There is provided a non-contact communication antenna including a first antenna pattern that is formed on one surface of a base material, and a second antenna pattern that is formed on a back surface of the one surface of the base material. The first antenna pattern includes a first coil section and a first electrode section. The second antenna pattern includes a second coil section and a second electrode section. Capacitance of the first electrode section and the second electrode section compensates a change in capacitance depending on a formation situation of the first coil section and the second coil section.

Non-contact communication antenna, communication device, and method for manufacturing non-contact communication antenna

An information processing terminal, including a request reception unit that receives a function request. A GPS signals reception unit that receives a GPS signal, and a current position measuring unit that determines the latitude and longitude of the current position of the information processing terminal based upon the GPS signal. A defining information recording unit in which defining information related to the functions that can be engaged at the information processing terminal is recorded. A function decision-making unit that makes a decision as to whether or not a function can be engaged based upon the defining information and the latitude and longitude of the current position having been measured by the current position measuring unit and a data read/write unit that reads/writes data from/into a data area among a plurality of data areas based upon the results of the decision made by the function decision-making unit.

Information processing terminal and computer program

A communication system includes a first information processing device, a plurality of processing portions, a storage portion, and a second information processing device. The first information processing device includes a processing command transmission portion that transmits to the second information processing device, by non-contact communication, a processing command that includes one of a plurality of identification information items. Each of the processing portions is uniquely associated with one of the identification information items. The storage portion stores a correspondence information item that indicates a correspondence between one of the identification information items and one of the processing portions. The second information processing device includes a processing portion selection portion that selects one of the processing portions to execute the processing command received from the first information processing device, based on the correspondence information item stored in the storage portion and on the identification information item included in the processing command.

Communication system, information processing method, and program product

A semiconductor integrated circuit device for use in a data communication apparatus includes setting means for setting, for each of a plurality of files that the semiconductor integrated circuit device manages, a flag indicating whether definition information functioning as information on each of the plurality of files is browsable or not browsable; and response sending means for sending, when provision of the definition information on a file is externally requested, a response falsely indicating that the semiconductor integrated circuit device is not managing the file existing in the plurality of files according to the flag set for the file indicating that the definition information on the file is not browsable.
