Abstract:
1. An IC card which makes a non-contact communication with an external apparatus, comprising: a reception module configured to receive a first command transmitted from the external apparatus; a determination module configured to determine whether or not the first command is a switching request command which requests to switch the IC card from a passive mode to an active mode; a command generation module configured to generate a second command which controls an other IC card to execute processing when the first command is the switching request command; and a command transmission module configured to transmit the second command to the other IC card, wherein the command generation module generates an initial setting command required to establish a communication path with the other IC card when the first command is the switching request command, and the command generation module generates a second command which controls the other IC card to execute processing when the communication path is established with the other IC card.
