Abstract

A portable electronic device of an embodiment includes a plurality of secure elements and a communicator. The communicator performs communication with a reader/writer device to which an external device is connected using non-contact communication. The communicator changes a transmission destination to a secure element corresponding to a transmission destination identifier for identifying the transmission destination among the plurality of secure elements on the basis of the transmission destination identifier and change-instruction-information giving instructions to change the transmission destination, assigned to telegraph data received from the reader/writer device using the non-contact communication and transmits the telegraph data received from the reader/writer device to the secure element.

Claims (27)

1. A portable electronic device comprising:

a plurality of secure elements; and

a communicator that performs communication with a reader/writer device to which an external device is connected using non-contact communication,

the communicator that changes a transmission destination to a secure element corresponding to a transmission destination identifier for identifying the transmission destination among the plurality of secure elements on the basis of the transmission destination identifier and of a change-instruction-information giving instructions to change the transmission destination, wherein the transmission destination identifier and the change-instruction-information are assigned to telegraph data received from the reader/writer device using the non-contact communication, and

the communicator that transmits the telegraph data received from the reader/writer device to the secure element.

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

the telegraph data is assigned with node address information including the transmission destination identifier, a transmission source identifier for identifying a transmission source, and the change-instruction-information, and

the communicator changes the transmission destination to a secure element corresponding to the transmission destination identifier when the change-instruction-information included in the node address information indicates an instruction to change the transmission destination.

3. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a secure element information storage that stores an identifier corresponding to the secure element included in a host device as secure element list information,

wherein the communicator transmits the secure element list information stored in the secure element information storage to the reader/writer device, receives the telegraph data assigned with the identifier included in the secure element list information as the transmission destination identifier from the reader/writer device, and changes the transmission destination to the secure element corresponding to the transmission destination identifier assigned to the telegraph data.

4. A non-contact communication system comprising:

a plurality of secure elements;

a plurality of external devices; and

a communicator that performs communication with a reader/writer device to which the external device is connected using non-contact communication, wherein the communicator changes a transmission destination to a secure element corresponding to a transmission destination identifier for identifying the transmission destination among the plurality of secure elements on the basis of the transmission destination identifier and of a change-instruction-information giving instructions to change the transmission destination, wherein the transmission destination identifier and the change-instruction-information are assigned to telegraph data received from the reader/writer device using the non-contact communication, and wherein the communicator that transmits the telegraph data received from the reader/writer device to the secure element.

5. The non-contact communication system according to claim 4 , further comprising:

an external device information storage that stores an identifier corresponding to the external device which can be connected to the reader/writer device as external device list information,

wherein the reader/writer device transmits the external device list information stored in the external device information storage to the communicator,

wherein the reader/writer device receives the telegraph data assigned with the identifier included in the external device list information as the transmission destination identifier from the communicator, and

wherein the reader/writer device changes the transmission destination to an external device corresponding to the transmission destination identifier assigned to the telegraph data.

6. The non-contact communication system according to claim 4 , wherein

the telegraph data is assigned with node address information including the transmission destination identifier, a transmission source identifier for identifying a transmission source, first change-instruction-information giving instructions to change the transmission destination secure element, and second change-instruction-information giving instructions to change the transmission destination external device,

the communicator changes the transmission destination to the secure element corresponding to the transmission destination identifier when the first change-instruction-information included in the node address information indicates an instruction to change the transmission destination, and

the reader/writer device changes the transmission destination to the external device corresponding to the transmission destination identifier when the second change-instruction-information included in the node address information indicates an instruction to change the transmission destination.

7. A non-contact communication method between a reader/writer device to which an external device is connected and a portable electronic device including a plurality of secure elements, the method comprising:

allowing a communicator to change a transmission destination to a secure element corresponding to a transmission destination identifier for identifying a transmission destination among the plurality of secure elements on the basis of the transmission destination identifier and change-instruction-information giving instructions to change the transmission destination, assigned to telegraph data received from the reader/writer device using non-contact communication; and

allowing the communicator to transmit the telegraph data received from the reader/writer device to the secure element changed.
