Technique for reading data from a recording medium without contact and processing the read data
First Claim
1. A device-readable recording medium for storing data and being read by a sensor in a non-contact manner, said recording medium comprising:
- means for storing a data declaration section for specifying input data and content data;
means for storing a determination function section which causes a process to be executed in response to a user event; and
means for storing a communication protocol specification section.

Abstract
A technique for retrieving and processing data retrieved from a non-contact recording medium without physically contacting the non-contact recording medium. The non-contact medium contains coded data including a data declaration, a graphical user interface, a determining function, and specification of a communication protocol. A portable terminal reads the data from the non-contact medium, decodes the data into a structured language code file including a data declaration function, a determining function, and a communication protocol specifying function, and stores the code file. A user may select a stored code file, which executes on the portable terminal and performs display control. The portable terminal then communicates data from the selected code file to an external device by using a specified communication protocol from the selected code file.

16. A method for controlling a portable terminal operably connected with a network to forward data read from a remote device without contact therewith to an external device, said portable terminal including a data acquiring section, a processing section, and an external-communication processing section, said method comprising the steps of:
-
reading data from a recording medium located externally to the portable terminal without contact therewith;
decoding the read data;
creating code files in a structured language from the decoded data; and
storing said code files;
reading a specified one of said stored code files in response to a user event;
executing said specified code file; and
driving said external-communication processing section to communicate with an external device in accordance with a communication protocol specified by said executed code file. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
