Abstract

When there is access to a non-contact type IC, the access is controlled, and external access is notified. A control unit of a non-contact type IC detects access from an external apparatus in response to variation in a load of an antenna, and notifies the detection as access information to a signal judging unit. The signal judging unit refers to history information recorded in a storing unit on the basis of the notified access information, determines whether or not to permit the external apparatus the access, and then notifies a result of the determination to a CPU. On the basis of the notified result of the determination, the CPU controls a display unit, a speaker, a light generating unit, or a vibration generating unit to generate a predetermined stimulus in order to notify the external access. The present invention is applicable to transmission apparatus including a non-contact type IC.
