  In the present embodiment, the short-range wireless communication reader 180 acquires the internal information of the information processing apparatus 200 as described above.

This is because, for example, the information processing apparatus 200 is powered off and the communication means is interrupted due to a disaster or the like, or the door for accessing the information processing apparatus 200 is damaged or the key is lost. This also indicates that internal information such as history information and device status of the information processing device 200 can be acquired.
Generally, when a power failure occurs, an ATM is often configured to operate by supplying power from an internal UPS or an external UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) function. However, such a UPS function is designed on the assumption that power is restored within a few hours even if the power failure is long. Therefore, for example, when a power outage occurs for a long time as in a disaster, the power supply from the UPS function is interrupted, and no power is supplied to the ATM.

  In such a case, the data in the ATM cannot be acquired for a normal ATM. This is because the ATM needs to be supplied with power in order to output data to the outside.

  The first effect of the present embodiment described above is that the internal information of the information processing apparatus 200 can be acquired even when the information processing apparatus 200 is powered off.

  This is because the following configuration is included.

  The second effect of the present embodiment described above is that the internal information of the information processing apparatus 200 can be acquired without opening the door of the information processing apparatus 200.

  The reason is that the passive short-range wireless communication unit 210 including the passive unit antenna 112 is supported near the inner side of the wall portion of the information processing apparatus 200 through which radio waves pass. It is.

The nonvolatile storage means operates by receiving power supply from the power supply means via the cable, and stores the received data in response to a write instruction received from the short-range wireless communication control means The information processing apparatus according to claim 1. The first antenna means, the nonvolatile memory means, and the short-range wireless communication control means are passive short-range wireless communication means integrated in a card shape,
It said retaining means removably said passive short-range wireless communication means, the inside of the wall to hold the position to keep the communication is distance between the external device across the wall,
The information processing apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 3. An information processing apparatus having first antenna means , nonvolatile storage means, and internal information output means ,
The first antenna means and the non-volatile storage means are held inside a wall that partitions the outside and the inside of the information processing apparatus and transmits communication radio waves of the external apparatus, and holds the first antenna means The position to be a position where the first antenna means and the external device existing outside can communicate with each other,
Through the first antenna means, said receiving the communication radio waves from an external device is output as a radio communication signals, simultaneously, receives a first power by electromagnetic induction of the communication radio waves,
Operated by the received first power, based on a data request included in the wireless communication signal, to output a read instruction to the nonvolatile storage means ,
The non-volatile storage means is
Operating with the received first power, in response to the read instruction, outputting stored data;
The information processing apparatus is
Reading the data from the non-volatile storage means;
Operating with the received first power, transmitting the read data to the external device via the first antenna means;
The nonvolatile storage means includes
The information processing apparatus operated by the second power supplied by the receive data output from the internal information output means, information output method of storing the received data.
