| 20080261523 | Communication Device and Method, and Program - The present invention relates to a device and a method for communication, and a program that makes it possible to provide a communication environment not limited by a use environment. An electrode controlling unit | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080290156 | ELECTRONIC MONEY SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC MONEY TERMINAL DEVICE, AND INFORMATION CARD - An electronic money system includes a plurality of electronic money terminals for withdrawing a sum of money which is spent by a user from money data which has been deposited into an information card. Utilization-history data including the number of times the information card has been utilized, and accumulated in the information card is read out at the time when data relating to the spent money is also withdrawn from the information card. Utilization-history data read out from each of the electronic money terminals are gathered and coordinated, so as to coordinate and tabulate the utilization-histories of the information card which has been utilized on any of the plurality electronic money terminals | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090033488 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND NON-CONTACT IC CARD DEVICE - An information processing method includes the steps of: detecting a magnetic field variation that occurs in the vicinity of a receiving section that receives a magnetic field signal; determining whether or not a detection result satisfies a predetermined condition that is set in advance; connecting a storage section, which stores information included in the magnetic field signal received by the receiving section, to the receiving section if it is determined that the detection result does not satisfy the condition; and connecting the storage section to a reading section that reads information stored on the storage section, if it is determined that the detection result satisfies the condition. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090088114 | Communication Apparatus - A communication apparatus includes an antenna configured to generate a magnetic field corresponding to a signal of a first communication method; and a communication unit configured to perform communication via a communication medium by transmitting/receiving a signal of a second communication method by using a potential difference between the communication unit and a predetermined reference point, the communication unit including a transparent conductive film. The antenna and the communication unit are integrated with each other. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090106316 | INFORMATION RETAINING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM - An information retaining apparatus of the present invention has a storage unit which retains a plurality of information, an input unit which receives an input from a user, and a determination processing unit which extracts at least some of the plurality of information stored in the storage unit so as to display it according to the input from the input unit or the determination information transmitted from an information processing apparatus connected to the information retaining apparatus via a communication medium and process the information based on the expiration dates of the extracted information and attribute information of the information. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090173787 | INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, MEMORY MANAGEMENT METHOD FOR INFORMATION STORAGE DEVICE, MOBILE TERMINAL APPARATUS, SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DEVICE, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD USING MOBILE TERMINAL APPARATUS - A memory region on an IC card has a hierarchical structure. Each application allocated on the memory region is registered in a directory, and the memory region is managed in directory units. A personal identification code is set for each application and directory, and the access right is controlled in application units or directory units. If a mobile terminal is lost, the right to access each application in the IC card automatically disappears. Therefore, the right to access each application allocated to the memory region on the IC card is efficiently controlled. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090271314 | Electronic money system and electronic money terminal - An electronic money system terminates communication to a management center indistinguishably from a case in which the communication to the management center is completed within a predetermined period when it is impossible to complete the communication to the management center within the predetermined period. By switching an operation mode, a predetermined portable terminal is used instead of a communication line to upload and download data. When it is impossible to obtain data required for processing through the communication line, processing is performed based on data possessed up until that time. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090302690 | Transmission System, Power Supplying Apparatus, Power Receiving Apparatus, and Transmission Method - There is provided a transmission system, including a power supplying apparatus that includes an AC signal generation unit that generates an AC signal, a first resonance unit that has an induction component and/or a capacitance component and resonates the AC signal generated by the AC signal generation unit, and a power supplying electrode that externally radiates the resonated AC signal as a potential difference in an electrostatic field, and a power receiving apparatus that includes a power receiving electrode that generates an electric signal by sensing the potential difference in the electrostatic field, a second resonance unit that has an induction component and/or a capacitance component and resonates the electric signal generated by the power receiving electrode, and a rectification unit that rectifies the resonated electric signal. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090305641 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - There is provided a communication apparatus including a reference electrode; a signal electrode which electrostatically couples to a communication medium a measurement unit for measuring an impedance of a circuit system including between the reference electrode and the signal electrode; and a transmission processing unit for creating a potential difference between the signal electrode and the reference electrode based on a transmission power corresponding to the impedance of the circuit system measured by the measurement unit, and transmitting a signal to another communication apparatus electrostatically coupled to the communication medium. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100215056 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, AND PACKET LENGTH CONTROL METHOD - There is provided a communication apparatus includes a soft decision data detection section which detects soft decision data from a received digitally modulated signal; an indicator calculation section which calculates an indicator indicating a degree of variation in the soft decision data detected by the soft decision data detection section; and a packet length control section which controls a packet length in accordance with the indicator calculated by the indicator calculation section. | 08-26-2010 |
