Abstract

The present technology relates to a non-contact communication device, a non-contact communication method, a program, and a non-contact communication system capable of achieving a simpler configuration to implement an active side function. A non-contact communication device includes a communication unit that receives a command from a first device using a carrier wave output from the first device and sends a command to a second device using the carrier wave output from the first device. The present technology can be used in a non-contact communication device or the like.

Claims (42)

1. A non-contact communication device, comprising:

a communication unit configured to:

receive a first command from a first device based on a carrier wave output from the first device; and

transmit a second command to a second device based on the carrier wave, wherein

the first command is different from the second command, and

a first value of a specific byte in packet data for the first command is different from a second value of the specific byte in the packet data for the second command, in a symmetrical communication method.

2. The non-contact communication device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first device transmits the first command based on modulation of the carrier wave, and

wherein the communication unit is further configured to:

return a first response to the first device based on load modulation of the carrier wave, wherein the first response corresponds to the first command;

transmit the second command to the second device based on the load modulation of the carrier wave; and

receive a second response corresponding to the second command based on the load modulation of the carrier wave.

3. The non-contact communication device according to claim 2 , wherein the first value of the specific byte in the packet data for the first command is different from a third value of the specific byte in the packet data for the first response.

4. The non-contact communication device according to claim 2 , wherein a sync code in the packet data for the first command is different from a sync code in the packet data for the second command.

5. The non-contact communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the communication unit is further configured to:

determine an execution state of a specific process of the non-contact communication device; and

return a response, which corresponds to the first command, to the first device based on the execution state of the specific process.

6. The non-contact communication device according to claim 1 , wherein, based on receipt of a request for a specific process from the first device, the communication unit is further configured to:

execute the specific process with the second device; and

return a response, which corresponds to the request, to the first device based on execution of the request.

7. The non-contact communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the communication unit is further configured to communicate with the first device and the second device in the symmetrical communication method.

8. A non-contact communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a non-contact communication device, a first command from a first device based on a carrier wave output from the first device; and

transmitting, by the non-contact communication device, a second command to a second device based on the carrier wave, wherein

the first command is different from the second command, and

a value of a specific byte in packet data for the first command is different from a value of the specific byte in the packet data for the second command, in a symmetrical communication method.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a first command from a first device based on a carrier wave output from the first device; and

transmitting a second command to a second device based on the carrier wave, wherein

the first command is different from the second command, and

a value of a specific byte in packet data for the first command is different from a value of the specific byte in the packet data for the second command, in a symmetrical communication method.

10. A non-contact communication system, comprising:

a reader/writer; and

a first non-contact communication device,

wherein the reader/writer is configured to:

output a carrier wave; and

transmit a first command to the first non-contact communication device based on the output of the carrier wave, and

wherein the first non-contact communication device is configured to:

receive the first command from the reader/writer based on the carrier wave; and

transmit a second command to a second non-contact communication device based on the carrier wave, wherein

the first command is different from the second command, and

a value of a specific byte in packet data for the first command is different from a value of the specific byte in the packet data for the second command, in a symmetrical communication method.
