An application providing system is provided. The application providing system includes a portable terminal device having an IC chip configured to perform radio communications; and a server device; the application providing system connecting the portable terminal device and the server device through a communication network, wherein the portable terminal device includes a transmitted message receiver section, an application determination section, an application transmission request generation section, and an application storage section, wherein the server device includes a transmitted message generation section, a transmitted message sender section, an application transmission request receiver section, an application storage section, and an application sender section.

Application providing system, portable terminal devices, server device, application providing method and computer programs

There is provided an information processing system that includes an information processing terminal equipped with an IC chip capable of non-contact communication with a reader/writer, a data provider device that stores a first data record for creating service data, and a control information processing device that creates the service data and transmits the service data to the information processing terminal. The information processing terminal includes a terminal communication portion that acquires the first data record from the data provider device and transmits the first data record to the control information processing device. The control information processing device includes a control communication portion that receives the first data record, a control storage portion that stores a second data record for creating the service data, and a data creation portion that creates the service data based on the first data record and the second data record.

Information processing system, control information processing device, and program

A theme change system includes a portable communication device; and a server apparatus, wherein the portable communication device and the server apparatus are connected to each other via a communication network. The portable communication device includes a theme request section making a request for theme data related to an interface between a user and a process execution part for performing processing in accordance with a request from the user to the server apparatus, a theme management section determining permission and non-permission about the reception of the theme data requested by the theme request section and storing, in a storage section, the theme data, and an interface output section outputting the interface on the basis of the theme data when the process execution part is started or while the process execution part is being started. The server apparatus includes a transmission section transmitting theme data to the portable communication device.

Theme change system, portable communication device, server apparatus, and computer program

There is provided an information processing terminal that is provided with an IC chip that is capable of non-contact communication with a reader/writer. The information processing terminal includes a first storage portion, a second storage portion, and a data transfer portion. The first storage portion is provided within the IC chip and is capable of storing at least one type of data item that is used by the IC chip. The second storage portion is disposed outside the IC chip. The data transfer portion transfers the data item between the first storage portion and the second storage portion in accordance with a user input.

Information processing terminal, data transfer method, and program

An information processing apparatus includes a first communication unit that receives management data including at least identification information of content data from a different device by using a first communication method. The apparatus also includes an output unit that outputs a first display based on the management information received by the first communication unit. Further, the apparatus includes a selection acceptation unit that accepts a selection of the content data according to a selection operation on the first display. The apparatus additionally includes a second communication that sends a request for the content data of which the selection acceptation unit accepts the selection to the different device and receives the content data corresponding to the request by using a second communication method whose communication range is wider than that of the first communication method.

Information processing apparatus, and method and information processing system

There is provided a wireless communication system that includes two information communication terminals with built-in IC chips engaged in alternating wireless communication with each other through noncontact communication, wherein one of the information communication terminals includes a reception unit that receives a packet originating from the other information communication terminal, a transmission unit that wirelessly transmits a single packet or a plurality of packets to the other information communication terminal by transmitting all packets that can be transmitted to the other information communication terminal instead of engaging in alternating wireless communication if a specific condition is satisfied and an identifier appending unit that appends a last packet identifier to a packet to be transmitted last from the transmission unit among all the packets that can be transmitted to the other information communication terminal.
