Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, a program, and an information processing system each capable of achieving flexible use of a storage region of a secure element. When a trigger is acquired by an external trigger device from the outside, an applet is installed or deleted into and from the secure element according to the type of the acquired trigger. The information processing device and the like of the present disclosure are applicable to an electronic apparatus including a secure element.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An information processing device, comprising:
circuitry configured to:
acquire a first trigger;
install an applet in a secure element based on the first trigger; and
register a specific trigger at a time of the installation of the applet in the secure element, wherein
the specific trigger is registered as a deletion trigger rule that is a deletion condition to delete the installed applet.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the first trigger contains position information, time information, elapsed-time information, and operation information.

3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to delete the installed applet based on the specific trigger registered as the deletion trigger rule.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the applet includes one of an electronic ticket, an administration ID, or a transportation electronic pass.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein,
the applet is the electronic ticket,
the specific trigger indicates a specific time and date,
the specific trigger corresponds to the deletion condition after the electronic ticket is used,
the acquired first trigger is time information indicating the specific time and date, and
the circuitry is further configured to:
recognize the acquired first trigger as the specific trigger registered as the deletion trigger rule; and
delete the installed applet as the electronic ticket.

6. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein,
the applet is the administration ID,
the specific trigger is an elapse of a specific time from the installation of the applet as the administration ID, and
the acquired first trigger is the elapse of the specific time from the installation of the applet as the administration ID,
the circuitry is further configured to:
recognize the acquired first trigger as the specific trigger registered as the deletion trigger rule; and
delete the installed applet as the administration ID.

7. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein,
the applet is the transportation electronic pass within a specific country,
the specific trigger is that a current position is not located within the specific country, and
the acquired first trigger indicates that the current position is not located within the specific country,
the circuitry is further configured to:
recognize the acquired first trigger as the specific trigger registered as the deletion trigger rule; and
delete the installed applet as the transportation electronic pass.

8. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein
the circuitry is further configured to:
manage a log of the installed applet; and
delete a part of the log together with the installed applet at a time of deletion of the installed applet.

9. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein
a type of information, associated with a not deleted part of the log other than the deleted part of the log, is registered in association with the applet as information included in the deletion trigger rule at the time of deletion of the installed applet.

10. The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein,
the circuitry is further configured to re-install the applet after the deletion of the installed applet, and
the re-installed applet uses the log.

11. The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein
the log contains a charge amount, a point, discount information, and information indicating a use history, and
each of the charge amount, the point, the discount information, and the information indicating the use history is generated by execution of the applet.

12. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
store an issue trigger rule as a second trigger; and
install the applet based on the acquired first trigger corresponds to second trigger stored as the issue trigger rule.

13. An information processing method performed by an information processing device, comprising:
acquiring a trigger;
installing an applet in a secure element based on the trigger; and
registering a specific trigger at a time of the installation of the applet in the secure element, wherein
the specific trigger is registered as a deletion trigger rule that is a deletion condition to delete the installed applet.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by an information processing device, cause the information processing device to execute operations, the operations comprising:
acquiring a trigger;
installing an applet in a secure element based the trigger; and
registering a specific trigger at a time of the installation of the applet in the secure element, wherein
the specific trigger is registered as a deletion trigger rule that is a deletion condition to delete the installed applet.

15. An information processing system, comprising:
first circuitry configured to acquire a trigger; and
second circuitry configured to:
install an applet in a secure element based on the trigger; and
register a specific trigger at a time of the installation of the applet in the secure element, wherein
the specific trigger is registered as a deletion trigger rule that is a deletion condition to delete the installed applet.

16. The information processing system according to claim 15 , wherein the information processing system comprises:
an information processing device comprising the first circuitry; and
a wearable device comprising the second circuitry, wherein the wearable device is configured to perform near field communication with the information processing device.

17. The information processing system according to claim 15 , wherein the information processing system comprises:
a wearable device comprising:
the first circuitry; and
the second circuitry.

18. The information processing system according to claim 17 , wherein the wearable device is one of a smartwatch or a wristband.
