Abstract

An information storage medium according to this embodiment includes a first communication unit configured to communicate with an information storage medium processing apparatus in a contact state, a second communication unit configured to communicate with the information storage medium processing apparatus in a non-contact state, a storage unit configured to store information, and an execution unit configured to execute predetermined processing based on the information stored in the storage unit using information processing results of both the first communication unit and the second communication unit. The execution unit executes the predetermined processing under a condition that both the first communication unit and the second communication unit have succeeded in authentication processing for the predetermined processing.

Claims

1. An information storage medium comprising:

a first communication unit configured to communicate with an information storage medium processing apparatus in a contact state;

a second communication unit configured to communicate with the information storage medium processing apparatus in a non-contact state;

a storage unit configured to store information; and

an execution unit configured to execute predetermined processing based on the information stored in the storage unit using information processing results of both the first communication unit and the second communication unit,

wherein the execution unit executes the predetermined processing under a condition that both the first communication unit and the second communication unit have succeeded in authentication processing for the predetermined processing.

2. A medium according to claim 1, wherein the execution unit is activated by a communication with one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit to execute authentication processing for the predetermined processing, stores an authentication processing result in the storage unit, and is deactivated, and the execution unit is activated by a communication with the other of the first communication unit and the second communication unit to execute authentication processing for the predetermined processing, and stores an authentication processing result in the storage unit, and the execution unit executes the predetermined processing under a condition that the two authentication processing results stored in the storage unit indicate successful authentication.

3. A medium according to claim 2, wherein the execution unit determines as an error authentication processing by the first communication unit and the second communication unit that does not correspond to a prescribed authentication processing order of the first communication unit and the second communication unit, and does not permit execution of the predetermined processing.

4. A medium according to claim 3, wherein when the execution unit stores the authentication processing result in the storage unit via the communication with one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit, and the same communication unit executes a communication again, the execution unit deletes the authentication processing result stored in the storage unit.

5. A medium according to claim 1, wherein the execution unit is activated by a communication with at least one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit, executes authentication processing for the predetermined processing using both the first communication unit and the second communication unit by switching the first communication unit and the second communication unit, stores authentication processing results in the storage unit, and executes the predetermined processing under a condition that the two authentication processing results stored in the storage unit indicate successful authentication.

6. A medium according to claim 1, wherein the storage unit stores a secret key, and

the execution unit updates the secret key in response to an update request of the secret key under a condition that the authentication processes of both the first communication unit and the second communication unit have succeeded.

7. An information storage medium processing apparatus comprising:

a first communication unit configured to communicate with an information storage medium in a contact state;

a second communication unit configured to communicate with the information storage medium in a non-contact state; and

a request unit configured to request the information storage medium to execute predetermined processing via information processing by both the first communication unit and the second communication unit,

wherein the request unit executes authentication processing for the predetermined processing by both the first communication unit and the second communication unit and requests the predetermined processing.

8. An apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the request unit activates the information storage medium by a communication with one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit to execute authentication processing for the predetermined processing, activates the information storage medium by a communication with the other of the first communication unit and the second communication unit to execute authentication processing for the predetermined processing, and requests the predetermined processing.

9. An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the request unit executes the authentication processing based on a prescribed authentication processing order of the first communication unit and the second communication unit.

10. An apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the request unit activates the information storage medium by a communication with at least one of the first communication unit and the second communication unit, executes authentication processing for the predetermined processing using both the first communication unit and the second communication unit by switching the first communication unit and the second communication unit, and requests the predetermined processing.
