A game mat according to an aspect of the present technology is a mat including: a mobile terminal antenna that receives a radio wave output by a reader/writer of a mobile terminal that communicates with a server that manages a game using an IC card; an IC card antenna that communicates with the IC card including an IC chip for an IC card in which reading/writing of data is performed contactlessly by a command transmitted from the reader/writer; a memory that stores a mat ID, which is identification information of a mat; and an internal IC chip that receives a command transmitted from the reader/writer and stores, into the memory in association with the mat ID, information regarding the game transmitted from the server. The present technology can be applied to a play mat of a card game using a smartphone having an NFC function and an IC card.

Game mat, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

There is provided an antenna device, a control method, and a program that control enabling or disabling of a plurality of IC card antennas by using a mobile terminal. The antenna device includes: a mobile terminal antenna that receives a radio wave output by a reader/writer provided in a mobile terminal; a plurality of IC card antennas that communicates with an IC card including an IC chip for the IC card that reads/writes data in a contactless manner in response to a command transmitted by the reader/writer; and a control circuit that operates by using power generated when the mobile terminal antenna receives the radio wave output by the reader/writer and controls enabling or disabling of each of the IC card antennas in response to the command transmitted by the reader/writer. The present technology is applicable to a playmat used for a card game using a smartphone having an NFC function and an IC card.
