Abstract

According to one embodiment, an IC card includes an antenna, a charge unit, a memory, and a first processor. The charge unit is configured to be charged by a current induced electromagnetically in the antenna. The memory is configured to store processing execution information for discontinuously executing a plurality of processing. The first processor is configured to operate by a current from the charge unit, and discontinuously execute a plurality of processing by providing an interval based on the processing execution information.

Claims (25)

1. A portable electronic device comprising:

an antenna;

a charge unit configured to be charged by a current induced electromagnetically in the antenna;

a memory configured to store processing execution information for discontinuously executing a plurality of processing; and

a first processor configured to operate by a current from the charge unit, sense a residual capacity, a voltage, or a current of the charge unit, and discontinuously execute a plurality of processing by providing an interval based on the processing execution information,

wherein the processing execution information includes at least one of: a threshold, command information to be a target of discontinuous processing, progress information indicating progress of each processing; and the processing execution information includes a time interval of a plurality of processing determined by the residual capacity of the charge unit and a current value or a voltage value obtained by a non-contact power supply, and

the threshold relates to the residual capacity, the voltage, or the current of the charge unit.

2. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to discontinuously execute a plurality of processing in accordance with a plurality of commands.

3. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to divide one processing into a plurality of processing sets, and discontinuously execute the plurality of divided processing sets.

4. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , comprising a second processor configured to operate by a current from the charge unit, wherein

the first processor is configured to discontinuously execute a plurality of processing in accordance with a command from the second processor.

5. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of processing includes first processing and second processing, and

the first processor is configured to execute the second processing after executing the first processing based on a timing at which a residual capacity of the charge unit exceeds the threshold.

6. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to record progress information indicating progress of a plurality of processing in the memory.

7. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first processor is configured to discontinuously execute a plurality of image processing.

8. The portable electronic device according to claim 7 , comprising a fingerprint sensor, wherein

the first processor is configured to discontinuously execute a plurality of image processing based on an image from the fingerprint sensor.

9. An IC card comprising:

an antenna;

a charge unit configured to be charged by a current induced electromagnetically in the antenna;

a memory configured to store processing execution information for discontinuously executing a plurality of processing; and

a first processor configured to operate by a current from the charge unit, sense a residual capacity, a voltage, or a current of the charge unit, and discontinuously execute a plurality of processing by providing an interval based on the processing execution information,

wherein the processing execution information includes at least one of: a threshold, command information to be a target of discontinuous processing, progress information indicating progress of each processing; and the processing execution information includes a time interval of a plurality of processing determined by the residual capacity of the charge unit and a current value or a voltage value obtained by a non-contact power supply, and

the threshold relates to the residual capacity, the voltage, or the current of the charge unit.
