Abstract
An electronic value transferring device such as a high speed and large capacity computer or mobile terminal device is disclosed that can function as a contactless IC card performing electronic value operations. The device is connectable to an IC card that performs electronic value operations, and includes a microprocessor for transmitting and receiving data to and from the IC card: an interface circuit for providing an IC card interface to allow the IC card to send and receive electronic values to and from other IC cards by radio; an antenna; and the microprocessor having a memory for temporarily storing plural electronic values.
