Abstract
This disclosure relates to the prevention of theft of information from the information stored in a card which can perform non-contact communication. A non-contact communication card having an interface for communicating information in a non-contact state communicates with, for example, an external non-contact communication apparatus only within a designated period of time. A user may be allowed to control the execution of non-contact communication by providing a card with an input component which designates permission/prohibition of communication. Providing the card with a recoding component which records a communication log allows the user to check which kinds of non-contact communication have been executed.
Claims15
A non-contact communication type card comprising:
- a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state;
- a time designation component which designates a communication permission time;
- and
- a communication control component which determines, upon receiving a communication request, whether or not the communication permission time designated by said time designation component has been reached, permits communication by said communication component when determining that the permission time has been reached, and prohibits communication by said communication component when determining that the permission time has not been reached.
A non-contact communication type card comprising:
- a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state;
- a designation component which designates permission/prohibition of communication;
- and
- a communication control component which prohibits communication by said communication component when prohibition of communication is designated by said designation component.
A non-contact communication type card comprising:
- a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state;
- a recording component which records a log of communication performed by said communication component;
- and
- a display component which displays information recorded by said recording component.
A non-contact communication apparatus control method of controlling a non-contact communication apparatus which has a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state, comprising:
- a time designation step of designating a communication permission time;
- and
- a communication control step of determining, upon receiving a communication request, whether or not the communication permission time designated in the time designation step has been reached, permitting communication by the communication component when determining that the permission time has been reached, and prohibiting communication by the communication component when determining that the permission time has not been reached.
A control method for a non-contact communication apparatus which has a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state, and a designation component which designates permission/prohibition of communication, comprising
- a communication control step of prohibiting communication by the communication component when prohibition of communication is designated by the designation component.
A control method for a non-contact communication apparatus which has a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state, comprising:
- a recording step of recording a log of communication performed by the communication component;
- and
- a display step of displaying information recorded in the recording step.
A computer program for controlling a non-contact communication apparatus which has a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state, the program causing a computer to execute:
- a time designation step of designating a communication permission time;
- and
- a communication control step of determining, upon receiving a communication request, whether or not the communication permission time designated in the time designation step has been reached, permitting communication by the communication component when determining that the permission time has been reached, and prohibiting communication by the communication component when determining that the permission time has not been reached.
A computer program for controlling a non-contact communication apparatus which has a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state, and a designation component which designates permission/prohibition of communication, the program causing a computer to execute
- a communication control step of prohibiting communication by the communication component when prohibition of communication is designated by the designation component.
A computer program for controlling a non-contact communication apparatus which has a communication component which communicates information in a non-contact state, the program causing a computer to execute:
- a recording step of recording a log of communication performed by the communication component;
- and
- a display step of displaying information recorded in the recording step.
