  • Patent number: 9747476
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including an IC module that performs communication with an external apparatus, a detection unit that detects an electric wave, a timer that measures a time course after being started, a power supply unit that supplies a power source to the IC module, and a control unit that controls a supply amount of the power source based on a detection result of the electric wave and a determination result of a value of the timer. The control unit starts the timer after terminating communication with the external apparatus, restarts the timer every time a transmission start of an electric wave is detected, in response to detection of an electric wave received from an outside at a predetermined interval in the detection unit.

  • Patent number: 8756702
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that allow a provision server of an application to be capable of easily causing an electronic apparatus having an IC chip to manage data. When a service-issuing command transmitted from a service-issuing terminal 11 is received, in a service-issuing function 21 of an IC card 2, information indicating a service data structure and a program describing a processing sequence that correspond to an identifier transmitted as a command parameter are acquired from a service definition database 23. In the service-issuing function 21, IC-card internal processing is performed, and a service data structure for managing data to be used for receiving the provision of a specific application is prepared in a file system 22. The present invention can be applied to an apparatus having an IC chip.
