Abstract: An information processing system, information communication terminal and method, information processing apparatus and method, recording medium, and program capable of enabling safer electronic commercial transactions. A point-of-purchase server generates purchasing information using a card Identification number allotted to a non-contact IC-card of a mobile telephone. A point-of-receipt server acquires this purchasing information and confirms the card identification number allotted to the non-contact IC card of the mobile telephone and a purchasing card identification number. The authentication server calculates user trustworthiness and store trustworthiness based on temporary commercial transaction information stored in the non-contact IC card of the mobile telephone. The calculated user trustworthiness and store trustworthiness is then reference by the mobile telephone and point-of-purchase server in the next commercial transaction.

Abstract: An IC chip, an information processing apparatus, system, method, and program are provided. An IC chip includes an authentication control unit configured to authenticate a request using authentication information. The request and/or the authentication information is received from outside the IC chip.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including a reception unit that receives a request for access to an IC chip from an application having access right information for accessing to the IC chip, an acquisition unit that acquires an authentication information for authenticating the application from an external server based on the access right information contained the request for access received by the reception unit, an authentication unit that authenticates the application based on the authentication information obtained by the acquisition unit, and a control unit that controls an access of the application to the IC chip based on an authentication result by the authentication unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an antenna having a variable Q value, the antenna being used for performing communication with an external apparatus in a noncontact manner by using a carrier of a predetermined frequency and charging a battery in a noncontact manner by using the carrier, an obtaining unit configured to obtain information about charging of the battery, a determining unit configured to determine whether charging of the battery is to be performed or not on the basis of the information obtained by the obtaining unit, and a setting unit configured to selectively set the Q value of the antenna to a first value or a second value in accordance with a determination result generated by the determining unit, the second value being larger than the first value.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including a communication unit for transmitting a carrier wave having a predetermined frequency and making noncontact communication with an information processing terminal, a 2-dimensional code reader unit for reading a 2-dimensional code recording therein processing information on processings to be executed by the information processing terminal, a 2-dimensional code analysis unit for analyzing the 2-dimensional code reader in the 2-dimensional code reader unit and acquiring the processing information from the 2-dimensional code, and a processing unit for generating processing execution information for causing the information processing terminal to execute a predetermined processing based on an analysis result by the 2-dimensional code analysis unit and causing the communication unit to transmit the processing execution information to the information processing terminal.

Abstract: A battery pack is provided which includes an antenna coil for generating a magnetic field, a battery cell and a positive pole terminal and a negative pole terminal electrically connected with the battery cell, wherein a resultant of superimposing current from the battery cell or current to the battery cell and a signal from the antenna coil or a signal to the battery is sent from the positive pole terminal or the negative pole terminal, or received from the positive pole terminal or the negative pole terminal.

Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing apparatus including a content data acquisition part for acquiring content data containing location information of a script file capable of reading secure information in an IC chip from a service providing server, a file reading part for reading the script file from a settlement operator server based on the location information of the script file contained in the content data acquired by the content data acquisition part, and a secure information reading part for reading the secure information from the IC chip based on a secure information access description contained in the script file read by the file reading part.

Abstract: A service providing system is provided, which includes a client device capable of accessing a tamper-resistant secure memory, an area management server managing memory area of the secure memory and a service providing server providing service that uses the secure memory to the client device, and which improves the security at the time of sending an access control list provided by the area management server and an instruction set provided by the service providing server to the client device by using a digital signature and a certificate.

Abstract: There is provided a wireless communication system that includes two information communication terminals with built-in IC chips engaged in alternating wireless communication with each other through noncontact communication, wherein one of the information communication terminals includes a reception unit that receives a packet originating from the other information communication terminal, a transmission unit that wirelessly transmits a single packet or a plurality of packets to the other information communication terminal by transmitting all packets that can be transmitted to the other information communication terminal instead of engaging in alternating wireless communication if a specific condition is satisfied and an identifier appending unit that appends a last packet identifier to a packet to be transmitted last from the transmission unit among all the packets that can be transmitted to the other information communication terminal.

Abstract: Amount information stored in an IC chip installed in a portable terminal has been encoded, and no key is contained in the same terminal for protection against unauthorized use. On the other hand, in order to allow the information to be viewed even offline, a portion of the information can be displayed by a specific application. After a viewer application is downloaded from a service provider, followed by mutual authentication with the IC chip, the application is enabled on the terminal, and the extent viewed is registered. Therefore, the amount information stored in the IC card or IC chip can be displayed even in an offline environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing system, information communication terminal and method, information processing apparatus and method, recording medium, and program capable of enabling safer electronic commercial transactions in a straightforward manner. A point-of-purchase server 21 generates purchasing information using a card Identification number allotted to a non-contact IC-card of a mobile telephone 11. A point-of-receipt server 31 acquires this purchasing information and confirms the card identification number allotted to the non-contact IC card of the mobile telephone 11 and a purchasing card identification number. The authentication server 41 calculates user trustworthiness and store trustworthiness based on temporary commercial transaction information stored in the non-contact IC card of the mobile telephone 11.
