Abstract:
1. A non-contact information processing device comprising: non-contact information processing means for recording, reproducing, or recording and reproducing information through electromagnetic induction without contacting a card medium; and a transfer path for transferring the card medium; wherein the non-contact information processing means has a device-side non-contact communication antenna that is configured to send information to and receive information from a medium-side non-contact communication antenna provided on the card medium; wherein the non-contact information processing device further includes a detection means, which detects if the device-side non-contact communication antenna is working normally, and which detects an electromagnetic wave generated from the device-side non-contact communication antenna; and wherein the detection means has a control section which is independent of a control circuit for controlling the device-side non-contact communication antenna.
