Abstract
There is provided an information processing device comprising: a light emitting unit to supply light to a power generating means mounted on an IC card with a display function and generating a power by photoelectric conversion; a communication unit to transmit and receive data to and from the IC card; and a control unit to stop supply of light by the light emitting unit during communication with the IC card by the communication unit and stop communication by the communication unit during supply of light by the light emitting unit.
Claims8
An information processing device comprising:
- a light emitting unit to supply light to a power generating means mounted on an IC card with a display function and generating a power by photoelectric conversion;
- a communication unit to transmit and receive data to and from the IC card;
- and
- a control unit to stop supply of light by the light emitting unit during communication with the IC card by the communication unit and stop communication by the communication unit during supply of light by the light emitting unit.
A communication control method in an information processing device including a light emitting unit to supply light to a power generating means mounted on an IC card with a display function and generating a power by photoelectric conversion, and a communication unit to transmit and receive data to and from the IC card, the method comprising the steps of:
- stopping supply of light by the light emitting unit;
- performing data communication with the IC card by the communication unit;
- stopping communication by the communication unit;
- and
- starting supply of light by the light emitting unit.
A program causing a computer controlling an information processing device including a light emitting unit to supply light to a power generating means mounted on an IC card with a display function and generating a power by photoelectric conversion to implement functions comprising:
- a communication unit to transmit and receive data to and from the IC card;
- and
- a control unit to stop supply of light by the light emitting unit during communication with the IC card by the communication unit and stop communication by the communication unit during supply of light by the light emitting unit.
