Abstract

A processing apparatus of portable electronic devices, a portable electronic device, and a processing system of portable electronic devices are provided, each of which can process data at high speed. The processing apparatus has a transmitting/receiving unit configured to transmit and receive data to and from the portable electronic device. In the processing, the transmitting/receiving unit generates a first command and adds a second command to the first command.

Claims

1. A processing apparatus of portable electronic devices, comprising:

a transmitting/receiving unit configured to transmit and receive data to and from a portable electronic device;

a first command processing unit configured to cause the transmitting/receiving unit to transmit a first command to the portable electronic device; and

a second command processing unit configured to add a second command to the first command the first command processing unit is to transmit to the portable electronic device.

2. The processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first command processing unit causes the transmitting/receiving unit to transmit a setting command to the portable electronic device, and the second command processing unit adds at least a part of a mutual authentication command to the setting command.

3. The processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the mutual authentication command comprises a first authentication command and a second authentication command, the setting command comprises an activation command and a medium-select command, and the second command processing unit adds the first authentication command in the medium-select command.

4. The processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the second command processing unit generates the first authentication command by using, as authentication data, card ID data contained in a response the portable electronic device transmits on receiving the activation command.

5. The processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the mutual authentication command comprises a first authentication command and a second authentication command, the setting command comprises an activation command and a medium-select command, and the second command processing unit adds the first authentication command to the activation command and adds the second authentication command in the medium-select command.

6. The processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first command processing unit causes the transmitting/receiving unit to transmit a setting command to the portable electronic device, the second command processing unit adds a medium-data acquisition command to the setting command, and a process-performing unit is further provided, which is configured to acquire the medium data transmitted from the portable electronic device in response to the setting command and which performs a process in response to the medium data.

7. The processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the setting command comprises an activation command and a medium-select command;

the second command processing unit adds, to the medium-select command, a medium-data acquisition command containing file designation data for designating a file that stores medium data of the portable electronic device; and

the process-performing unit acquires the medium data from a response to the medium-select command.

8. The processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the setting command comprises an activation command and a medium-select command;

the second command processing unit adds, to the activation command, a medium-data acquisition command containing file designation data for designating a file that stores medium data of the portable electronic device; and

the process-performing unit acquires the medium data from a response to the activation command.

9. The processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the setting command comprises an activation command and a medium-select command, and the process-performing unit acquires the medium data to be added to the response to the activation command.

10. A portable electronic device comprising:

a transmitting/receiving unit configured to transmit and receive data to and from a processing apparatus of portable electronic devices;

a first response processing unit configured to perform a first process in accordance with a first command received at the transmitting/receiving unit, thereby generating a first response based on a result of the first process, and to transmit the first response to the processing apparatus; and

a second response processing unit configured to perform a second process in accordance with a second command added to the first command, to generate a second response from the result of the second process and to add the second response to the first response.

11. The portable electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the second response processing unit performs authentication in accordance with a mutual authentication command when the first command stores at least a part of the mutual authentication command, generates a second response from the result of the authentication, and adds the second response to the first response.

12. The portable electronic device according to claim 11, further comprising a memory configured to store card ID data,

wherein the second response processing unit detects an error the processing apparatus has made in recognizing the device in accordance with whether the card ID data stored in the memory is identical to the card ID data stored in the mutual authentication command, when the card ID data is stored in the mutual authentication command stored in the first command received from the processing apparatus.

13. The portable electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the first command comprises an activation command and a medium-select command;

and the second response processing unit reads medium data from a file designated by a medium-data acquisition command stored in the medium-select command, generates a second response from the medium data thus read, and adds the second response to the first response to the medium-select command.

14. The portable electronic device according to claim 10, wherein the first command comprises an activation command and a medium-select command;

and the second response processing unit reads medium data from a file designated by a medium-data acquisition command stored in the activation command, generates a second response from the medium data thus read, and adds the second response to the first response to the activation command.

15. A processing system having a portable electronic device and a processing apparatus of the portable electronic devices,

the processing apparatus comprising:

a first transmitting/receiving unit configured to transmit and receive data to and from a portable electronic device;

a first command processing unit configured to cause the transmitting/receiving unit to transmit a first command to the portable electronic device; and

a second command processing unit configured to add a second command to the first command the first command processing unit is to transmit to the portable electronic device, and

the portable electronic device comprising;

a transmitting/receiving unit configured to transmit and receive data to and from the processing apparatus;

a first response processing unit configured to perform a first process in accordance with a first command received at the transmitting/receiving unit, thereby generating a first response based on a result of the first process, and to transmit the first response to the portable electronic; and

a second response processing unit configured to perform a second process in accordance with a second command added to the first command, to generate a second response from the result of the second process and to add the second response to the first response.
