Abstract

An information processing device includes: a communication module that performs wireless communication with another device using unique information included in an electronic card; an acquiring unit that acquires the unique information included in the electronic card; a registering unit that registers the unique information acquired by the acquiring unit in a first memory unit and a second memory unit that is provided in the communication module; a deciding unit that decides whether or not the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card, respectively; and an activation controlling unit that allows activation of the information processing device when the deciding unit decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card.

Claims (25)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a communication module that performs wireless communication with another device using unique information included in an electronic card;

an acquiring unit that acquires the unique information included in the electronic card;

a registering unit that registers the unique information acquired by the acquiring unit in a first memory unit and a second memory unit that is provided in the communication module;

a deciding unit that decides whether or not the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card, respectively; and

an activation controlling unit that allows activation of the information processing device when the deciding unit decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card, respectively.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the acquiring unit further acquires a security code set to the electronic card;

the registering unit further registers the security code acquired by the acquiring unit, in the first memory unit;

the deciding unit further decides whether or not the security code set to the electronic card matches the security code registered in the first memory unit when deciding that the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit, and decides whether or not the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information included in the electronic card when deciding that the security code set to the electronic card matches the security code registered in the first memory unit; and

the activation controlling unit allows activation of the information processing device when the deciding unit decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card, respectively.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the activation controlling unit disallows activation of the information processing device when the deciding unit decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit does not match the unique information registered in the second memory unit or decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit does not match the unique information included in the electronic card.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the activation controlling unit erases data in the information processing device when the deciding unit decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit does not match the unique information registered in the second memory unit or decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit does not match the unique information included in the electronic card.

5. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the activation controlling unit disallows activation of the information processing device when the deciding unit decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit does not match the unique information registered in the second memory unit, decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit does not match the unique information included in the electronic card or decides that the security code set to the electronic card does not match the security code registered in the first memory unit.

6. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the activation controlling unit erases data in the information processing device when the deciding unit decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit does not match the unique information registered in the second memory unit or decides that the unique information registered in the first memory unit does not match the unique information included in the electronic card.

7. An information processing device controlling method of an information processing device that comprises a communication module that performs wireless communication with another device using unique information included in an electronic card, the information processing device controlling method comprising:

acquiring the unique information included in the electronic card;

registering the acquired unique information in advance in a first memory unit and a second memory unit that is provided to the communication module;

deciding whether or not the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card, respectively when power is activated; and

allowing activation of the information processing device when deciding that the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card, respectively.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein an information processing device controlling program for causing a computer that comprises a communication module that performs wireless communication with another device using unique information included in an electronic card to execute a process comprising:

acquiring the unique information included in the electronic card;

registering the acquired unique information in advance in a first memory unit and a second memory unit that is provided to the communication module;

deciding whether or not the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card, respectively when power is activated; and

allowing activation of the information processing device when deciding that the unique information registered in the first memory unit matches the unique information registered in the second memory unit and the unique information included in the electronic card, respectively.
