  • Patent number: 7974603
    Abstract: To stop functions of a subscriber authentication module regardless of whether a roaming network is based on IMT-2000 or GSM. HLR of a mobile communication network based on IMT-2000 has a stop information addition part instructing a RAND field of an authentication vector used for authentication of USIM to cause part or all of functions in the subscriber authentication module to stop. The USIM mounted in a mobile terminal has a function stop part executing to cause part or all of functions of the subscriber authentication module to stop, an identification part that refers to information identifying stop information contained in received data and transmits the stop information to a function stop part, and an operation part for performing a predetermined operation using the received data.

  • Patent number: 7817984
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal includes a communication unit, a wireless communication unit, a contents acquisition unit, a contents storage unit, a verification unit, and an output permission determination unit. The communication unit communicates with an IC card. The wireless communication unit provides wireless communication using user information stored in the IC card. The contents acquisition unit acquires contents using the user information. The contents storage unit stores the contents in a form so as to be associated with user identification information acquired from the IC card. The verification unit verifies whether or not the user identification information acquired from the IC card matches the user identification information, which is stored in the contents storage unit so as to be associated with contents to be outputted. The output permission determination unit determines whether or not output of the contents should be permitted, receiving verification results obtained by the verification unit.

  • Patent number: 6644554
    Abstract: A use information judging means compares use information recorded in use information recording means with a predetermined condition value to judge whether or not the use information agrees with the predetermined condition value. When the use information judges that the use information agrees with the condition value, rewriting means rewrites content information stored in content information storing means. The use information can include an accumulated used amount of money or use times. The content information can include a royalty service rate, a premium rate or a limit of usable amount of money.

  • Patent number: 4720626
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an IC card, and a processing device for the IC card and a processing method therefor. The IC card comprises a semiconductor IC in which a large number of data are stored. There are provided a winding which picks up an electromagnetic field for forming a power current with respect to the semiconductor IC, and another winding and a Hall element for picking up the data of the semiconductor IC or writing the data into the semiconductor IC. These semiconductor IC, windings and the Hall element are all assembled within a card member of plastics. A device for processing this card comprises a winding for forming an electromagnetic field as a source of power current, another winding and a Hall element for transmitting data to the IC card and receiving it therefrom, and a circuit cooperative with these windings and the Hall element. These IC card and the processing device electromagnetically effects transmission of power current and data in accordance with so called a non-contact system.
