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

A portable terminal issues an authentication process request for an information storage medium to an information processing apparatus by using terminal information indicative of an information terminal, which performs authentication of the information storage medium without performing short-range wireless communication with the information storage medium. The information processing apparatus has the portable terminal output an authentication information request to the information storage medium by short-range wireless communication, performs authentication of the information storage medium on the basis of an authentication information answer, and outputs, to the portable terminal, approval information to be used when the information terminal is to acquire a result of authentication of the information storage medium from the information processing apparatus. The portable terminal performs display based on the approval information. The information terminal can acquire an authentication result relating to a user of the information storage medium from the information processing apparatus, by using the displayed permission information. Accordingly, authentication of an information storage medium for which reading out and writing of information can be performed by proximity wireless communication can be performed by an information terminal that does not have a proximity wireless communication function.

Information processing apparatus and portable terminal as well as information processing method

A communication method includes: a first transmission step of transmitting first setting information and first network organization information regarding one information processing apparatus of a second network via a first communication path; a first determination step of determining a role of communication with a first master apparatus via a second communication path on the basis of the first network organization information and role adjustment information; a second transmission step of transmitting second setting information and second network organization information to the first master apparatus via the first communication path; a second determination step of determining a role of the communication with a second master apparatus via the second communication path on the basis of the second network organization information and role adjustment information by the first master apparatus; and a first communication start step of starting the communication via the second communication path with another information processing apparatus.

An information processing apparatus and an information processing system that enable a settlement at a real shop without complicated operation is proposed. There is provided an information processing apparatus including: a unique information acquisition unit that acquires unique information, regarding a settlement at a real shop, generated by a user terminal via a real-shop terminal; a verification unit that verifies the unique information; and a settlement processing unit that sends the unique information to a settlement service provider so that the settlement service provider performs settlement processing on the basis of the unique information.

Information processing apparatus and information processing system

There is provided an information processing device including a processing unit that authenticates a communication target device on a basis of predetermined information transmitted from the communication target device by broadcast in communication in a first communication scheme, the predetermined information being used in a process to be performed in communication in a second communication scheme that is different from the first communication scheme, and establishes the communication with the communication target device in the first communication scheme in a case in which authentication is completed.

Information processing device and information processing method

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.
