Abstract

A mobile communication terminal in accordance with the present invention includes a non-contact IC card into which an external IC-card reader/writer can write transaction information. The mobile communication terminal, when transaction information is written into the non-contact IC card, transforms the transaction information into an electric mail, and transmits the electric mail to a predetermined address.

Claims (22)

1. A mobile communication terminal comprising a non-contact IC card into which an external IC-card reader/writer can read or write transaction information from or to, wherein said mobile communication terminal, when transaction information is written to a memory of said non-contact IC card, also includes said transaction information in a communication message, and transmits said communication message to a predetermined address.

2. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said predetermined address is modified by a user by inputting an input address into said mobile communication terminal.

3. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said predetermined address modified after an authentication of said.

4. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 3 , wherein said authentication of said user takes place when said user inputs into said mobile communication terminal an authentication password which is identical to a predetermined password.

5. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said mobile communication terminal is a cellular phone.

6. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said non-contact IC card comprises an antenna, a communication unit for communicating with said external IC card reader/writer through said antenna, said memory, and a controller for controlling data sent between said communication unit and said memory.

7. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 6 , wherein said data is transaction information.

8. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said communication message is an electric mail message.

9. A method of transferring transaction information in a mobile communication terminal including a non-contact IC card into which an external IC-card reader/writer can write transaction information, comprising:

(a) when transaction information is written to a memory of said non-contact IC cards, including said transaction information in a communication message; and

(b) transmitting said communication message to a predetermined address.

10. The method as set forth in claim 9 , further comprising modifying said predetermined address by inputting an input address into said mobile communication terminal.

11. The method as set forth in claim 10 , further comprising authenticating a user of said mobile communication terminal when said user inputs said input address, before said predetermined address is modified.

12. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said non-contact IC card comprises an antenna, a communication unit for communicating with said external IC card reader/writer through said antenna, said memory, and a controller for controlling data sent between said communication unit and said memory.

13. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 9 , wherein said communication message is an electric mail message.

14. A program for causing a computer to carry out a method of transferring transaction information in a mobile communication terminal including a non-contact IC card into which an external IC-card reader/writer can write transaction information, steps executed by said computer in accordance with said program comprising:

(a) when transaction information is written to a memory of said non-contact IC card, including said transaction information in a communication message; and

(b) transmitting said communication message to a predetermined address.

15. The program as set forth in claim 14 , wherein said steps further include modifying said predetermined address when a user of said mobile communication terminal inputs an input address into said mobile communication terminal.

16. The program as set forth in claim 15 , wherein said steps further include authenticating a user at said mobile communication terminal when said user inputs said input address, before said predetermined address is modified.

17. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 14 , wherein said non-contact IC card comprises an antenna, a communication unit for communicating with said external IC card reader/writer through said antenna, said memory, and a controller for controlling data sent between said communication unit and said memory.

18. The mobile communication terminal as set forth in claim 14 , wherein said communication message is an electric mail message.
