Patent number: 7895405Abstract: A semiconductor memory card that has a sufficient storage capacity when an EC application writes data to a storage is provided. A usage area for the EC application in an EEPROM 3 in a TRM 1 is expanded. The expansion is such that a partition generated in a flash memory 2 outside the TRM 1 is assigned to the EC application while a partition table is allocated in the internal EEPROM 3. Because the partition table is in the TRM 1, only a CPU 7 in the TRM 1 is able to access the generated partition table. Secrecy of stored contents increases because the access to the expanded area is limited to the CPU 7 in the TRM 1.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2009Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Hiromi Ebara, Shinji Kawano, Futoshi Nakabe
