusted source data. Mobile device MS, only in the case where the transmission origin address of the received e-mail is included in the trusted source data, starts up a Java application based on an application specifier included in said e-mail.

  • Publication number: 20050257149
    Abstract: An event obtaining unit 121 obtains an event generated in an event generation unit 110 and outputs the event to the event providing unit 122. When an operation mode is mode A, the event providing unit 122 refers to an event table T1 and provides the event to an application corresponding to the event. If the event is provided to a communication AP 131, the communication AP 131 is launched prior to providing the event. On the other hand, when the operation mode is mode B, the event providing unit 122 provides the event to a Java runtime environment 140. In addition, the event providing unit 122 changes the operation mode when a switching button CB is pressed.

  • Publication number: 20050021792
    Abstract: A mobile phone compares a URL of a provider of an original Java application (JavaAP) with a URL of a provider of a destination JavaAP, to determine whether a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the URLs are identical. Only if the FQDNs are identical, the mobile phone permits the destination JavaAP to use data relating to the original JavaAP. In this way, appropriate management of transferring data from an application to another will be effected, thereby improving data security against an unauthorized application.
