Patent number: 7796949Abstract: A wireless communications terminal prevents radio interferences caused by other wireless communications concurrent with a contactless communication. A wireless communications terminal receives, in a contactless communication, a command from a reader/writer via a second wireless communications section, and analyzes the received command. The wireless communications terminal controls a wireless communications control section to deactivate or temporarily deactivate the function of a first wireless communications section depending on the analysis of the command. After the function of the first wireless communications section is deactivated or temporarily deactivated, the wireless communications terminal accesses a memory area of an IC card microcomputer system as specified by the command to perform a contactless communication.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2005Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Yuka Matsushita, Tadakatsu Masaki, Eiji Ueda

Patent number: 7284132Abstract: The memory card with a simple configuration is provided with more reliable security. When the memory card receives the access request to the memory from the external connecting device, the access unit accesses the memory based on the access request. At this time, the switch composing the memory card indicates the propriety of the access right to the memory, and the access limitation unit limits that the access unit accesses the memory.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2003Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Futoshi Nakabe, Tadakatsu Masaki, Shinji Kawano, Hideo Oozeki, Hiromi Ebara

Publication number: 20060234778Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless communications terminal capable of preventing radio interferences from being caused by other wireless communications concurrent with a contactless communications. A wireless communications terminal (101) receives, in a contactless communications, a command from a reader/writer (105) via a second wireless communications section (209), and analyzes the received command. The wireless communications terminal (101) controls a wireless communications control section (210) to deactivate or temporarily deactivate the function of a first wireless communications section (208) depending on the analysis of the command. After the function of the first wireless communications section (208) is deactivated or temporarily deactivated, the wireless communications terminal (101) accesses a memory area of an IC card microcomputer system (300) as specified by the command to perform a contactless communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2005Publication date: October 19, 2006Inventors: Yuka Matsushita, Tadakatsu Masaki, Eiji Ueda

Patent number: 7024206Abstract: A mobile terminal apparatus acquires resume information concerning an application which is being executed and identification information, which is selected by a user, related to the application. The identification information identifies a communications device communicating with the mobile terminal apparatus. A communication is performed with the communications device by using the identification information and whether the communication has been interrupted is determined. If it is determined that the communication has been interrupted, interruption information is generated including the identification information. The interruption information and the resume information concerning the application related to the interrupted communication are stored in association with each other.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2004Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ayaka Hamanaga, Tadakatsu Masaki
