MOBILE TERMINAL AND INFORMATION READING PREVENTION METHOD

摘要

There is provided a mobile terminal capable of determining whether a near field communication source is a mobile terminal or not, and capable of appropriately restricting information reading in near field communication. The mobile terminal includes an antenna 110 for near field communication and RF part 120. The RF part 120 includes an electromotive force measuring part 121 which measures the electromotive force of a carrier wave received by the antenna, a communication permission/prohibition determining part 122 which, when the measured electromotive force is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, determines that the sender of the carrier wave is a mobile terminal and outputs a communication prohibition signal, and an RF controller 123 which acquires the communication prohibition signal and locks the RF part 120.
