Abstract

A key information issuing device issuing key information to a key information retaining device includes an authentication module authenticating an issuer of the key information, an output module outputting the key information to the key information retaining unit, and a recording module recording a mapping of the issued key information to the key information retaining unit. The key information is issued in response to an indication of the authenticated issuer.

Claims

1. A wireless apparatus, comprising:

a button;

a wireless communication interface;

a processing unit outputting a key information to another wireless apparatus using the wireless communication interface responsive to detection of user'"'"'s operation for the button; and

a memory storing the output key information with the output key information related to the another wireless apparatus.

2. The wireless apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the wireless communication interface comprises a near communication module incapable of performing communications beyond a predetermined distance, the near communication module forming a communication path for outputting the key information within the predetermined distance.

3. The wireless apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the wireless communication interface receives wireless signals from the another wireless apparatus and

the processing unit decodes the information contained in the wireless signals and encrypted with the key information.

10. The wireless apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the wireless communication interface transmits the key information with low transmission output.

11. The wireless apparatus according to claim 1, further comprises a wire communication interface.

4. A key information managing method of managing key information, comprising:

detecting user'"'"'s operation for a button of a wireless apparatus;

generating key information responsive to the detecting;

outputting the key information to an another wireless apparatus using a wireless communication interface of the wireless apparatus; and

storing the output key information with the output key information related to the another wireless apparatus.

5. The key information managing method according to claim 4, wherein

the wireless communication interface comprises a near communication module incapable of performing communications beyond a predetermined distance, and

the outputting outputs the generated key information through the near communication module.

6. The key information managing method according to claim 4, further comprising:

receiving wireless signals from the another wireless apparatus; and

decoding the information contained in the wireless signals and encrypted with the key information.

12. The key information managing method according to claim 4, wherein the outputting outputs the key information with low transmission output.

7. A readable-by-computer recording medium recorded with a program executed by a computer to manage key information, comprising:

detecting user'"'"'s operation for a button of a wireless apparatus;

generating key information responsive to the detecting;

outputting the key information to another wireless apparatus using a wireless communication interface of the wireless apparatus; and

storing the output key information with the output key information related to the another wireless apparatus.

8. The readable-by-computer recording medium recorded with a program according to claim 7, wherein

the wireless communication interface comprises a near communication module incapable of performing communications beyond a predetermined distance, and

the outputting outputs the generated key information through the near communication module.

9. The readable-by-computer recording medium recorded with a program according to claim 7, further comprising:

receiving wireless signals from the another wireless apparatus; and

decoding the information contained in the wireless signals and encrypted with the key information.

13. The readable-by-computer recording medium recorded with a program according to claim 7, wherein the outputting outputs the key information with low transmission output.
