Abstract
A multifunction card includes an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a memory, a processor, and a communicator. The memory stores first software which is executed by the processor and realizes a card payment function, second software which is executed by the processor and realizes a function other than the card payment function, biometric data for a user capable of using the card payment function, and setting data which represents that biometric authentication for the first software is necessary and whether biometric authentication for the second software is necessary.
Claims11
A multifunction card comprising an integrated circuit including a non-transitory memory, a processor, and a communicator, wherein the non-transitory memory stores first software executed by the processor to realize a card payment function, second software executed by the processor to realize an other function than the card payment function, biometric data for a user using the card payment function, and setting data indicative of a necessity of biometric authentication with respect to the first software and indicative of whether or not the biometric authentication is necessary with respect to the second software, and the processor receives a command from an external device via the communicator, and if the command corresponds to the first software, the processor determines that the biometric authentication is necessary with respect to the first software based on the setting data, reads the biometric data from the non-transitory memory, transmits the biometric data to the external device via the communicator, receives a first biometric authentication result with respect to the biometric data from the external device via the communicator, and transmits first data of card payment corresponding to the first software to the external device via the communicator if the first biometric authentication result indicates success, and if the command corresponds to the second software, the processor determines whether or not the biometric authentication is necessary with respect to the second software based on the setting data, transmits second data with respect to the second software to the external device via the communicator if the biometric authentication is unnecessary, reads the biometric data from the non-transitory memory and transmits the biometric data to the external device via the communicator if the biometric authentication is necessary, receives a second biometric authentication result with respect to the biometric data from the external device via the communicator, and transmits the second data with respect to the second software to the external device via the communicator if the second biometric authentication result indicates success, and wherein the processor stores history data in a non-transitory memory, and the history data includes data associating the first biometric authentication result, first software identification data indicative of the first software, and first time data corresponding to the first biometric authentication result together if the first biometric authentication result is received, or includes data associating the second biometric authentication result, second software identification data indicative of the second software, and second time data corresponding to the second biometric authentication result together if the second biometric authentication result is received.
A multifunction card comprising an integrated circuit including a non-transitory memory, a processor, and a communicator, wherein the non-transitory memory stores first software executed by the processor to realize a card payment function, second software executed by the processor to realize an other function than the card payment function, biometric data for a user using the card payment function, and setting data indicative of a necessity of biometric authentication with respect to the first software and indicative of whether or not the biometric authentication is necessary with respect to the second software, and the processor receives a command from an external device via the communicator, and if the command corresponds to the first software, the processor determines that the biometric authentication is necessary with respect to the first software based on the setting data, reads the biometric data from the non-transitory memory, transmits the biometric data to the external device via the communicator, receives a first biometric authentication result with respect to the biometric data from the external device via the communicator, and transmits first data of card payment corresponding to the first software to the external device via the communicator if the first biometric authentication result indicates success, and if the command corresponds to the second software, the processor determines whether or not the biometric authentication is necessary with respect to the second software based on the setting data, transmits second data with respect to the second software to the external device via the communicator if the biometric authentication is unnecessary, reads the biometric data from the non-transitory memory and transmits the biometric data to the external device via the communicator if the biometric authentication is necessary, receives a second biometric authentication result with respect to the biometric data from the external device via the communicator, and transmits the second data with respect to the second software to the external device via the communicator if the second biometric authentication result indicates success, and wherein the biometric data includes a plurality of biometric data corresponding to a plurality of users, the setting data indicates a grant of use of the second software if the second biometric authentication result indicates success with respect to the users, and the processor sequentially reads the plurality of the biometric data corresponding to the users granted to use the second software based on the setting data if the command corresponds to the second software, transmits the read biometric data to the external device via the communicator, receives the second biometric authentication result with respect to the read biometric data from the external device via the communicator, and transmits the second data with respect to the second software to the external device via the communicator if the second biometric authentication result indicates success.
