A communication apparatus () according to the present disclosure is a communication apparatus () that performs non-contact communication with an external apparatus () via a memory () of the external apparatus (). The communication apparatus () includes a control unit (). The control unit () receives a message including a parameter related to the control of the non-contact communication. The control unit () performs the non-contact communication with the external apparatus () on the basis of the parameter.

Communication apparatus and communication method

There is provided an information processing device including: a processing unit configured to select a first processing mode in which static information is transmitted or a second processing mode in which dynamic information according to a process is transmitted on a basis of a predetermined request recognized in contactless communication with an external device and to perform a process corresponding to a selected processing mode. The processing unit selects the first processing mode in a case in which the recognized predetermined request is a read request for causing information to be transmitted and selects the second processing mode in a case in which the recognized predetermined request is a write request for causing information to be written in a recording medium.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

The present technology relates to a communication device, a control method, and a program which enable reliable selection of a desired target. A CLF transmits a polling command received from a NFC reader for selecting a candidate of a final target to targets, selects the candidate of the final target, by setting a P2P application as a target having the highest priority in the selection of the candidate of the final target, selects the final target based on a command other than the polling command received from the NFC reader, and controls to lower the priority of the P2P application, in a case where the P2P application is selected as the candidate of the final target and the P2P application is not selected as the final target. The present technology can be applied to a communication device supporting an NFC standard, for example.

Communication device, control method, program and front end

There is provided an information processing system to increase a speed of returning identification information in response to a received command in the case where an identification information requesting command is received, the information processing system including: a plurality of processing devices each of which includes a storage unit configured to store an identification information piece; a management device configured to acquire the identification information piece from each of the plurality of the processing devices; and a communication device configured to communicate with an external device. The management device writes the identification information piece acquired from each of the plurality of the processing devices into the communication device. The communication device outputs a command received from the external device to one of the plurality of the processing devices on the basis of write orders of the identification information pieces written into the communication device by the management device.

Information processing system, information processing method, management device, management method, communication device, communication method, and program

The present disclosure relates to a communication device and method capable of suppressing subjective quality deterioration at the time of a low bit rate. An application selection unit of an IC card selects an application hosted by a communication target device. Identification information of the communication target device is acquired after the application is selected. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a communication system.

Communication device and method

A communication device includes a first processing unit that detects a target and receives a first command for activating an interface upon a detection of the target. The communication device also includes a second processing unit that exchanges data with the target through the first processing unit. Further, the communication device includes an interface between the first processing unit and the second processing unit. The first processing unit selects a predetermined interface level from among a plurality of interface levels based on the first command and exchanges data with the second processing unit based on the predetermined interface level.

Communication apparatus, communication method, and program for exchanging data with a target

A communication device includes a first processing unit that sends a first command to start an activation processing. The communication device also includes a second processing unit that receives the first command from the first processing unit. In addition, the communication device includes an interface between the first processing unit and the second processing unit. The first processing unit activates the interface at a predetermined interface level from among a plurality of interface levels. The second processing unit starts an application in accordance with the activated interface level. The first processing unit and the second processing unit exchange data by the activated application. The first processing unit and the second processing unit perform a deactivation processing of the activated interface.

There is provided an integrated circuit capable of performing more secure encrypted communication using near field non-contact wireless communication. The integrated circuit including a communication processing section configured to communicate with another apparatus through non-contact communication, and an encryption information generation section configured to make a determination on generation of authentication information used to mutually authenticate the other apparatus in performing non-contact communication with the other apparatus depending on presence or absence of a history of non-contact communication with the other apparatus, before the communication processing section executes communication of encrypted information with the other apparatus. The integrated circuit allows more secure near field non-contact wireless communication to be performed.

Integrated circuit, communication method, computer program, and communication apparatus

An information processing apparatus including processing units and a connection control unit that controls the connections between the processing units, in which the connection control unit is provided with a table creation unit which, with respect to a first logical channel established with a processing unit, creates table information showing a correspondence between logical channels without designating a logical channel that corresponds to the first logical channel when there is no second logical channel established with another processing unit that corresponds to the first logical channel, a table storage unit that stores the table information created by the table creation unit, and a table update unit that updates the table information for the second logical channel that is stored in the table storage unit so as to configure the first logical channel as a logical channel that corresponds to the second logical channel when there is a second logical channel.
