It is desired to provide a device capable of performing interactive UI expression in accordance with predetermined processing. Provided is an information processing device including a first connection portion that is connected to another device, a first antenna that performs wireless communication with a reader/writer, and a communication control unit that controls wireless communication with the reader/writer via the first antenna and control wireless communication with the reader/writer via a second antenna of the another device through the first connection portion, in which the communication control unit controls reading of identification information from a memory on the basis of wireless communication with the reader/writer via the first antenna or the second antenna.

First information processing device, second information processing device, information processing method, and information processing system

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a display unit, and a plurality of sensor elements, wherein the plurality of sensor elements are provided separate from the display unit, wherein the display unit is configured to switch display between a plurality of output screens based on a user input on the plurality of sensor elements, the plurality of output screens including output screens having different hierarchical levels and output screens having a same hierarchical level, and wherein the output screens having different hierarchical levels display information on the different hierarchical levels, and the switching display is controlled to switch display directly between the output screens having different hierarchical levels based on the user input.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

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

Provided is a payment processing system for executing payment processing by transmitting and receiving payment data between a payment terminal and a payment server via a communication device, the payment terminal not including a dedicated network device for communication with the payment server, the payment data including at least payment amount information and service information to which a payment is to be executed. The payment terminal includes a payment data generation section configured to generate first payment data in which the payment amount information is encrypted, and a terminal communication unit configured to transmit the generated first payment data to the communication device by short range communication.

Payment processing system, payment terminal, communication device, payment server, and payment processing method

There is provided an information processing apparatus, a service processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing system, which are capable of appropriately determining a service processing apparatus as a connection destination from among a plurality of service processing apparatuses without using any special apparatus, the information processing apparatus including: a transmission control unit that causes a first communication unit to transmit an inquiry about whether or not processing of a first service requested by a user is able to be performed to a plurality of service processing apparatuses; and a connection destination determination unit that determines any service processing apparatus capable of performing the processing of the first service from among the plurality of service processing apparatuses as a connection destination on a basis of response information that is received from one or more of the plurality of service processing apparatuses.

Information processing apparatus, service processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and information processing system

There is provided an information processing device including: a processing unit configured to acquire device-related information including identification information with which a communication target device can be specified from the communication target device when first communication with the communication target device is started, and to perform a process via communication with the communication target device using the first communication or second communication whose communicable range is wider than the first communication. The processing unit starts the second communication using the acquired device-related information when the first communication is interrupted during execution of the process via communication based on the first communication and thus the process via communication that has been executed is uncompleted in the case in which the process via communication is performed using the first communication, and performs the uncompleted process via communication with the communication target device using the second communication.

Information processing device, information processing method, and program

Provided is an information processing device including: a processing unit configured to, when an information transmission control device is detected based on a signal transmitted from the information transmission control device using first communication, cause user information indicating a user to be transmitted to the information transmission control device using second communication whose communicable range is narrower than the first communication, and to acquire, using the first communication, distribution information transmitted from the information transmission control device that has acquired the user information.

Information processing device, information transmission control device, information processing method, information transmission control method, program, and information processing system

A method of processing information of an apparatus including first storage means for storing an encrypted application program and data, second storage means for loading a decrypted application program and data and execution means for executing the application program loaded in the second storage section, and controlling a reader/writer reading data from and writing data into a non-contact IC card by executing an application program. The method includes, in response to starting a first application program, reading data corresponding to a second application program different from the first application program from the second storage means; encrypting the read data; storing the encrypted data into the first storage means; clearing the second storage means; reading the encrypted first application program and data from the first storage means; decrypting the read encrypted first application program and data; and loading the decrypted first application program and data in the second storage means.

An encryption apparatus capable of effectively preventing encryption data from being illegally generated is provided. Based on apparatus identification data of an integrated circuit (IC), which is input from a computer, a secure application module (SAM) selects an encryption method from among a plurality of different encryption methods. Based on the code of the IC, the SAM selects plaintext data to be encrypted from among the plurality of different pieces of plaintext data. The SAM outputs encryption data such that the selected plaintext data is encrypted by the selected encryption method.

Encryption apparatus, program for use therewith, and method for use therewith

A data processing apparatus is provided which is capable of improving the responsiveness of communication in which only a maximum of one access request source has write authorization and the other access requests do not have write authorization when communication is performed with a plurality of access request sources. A management apparatus transmits, to a secure application module (SAM), a strong connection request requesting the obtainment of write authorization into the SAM. When it is determined that the strong connection has not already been assigned to the other management apparatuses, the SAM assigns the strong connection to the management apparatus in a state in which a weak connection having read authorization with the management apparatuses is maintained.
