Patent ID: 7184706

Claim:
A mobile terminal apparatus, comprising: internal control means for controlling execution of prescribed applications; and non-contact communication means equipped with a first communication state for carrying out non-contact communication with an external communication apparatus over short distances and a second communication state for carrying out communication with said internal control means, for carrying out communication with said external communication apparatus or said internal control means by changing communication state between said first communication state and said second communication state; said non-contact communication means having (a) receiving means for receiving at least interrupt information and execution application information indicating the application to be executed transmitted from said external communication apparatus using said non-contact communication in said first communication state, (b) notification means for giving a notification to said internal control means when said interrupt information is received by said receiving means, and (c) communication state changing means for changing said first communication state into said second communication state when said interrupt information is received by said receiving means, wherein said internal control means carries out communication with said non-contact communication means in the second communication state which is changed by said communication state changing means, takes in said execution application information received by said receiving means, and controls so as to execute applications corresponding to said taken-in execution application information received by said receiving means when said notification is given by said notification means of said non-contact communication means, and wherein said non-contact communication means receives a communication termination information transmitted from said external communication apparatus by said receiving means when said internal control means completes said take-in of said execution application information in said second communication state, and said communication state changing means changes said second communication state into said first communication at receiving said communication termination information.
