Abstract

An information processing device includes: a setting means for setting a standby time independently from another information processing device as an authentication target in a case where an authentication request is made from an authentication request-side device; and a transmission means for waiting for the standby time set by the setting means and transmitting unique identification information to the authentication request-side device.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a setting means for setting a standby time independently from another information processing device as an authentication target in a case where an authentication request is made from an authentication request-side device; and

a transmission means for waiting for the standby time set by the setting means and transmitting unique identification information to the authentication request-side device.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the setting means generates a random number in a case where the authentication request is made and sets the standby time in correspondence with the random number.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the authentication request is an identification signal that is set by the authentication request-side device in advance.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the transmission means stops the transmitting of the unique identification information when recognizing transmission from another information processing device as the authentication target.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a power reception means for receiving power transmitted from a power transmission device,

wherein the authentication request-side device is configured by the power transmission device that transmits the power by using a magnetic resonance-type power transmission technique.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5, wherein the power transmission device starts the transmitting of the power before the authentication request.

7. An information processing method comprising the step of:

setting a standby time independently from another information processing device as an authentication target in a case where an authentication request is made from an authentication request-side device, waiting for the set standby time, and transmitting unique identification information to the authentication request-side device by using the information processing device that becomes an authentication target of the authentication request-side device.

8. An information processing system comprising:

an authentication request-side device; and

one or more information processing devices that become authentication targets,

wherein the authentication request-side device makes an authentication request for each of the one or more information processing devices,

wherein each of the one or more information processing devices sets a standby time independently from the other information processing devices as authentication targets, waits for the set standby time, and transmits unique identification information to the authentication request-side device in a case where the authentication request is made, and

wherein the authentication request-side device performs authentication of each of the one or more information processing devices by receiving the unique identification information transmitted from each of the one or more information processing devices.

9. An information processing device comprising:

a transmission means for transmitting identification information that is the same as that of another information processing device as an authentication target to an authentication request-side device in a case where an authentication request is made from the authentication request-side device.

10. An information processing method comprising the step of:

transmitting identification information that is the same as that of another information processing device as an authentication target to an authentication request-side device by using an information processing device that becomes an authentication target of the authentication request-side device in a case where an authentication request is made from the authentication request-side device.

11. An information processing system comprising:

an authentication request-side device; and

one or more information processing devices that become authentication targets,

wherein the authentication request-side device makes an authentication request for each of the one or more information processing devices,

wherein each of the one or more information processing devices transmits identification information that is the same as those of the other information processing devices as authentication targets to the authentication request-side device in a case where the authentication request is made, and

wherein the authentication request-side device performs authentication by receiving the identification information transmitted from at least one of the one or more information processing devices.

12. An information processing device comprising:

a setting unit configured to set a standby time independently from another information processing device as an authentication target in a case where an authentication request is made from an authentication request-side device; and

a transmission unit configured to wait for the standby time set by the setting unit and transmit unique identification information to the authentication request-side device.
