Abstract

According to one embodiment, a near field wireless communication device includes a receiver and a controller. The receiver is configured to obtain data by receiving a wireless signal. The controller is configured to stop the receiving operation of the receiver in the case where the receiver receives an unwanted signal.

Claims

1. A short-ranged wireless communication device, the device comprising:

a receiver configured to receive data on a wireless signal; and

a controller configured to stop reception of the data by the receiver when a first signal is received by the receiver.

2. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein

the controller is configured to determine whether the first signal, which is an unwanted signal, is received based on power of the received signal.

3. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein

the controller is configured to determine whether the first signal, which is an unwanted signal, is received based on a result of decoding the received signal.

4. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein

the controller comprises a type detection module configured to detect a type of the data and is configured to stop the data reception of the receiver when the type detected by the type detection module is a predetermined type.

5. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

an operation detection module configured to detect a user operation; and

an erasing module configured to erase the received data when the operation detection module fails to detect the user operation after a predetermined time period.

6. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 5, wherein

the short-range wireless communication device comprises a movable mechanism configured to change a shape of an outlook;

and

the operation detection module is configured to detect the change of the shape of the outlook of the short-range wireless communication device as the user operation.

7. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

a sender detection module configured to detect a sender of the received data; and

an erasing module configured to erase the received data in accordance with the detected sender.

8. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

a type detection module configured to detect a type of the received data; and

an erasing module configured to erase the received data in accordance with the detected type.

9. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

a type detection module configured to detect a type of the received data; and

a history generation module configured to generate a communication history of the receiver comprising the detected type.

10. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

a storage module configured to store the received data; and

a notification module configured to notify a user that the received data are stored.

11. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 10, further comprising an input module,

wherein the notification module is configured to inquire the user whether the received data needs to be stored upon the data reception,

wherein the input module configured to receive an entry from the user, and

wherein the storage module is configured to store the received data in accordance with the entry from the user.

12. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

a wireless communication module configured to execute wireless communication with a base station in a mobile communication network, wherein

the controller is configured to stop the data reception of the receiver when the wireless communication is executed by the wireless communication module.

13. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

a motion detection module configured to detect a physical motion of the short-range wireless communication device, wherein

the controller is configured to stop the data reception of the receiver when the motion detection module fails to detect a predetermined motion.

14. The short-range wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

a position detection module configured to detect position information of the short-range wireless communication device, wherein

the controller is configured to stop the data reception of the receiver when the position detection module fails to detect a predetermined position.
