## Abstract

A mobile terminal is provided which is capable of managing contact-less card function content, while acquiring and deleting the contact-less card function content with ease. The mobile terminal according to the present invention has a terminal operating system (OS) that executes various functions of the mobile terminal, a Felica application manager (FAM), a Felica device driver that drives a Felica OS according to control of the FAM, and a Felica chip that stores Felica content. The FAM operates a Java applications manager that manages Java applications having the network computing function, API to start a browser, that executes API, and other applications such as a the browser, a menu and a Felica viewer.

## Claims

### Claim 11

A mobile communications terminal comprising:
a terminal body;
a terminal operation system that operates various functions used in the terminal body;
a contact-less card storage that stores contact-less card function content; and
a contact-less card function controller that performs control to use the contact-less card function content using the various functions.

### Claim 12

A mobile communications terminal comprising:
a terminal body;
a contact-less card storage that stores contact-less card function content;
a contact-less card function controller that performs control to use the contact-less card function content; and
an acquirer that directly acquires the contact-less card function content,
wherein the contact-less card function controller performs control of acquisition and deletion of the contact-less card function content via an application that provides the contact-less card function content, while further performing control of acquisition of the contact-less card function content via the acquirer.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The mobile communications terminal as defined by claim 11 wherein the contact-less card function controller has an association table that associates the contact-less card function content with the application that provides the contact-less card function content.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The mobile communications terminal as defined by claim 13 wherein the association table has a deletion URL for each piece of the contact-less card function content used in deleting the contact-less card function content, and the contact-less card function controller requests to the deletion URL in deleting the contact-less card function content on a display screen when a viewer function is used.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The mobile communications terminal as defined by claim 13 wherein said contact-less card function controller updates the contact-less card function content in the association table when new contact-less card function content is added to the contact-less card storage.

### Claim 16 (depends on 11)

The mobile communications terminal as defined by claim 11 wherein the contact-less card storage has a plurality of areas to store the contact-less card function content.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The mobile communications terminal as defined by claim 16 wherein the various functions include a viewer function, and using the viewer function, the contact-less card function controller displays the contact-less card function content for each of the plurality of areas in the storage.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The mobile communications terminal as defined by claim 17 wherein the contact-less card function controller deletes the contact-less card function content on the display screen in using the viewer function.

### Claim 19

A contact-less card function management system comprising:
a mobile communications terminal including a terminal body;
a terminal operation system that operates various functions used in the terminal body;
a contact-less card storage that stores contact-less card function content;
a contact-less card function controller that performs control to use the contact-less card function content using the various functions; and
a contact-less card function content server which is connected to the mobile communications terminal, and stores a plurality of pieces of contact-less card function content obtained from providers that provide the contact-less card function content.

### Claim 20

A contact-less card function acquisition system comprising:
a mobile communications terminal; and
a server of a provider that is connected to the mobile communications terminal and that provides contact-less card function content,
wherein said mobile communications terminal has
a terminal body;
a contact-less card storage that stores the contact-less card function content;
a contact-less card function controller that performs control to use the contact-less card function content; and
an acquirer that directly acquires the contact-less card function content, and when the contact-less card function content is acquired via the acquirer, said contact-less card function controller acquires content information related to the acquired contact-less card function content from the server.

### Claim 21 (depends on 14)

The mobile communications terminal as defined by claim 14 wherein said contact-less card function controller updates the contact-less card function content in the association table when new contact-less card function content is added to the contact-less card storage.
