  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a security system.

  In this security system, in order to prevent the target device 11 from being stolen, the owner 901 of the target device 11 has a wireless key 12 in the form of a card, and a predetermined identification between the wireless key 12 and the target device 11 is established. A presence confirmation request including a code is transmitted (S901), and when the target device 11 receives the presence confirmation request (S901), a presence confirmation response including a predetermined identification code is transmitted to the wireless key 12 (S902). By doing so, when the identification code can be confirmed in both directions, the function restriction of the target device 11 is canceled and the device can be used (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, a device that performs wireless communication (for example, the target device 11 or the wireless key 12) may cause a malfunction of another electronic device (for example, an electronic medical device such as a cardiac pacemaker) that exists in the vicinity. There is a need to restrict use and prohibit use in certain places such as trains and medical facilities.

  As a method of suppressing wireless communication in a specific place (for example, in a train or medical facility) where wireless communication is restricted or prohibited, a device (for example, target device 11 or wireless key 12) that performs wireless communication is specified. There is a method of stopping / starting wireless communication when entering or leaving a place (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing stop / start of the wireless communication function according to the prior art.

When the owner of the target device 11 enters the station through the automatic ticket gate (S101), the wireless communication is automatically stopped (S102). Thereafter, when the owner of the target device 11 leaves the station through the automatic ticket gate at the arrival station (S103), wireless communication is automatically started (S104).
