Setting or changing an access condition for an access management apparatus and method of a portable electronic device
First Claim
1. An access management method of receiving a same command message having both setting and changing functions, performing corresponding processing, and transmitting the result to an external apparatus, comprising:
- checking the presence/absence of a data element to be accessed when receiving the same command message having both said setting and changing functions; and
determining whether access is to be permitted by looking up a setting access condition if the data element is not set and looking up a changing access condition if the data element is set.

Abstract
An access management apparatus receives a command message having setting and changing functions, performs corresponding processing, and transmits results. A checking unit checks the presence/absence of a data element to be accessed. Access is permitted based on looking up a setting access condition if the data element is not set and looking up a changing access condition if the data element is set. A control table contains identification information, location information, a data setting access condition, and a data changing access condition of each of a plurality of data elements. When receiving a command, a determining unit determines whether the designated data element is already set by looking up location information of the data element in the control table. A data setting/changing unit sets or changes data in accordance with the access condition looked up.

11. A portable electronic device for receiving a same command having a plurality of functions from an external apparatus, and performing corresponding processing, comprising:
-
a memory storing a control table containing identification information, location information, a data setting access condition, and a data changing access condition of each of a plurality of data elements;
determining means for determining, when receiving a command including identification information of a data element from an external apparatus, whether the designated data element is already set by looking up location information of the data element in the control table;
first look-up means for looking up a data setting access condition in the control table if said determining means determines that the data element is not set;
second look-up means for looking up a data changing access condition in the control table if said determining means determines that the data element is already set; and
means for setting or changing data in accordance with the access condition looked up by said first or second look-up means.

12. A portable electronic device for receiving a same command having a plurality of functions from an external apparatus, and performing corresponding processing, comprising:
-
a memory storing a control table containing identification information, location information, allowable length information, and discrimination information, which discriminates whether the allowable length information is fixed length information or a maximum length, of each of a plurality of data elements;
size determining means for, when receiving a command including identification information and setting data of a data element from an external apparatus, looking up allowable length information of the data element and discrimination information for discriminating whether the allowable length information is fixed length information or a maximum length, and determining whether a length of the received data element equals the fixed length information if the allowable length information is the fixed length information or determining whether the length of the received data element is not more than the maximum length if the allowable length information is the maximum length; and
means for setting the data if said size determining means determines that a size of the received data is a suitable size.
