Abstract

A non-contact IC card include a data transmitting/receiving device, a memory, a CPU, a first determining device, a second determining device, and a stopping device. When the data transmitting/receiving device receives a request signal, the first determining device determines whether first system identification information stored in the memory agrees with second system identification information contained in the request signal. At the same time, the second determining device determines whether use of the IC card indicated by use authorization information stored in the memory is authorized. When the first and second system identification information do not agree or when the use authorization information indicates that use of the IC card is not authorized, the stopping device stops the operation of the CPU until the next request signal is received.

Claims6

Dependent claims

A non-contact IC card comprising:

data transmitting/receiving means for exchanging data with an external unit without direct contact;
a memory storing system identification information identifying a system including said IC card and the external unit intended exchange data without direct contact and use authorization information indicating whether use of said IC card is authorized;
data processing means connected to said data transmitting/receiving means and said memory for processing a request signal received by said data transmitting/receiving means and for generating a response signal for transmission to the external unit through said data transmitting/receiving means;
first determining means connected to said data transmitting/receiving means and said memory for determining, when said data transmitting/receiving means receives a request signal, whether the system identification information stored in said memory agrees with system identification information in the request signal identifying the system;
second determining means connected to said data transmitting/receiving means and said memory for determining, when said data transmitting/receiving means receives a request signal, whether the use authorization information stored in said memory indicates that use of said IC card is authorized;
and
stopping means connected to said data processing means and said first and second determining means for stopping, when at least one of said first determining means determines that the system identification information in said memory does not agree with the system identification information in a request signal and said second determining means determines that use of said IC card is not authorized, operation of said data processing means until said data transmitting/receiving means receives another request signal.

A non-contact IC card comprising:

data transmitting/receiving means for exchanging data with an external unit without direct contact;
a memory storing control information, system identification information identifying a system including said IC card and the external unit intended to exchange data without direct contact, and use authorization information indicating whether use of said IC card is authorized;
collating means connected to said data transmit-ting/receiving means and said memory for collating collation information contained in a request signal with the control information stored in said memory in response to a request signal received by said data transmitting/receiving means;
data processing means connected to said memory and said collating means for reading from said memory data based on a collation by said collating means for generating a response signal transmitted through said data transmitting/receiving means;
first determining means connected to said data transmitting/receiving means and said memory for determining, when said data transmitting/receiving means receives a request signal, whether the system identification information stored in said memory agrees with system identification information in the request signal identifying the system;
second determining means connected to said data transmitting/receiving means and said memory for determining, when said data transmitting/receiving means receives a request signal, whether the use authorization information stored in said memory indicates that use of said IC card is authorized;
and
stopping means connected to said first and second determining means and said data transmitting/receiving means for stopping, when at least one of said first determining means determines that the system identification information in said memory does not agree with the system identification information in a request signal and said second determining means determines that use of said IC card is not authorized, operation of said data processing means until said data transmitting/receiving means receives another request signal.
