There is provided an information processing device including a selection unit configured to, on the basis of first identification information included in a processing instruction and corresponding to a service, and first association information in which the first identification information is associated with second identification information for identifying an application, select an application to perform the service corresponding to the processing instruction, and an execution unit configured to cause the selected application to perform a process in accordance with the processing instruction.

A portable apparatus and a screen change method of the portable apparatus are provided. More particularly, provided are a portable apparatus and a screen change method of the portable apparatus which display a mobile payment screen corresponding to a continuous movement of a touch connecting a button and a touch screen, which are positioned on a front side of the portable apparatus. According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, provided are a portable apparatus and a screen change method of the portable apparatus that change a first screen, which is displayed corresponding to a first input detected through a button and a continuous movement of a first touch detected on a touch screen, to a mobile payment screen.

An emulated card selection method is implemented on a mobile device having a near field communication (NFC) NFC function. A first emulated card and a second emulated card are configured on the mobile device. When detecting an NFC radio frequency field, the mobile device detects whether there is fingerprint input. The mobile device selects the first emulated card if there is the fingerprint input. The mobile device selects the second emulated card if there is no fingerprint input. The mobile device performs NFC interaction with the NFC card reader based on the selected first emulated card or second emulated card. The mobile device can automatically select an emulated card in different emulated cards based on a card swiping status when a user uses an NFC emulated card.

A position alignment system facilitates positioning of a contactless card in a sweet spot in a target volume relative to a contactless card reading device. Alignment logic uses information captured from available imaging devices such as infrared proximity detectors, cameras, infrared sensors, dot projectors, and the like to guide the card to a target location. The captured image information is processed to identify a card position, trajectory and predicted location using one or both of a machine learning model and/or a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping logic. Trajectory adjustment and prompt identification may be intelligently controlled and customized using machine-learning techniques to customize guidance based on the preference and/or historical behavior of the user. As a result, the speed and accuracy of contactless card alignment is improved and received NFC signal strength is maximized, thereby reducing the occurrence of dropped transactions.

A display apparatus and a controlling method capable of enabling Near Field Communication (NFC) between the display apparatus and an external electronic device by embedding an NFC antenna inside the display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes a liquid crystal panel comprising a plurality of pixels; a backlight unit disposed behind the liquid crystal panel and configured to supply light to the liquid crystal panel; a liquid crystal panel driver configured to apply a voltage to the liquid crystal panel; a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna disposed behind the backlight unit; and a controller configured to, based on an NFC mode being selected, control the liquid crystal panel driver such that at least one pixel in a region corresponding to a position of the NFC antenna among the plurality of pixels displays a white object.

Personal controlled-environment facility resident communication and/or data devices deployed within a controlled-environment facility each have a device identification apparatus (e.g. RFID tag). Interrogators and/or readers disposed within zone(s) defined within the controlled-environment facility identify, recognize, or otherwise read the device identification apparatus(es). A controlled-environment facility management system and/or a controlled-environment facility communications processing system coupled to the interrogators and/or readers determine whether a particular personal device entering, attempting to operate in, leaving, or outside a particular zone is authorized to operate in that zone and/or is authorized to operate one or more particular apps in that zone, based upon the device identification apparatus identified, recognized, or otherwise read by the interrogator and/or reader within that zone. Commands are sent to an identified personal device and/or to an app operating on the device, based on whether the particular device and/or app is authorized to operate in or outside that zone.

A first client device or system performs a method that includes retaining in memory registration information for a respective application indicating the respective application is registered for sharing application state with other client devices or systems. The method further includes storing an application state of a respective application, and detecting a transfer triggering condition. The transfer triggering condition includes presence of a second client device or system within a predefined proximity of the first client device or system, and the predefined proximity is a predefined proximity for near field communication. Furthermore, upon detecting the triggering condition, the first client device or system determines, in accordance with the stored registration information, that the respective application is registered for application state sharing, and transmits the application state of the respective application to the second client device or system.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for managing baggage and a method for managing baggage with which improved usability can be obtained. In order to solve the problem, an apparatus for managing baggage is provided with: a reader unit which reads tag information of a wireless tag attached to a baggage; a storage unit in which the tag information read by the reader unit is stored; and a control unit which makes a determination of a forgotten baggage by comparing the tag information stored in the storage unit with tag information newly read by the reader unit.

To ensure the quality of NFC communication between a contactless card and a smartphone, a positioning pattern, for example a portion of the card visual, is displayed on the screen of the smartphone. This is a visual aid to help the user to position the contactless card, in proximity to the smartphone, toward a position where a card indicator for which provision is made on the card, typically the portion complementary to the card visual, is aligned with the displayed pattern. The positioning is made easy as the positioning pattern and the card indicator are preferably chosen to be visually complementary. Also, the contactless card is in the appropriate position when the card indicator visually complements the positioning pattern. The positioning pattern is thus displayed at a location of the screen allowing the best NFC coupling between the card and the smartphone.
