1. An IC module for being used with a portable device, the IC module comprising:
- a first memory capable of storing an application program that executes a process relating to a service provided by a service terminal via contactless communication with the service terminal, the service terminal being located at a certain place;
a second memory capable of storing a state data related to the service; and
a judgment unit, separately from the application program that executes the process relating to the service, that monitors a change in a state data stored in the memory, the change having been made by the process with a user'"'"'s check eliminated, and judges whether the change satisfies a condition set as requiring an attraction of a user'"'"'s attention; and
a control unit, separately from the application program that executes the process relating to the service, that instructs, responsive to a judgment that the condition is satisfied by the judgment unit, a user interface of the portable device to notify a user of the change.

Abstract
An IC module (secure element with an IC card function) mounted on a portable device executes a process relating to a service, via contactless communication with a service terminal located at a certain place. At least one of the IC module and the portable device judges whether a change, made in state data related to the service and made by the process with a user'"'"'s check eliminated, satisfies a condition set as requiring an attraction of a user'"'"'s attention. According to the result of the judgment, a user interface function of the portable device notifies a user.

8. A portable device comprising a user interface function and IC module, the IC module comprising:
-
a first memory capable of storing an application program that executes a process relating to a service provided by a service terminal via contactiess communication with the service terminal, the service terminal being located at a certain place; a second memory capable of storing a state data related to the service; and a judgment unit, separately from the application program that executes the process relating to the service, that monitors a change in a state data stored in the memory, the change having been made by the process with a user'"'"'s check eliminated, and judges whether the change satisfies a condition set as requiring an attraction of a user'"'"'s attention; and a control unit, separately from the application program that executes the process relating to the service, that instructs, responsive to a judgment that the condition is satisfied by the judgment unit, a user'"'"'s interface of the portable device to notify a user of the change. - View Dependent Claims (9)
