Mobile communication terminal and computer program thereof, IC card and computer program thereof, and mobile communication terminal system

A storage medium encoded with a machine readable computer program code for executing a wireless communication for a mobile communication terminal, the storage medium including instructions for causing a computer to implement a method comprising the steps of:

• communicating with an IC card detachably mounted onto the mobile communication terminal;
• providing wireless communication using user information stored in the IC card;
• acquiring contents using the user information stored in the IC card;
• storing the contents in a form so as to be associated with user identification information acquired from the IC card;
• verifying whether or not the user identification information acquired from the IC card matches the user identification information, which is stored in the storing step so as to be associated with contents to be outputted, when the stored contents are outputted to the IC card;
• and
• determining whether or not output of the contents should be permitted, receiving verification results obtained in the verifying step.

An IC card which is mounted onto a mobile communication terminal, the IC card comprising:

• a user information storage unit configured to store user information which is to be used by the mobile communication terminal for performing wireless communication;
• a communication unit that communicates with the mobile communication terminal onto which the IC card is mounted;
• a contents storage unit that stores contents received via the mobile communication terminal and output restriction information with respect to the contents;
• and
• an output permission determination unit, wherein when the output permission determination unit receives an output instruction to output the contents from the mobile communication terminal, the output permission determination unit determines whether or not output of the contents to the mobile communication terminal should be permitted, based upon the output restriction information with respect to the contents and attributes of the mobile communication terminal.

A mobile communication terminal system comprising:

• a mobile communication terminal;
• and
• an IC card,
• wherein the mobile communication terminal includes:
• a first communication unit that communicates with the IC card detachably mounted onto the mobile communication terminal;
• a wireless communication unit that provides wireless communication using user information stored in the IC card;
• a contents acquisition unit that acquires contents using the user information stored in the IC card;
• a first contents storage unit that stores the contents acquired by the contents acquisition unit in a form so as to be associated with user identification information acquired from the IC card;
• a verification unit that verifies whether or not the user identification information acquired from the IC card matches the user identification information, which is stored in the first contents storage unit so as to be associated with contents to be outputted, when the contents stored in the first contents storage unit are outputted to the IC card;
• and
• a first output permission determination unit that determines whether or not output of the contents should be permitted, receiving verification results obtained by the verification unit, and
• wherein the IC card includes:
• a user information storage unit configured to store user information which is to be used by the mobile communication terminal for performing wireless communication;
• a second communication unit that communicates with the mobile communication terminal onto which the IC card is mounted;
• a second contents storage unit that stores contents received via the mobile communication terminal and output restriction information with respect to the contents;
• and
• a second output permission determination unit, wherein when the second output permission determination unit receives an output instruction to output the contents from the mobile communication terminal, the second output permission determination unit determines whether or not output of the contents to the mobile communication terminal should be permitted, based upon the output restriction information with respect to the contents and attributes of the mobile communication terminal.

A mobile communication terminal system comprising:

• an IC card including a user information storage unit that stores user information and a communication unit that externally communicates;
• and
• a mobile communication terminal including a card communication unit that communicates with the IC card detachably mounted onto the mobile communication terminal, a wireless communication unit that conducts wireless communication using user information stored in the IC card, a contents acquisition unit that externally acquires contents via the wireless communication unit, and a contents reproduction unit that reproduces and executes the contents acquired by the contents acquisition unit,
• wherein the contents acquisition unit acquires contents which can be divided into a first part and a second part,
• wherein the mobile communication terminal further includes a first contents storage unit that stores the first part of the contents, the mobile communication terminal transmitting the second part of the contents to the IC card via the communication unit,
• wherein the IC card further includes a second contents storage unit that stores the second part of the contents received via the communication unit, and
• wherein the contents reproduction unit performs reproduction and execution of the contents using the first part of the contents stored in the first contents storage unit and the second part of the contents stored in the second contents storage unit of the IC card.
