<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a portable terminal and a communication control method thereof which blocks communications from being made in a user's undesired condition at a communication unit of a contactless IC chip etc. capable of automatically starting communication upon receipt of radio signals. <P>SOLUTION: With an IC chip key (e.g., side key 519) not pushed down, a contactless IC chip 109 is prohibited from communicating. This surely prevents the contactless IC chip 109 and a reader/writer 600 from automatically communication in a user's undesired condition. For example, this effectively prevents anybody from accessing data of the contactless IC chip 109, using a skimmer of an IC card, without being aware of the user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
