Abstract: A plurality of services are defined for one service memory field (overlap service), and a plurality of access methods, such as “only read” and “read/write”, are set in the service memory field. When an overlap service is defined, a PIN code may be set to each service. For example, when two services “read” and “read/write” can be started corresponding to a service memory field, two PIN codes are set.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to prevent a start-up locked state from being released by a third party other than a rightful driver. After a movable body 31 has been set in a state of halted operations (a start-up locked state) by a start-up lock setting unit 830, a rightful driver must contact a manager on a terminal device 11 side when this driver forgets a password or hands over to another driver. Having received contact, the manager transmits a start-up lock release command from the terminal 11 side to the movable body 31 via communication units 1 (see FIG. 1), whereby the state of halted operations (start-up locked state) in the movable body 31 is released.

Abstract: An IC card issuer issues an IC card and requests a card memory area operator to lend part of a memory area of the IC card to another card memory area user. The card memory area operator provides a memory area division apparatus and various data to the memory area division apparatus under the control of an operator communication apparatus 12. The card memory area user divides the memory area of the IC card into a memory area to be used by the IC card issuer and a memory area to be used by the card memory area user. The operation file registration apparatus writes file data for the card memory area user to the memory area of the card memory area user obtained by the above division.

The second information processor includes an accepting unit to accept an operation by a user; a second communication unit to transmit operation information to the first information processor and receive the data information from the first information processor; and a received data storage unit to store the data information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system, a communication device, and a communication method for easily solving a problem of a hidden terminal. Communication devices 1 and 3 determine whether or not an electromagnetic wave at the level of a magnetic-flux density TH1 or more for determining the suppression of the output of carrier. When the electromagnetic wave at the level of the magnetic-flux density TH1 or more for determining the suppression of the output of the carrier is not detected, the communication devices 1 and 3 start the output of the electromagnetic wave. A communication device 2 needs the electromagnetic wave at the level of a magnetic-flux density TH2 or more of the carrier at an operating limit, which is higher than the magnetic-flux density TH1 for determining suppression of the output of carrier so as to obtain data via the electromagnetic wave. The present invention is applied to, e.g., an IC (Integrated Circuit) card system.

Abstract: In a print processing system including an information processing apparatus and a print server capable of communicating with the information processing apparatus via a network, the information processing apparatus generates a first signature from original data specified to be printed, and write the generated first signature into an IC card. The original data is transmitted to the print server via the network. In the print server, a second signature is calculated from the original data received from the information processing apparatus, and is compared with the first signature read from the IC card. If the comparison indicates that the first signature is identical to the second signature, a printer prints the original data received from the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication system and communication method which enable various types of near field communication, and a data processing apparatus. NFC communication apparatuses 1 to 3 have two features in that each can perform communication in two communication modes and that each can perform data transmission at a plurality of transfer rates. The two communication modes consist of a passive mode and an active mode. In the passive mode, between the NFC communication apparatuses 1 and 2, for example, the NFC communication apparatus 1 transmits data to the NFC communication apparatus 2 by modulating electromagnetic waves generated by itself, while the NFC communication apparatus 2 transmits data to the NFC communication apparatus 1 by performing load modulation on the electromagnetic waves generated by the NFC communication apparatus 1.

Abstract: There is provided a traveling machine management system in which terminals used on different traveling machines can be managed on a server. In a traveling machine management system having terminals provided on traveling machines and a server through a communication channel connected to the terminals for managing the traveling machines, unique and fixed identifiers are given to the terminals, and the server has unit for acquiring the identifiers of the terminals and a unit for managing the communication period of the terminals based on the acquired identifiers. The use of the identifiers unique to the terminals allows management to be carried out independently of the traveling machines even when the terminals are used on different traveling machines.

Abstract: A communication apparatus and a communication method prevent responses from being simultaneously received from two or more communicating parties. A first NFC apparatus transmits data for requesting IDs, and acquires IDs sent from second and third NFC apparatuses in reply to the request. After acquiring the IDs of the second and third NFC apparatuses, the first NFC apparatus transmits data that includes their IDs as the data for the second and third NFC apparatuses. If the first NFC apparatus cannot properly acquire the IDs of the second and third NFC apparatuses, then it sends the data for requesting their IDs again. Upon receipt of the request for the IDs, the second and third NFC apparatuses generate their own IDs by using random numbers and send the generated IDs. If the second and third NFC apparatuses receive the request for their IDs again, then they re-generate their own IDs by using random numbers, and send the re-generated IDs again.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus that allows separately forming regions having different roles. When an area definition region #0100h is newly formed under an area definition region #0000h that is formed on an IC card, information of the area definition region #0100h is encrypted using a service key stored in an area registration service definition region #0020h that is formed in advance, and the encrypted information is supplied to the IC card. Upon receiving that information, the IC card decrypts the encrypted information using the service key stored in the area registration service definition region #0020h. Then, the area definition region #0100h is formed based on the result of decryption. The present invention may be applied to an IC card that exchanges information in a non-contact manner and to an apparatus that exchanges data with the IC card.
