1. An apparatus for integrating a mobile phone with a contactless IC card, comprising:

  • a contactless IC card, including;

    a control unit for controlling each electronic device installed in said contactless IC card;

    a radio frequency (RF) coupled with said control unit for converting information transmitted from said control unit into radio frequency (RF) information or converting RF information into data information and then sending said information to said control unit;

    a memory device coupled to said radio frequency (RF) interface for saving a unique identity code;

    a random access memory (RAM), coupled with said control unit for storing information required for a normal operation of said contactless IC card;

    a rectify/regulate circuit, capable of using said received radio wave to produce a voltage for a normal operation of said each electronic device installed in said contactless IC card; and

    a mobile phone, includinga central processing unit (CPU) for controlling said each electronic device installed in said mobile phone;

    a memory unit, coupled to said CPU for storing information required for a normal operation of said mobile phone; and

    at least one man-machine interface, coupled to said CPU for a user to input information or output information for a user to read;

    wherein when-said contactless IC card-and-said mobile phone are connected, said control unit and said memory device of said contactless IC card are coupled with said CPU of said mobile phone separately, and said CPU carries out a high-speed data transmission through said RF interface of said contactless IC card, and said control unit of said contactless IC card is coupled with said memory unit of said mobile phone, such that said memory unit of said contactless IC card is configured for reading various information preinstalled in said mobile phone.
