Abstract
A communication device is provided. The communication device includes an IC chip configured to read out information stored in an external device; and a communication unit configured to download an agent via a network, wherein the agent includes an application software configured to operate the IC chip as a reader, and wherein a role is provided as data associated with the application software in which at least part of a processing of the reader is performed by the agent, and wherein the communication device is configured to read out the information from the external device and to perform a predetermined processing based on the information.
Claims12
A communication device, comprising:
- an IC chip configured to read out information about an item stored in an external device;
- and
- a store unit configured to store an application software,
- wherein the application software is configured to operate the IC chip as a reader,
- wherein the communication device is configured to download a role via a network,
- wherein the role is provided as data in which at least part of a processing of the reader is performed by the application software, and
- wherein the communication device is configured to read out the item from the external device and to perform a predetermined processing thereon.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program in a communication device, the computer program causing the communication device to:
- cause an IC chip to read out information about an item stored in an external device;
- and
- cause a store unit to store an application software,
- wherein the application software is configured to operate the IC chip as a reader,
- wherein the communication device is configured to download a role via a network,
- wherein the role is provided as data in which at least part of a processing of the reader is performed by the application software, and
- wherein the communication device is configured to read out the item from the external device and to perform a predetermined processing thereon.
An information processing device, comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate, via a network, with a communication device having an IC chip configured to read out information stored in an external device, and a store unit configured to store an application software, wherein the application software is configured to operate the IC chip as a reader,
- wherein the communication unit transmits display data of a role-download activation page to the communication device in response to a request for acquiring the role-download activation page being transmitted through the network from the communication device,
- wherein the communication unit transmits a role to the communication device via the network in response to receiving an access from the communication device based on a link in the role-download activation page,
- wherein the role is provided as data in which at least part of a processing of the reader is performed by the application software, and
- wherein the communication device is configured to read out the item from the external device and to perform a predetermined processing thereon.
