Communication terminal and information communication system

Abstract

A communication terminal for connecting or mounting an IC card or the like to examiner a ticket through a non-contact communication. The communication terminal includes a function for receiving information stored in the IC card or the like in the ticket examination process and controlling itself automatically. The communication terminal can automatically display the validity of a pass and/or the balance of a prepaid sum in a ticket. Also, the communication terminal can register a specific station so that an email in a pre-registered format is created or sent automatically in the ticket examination process at the registered station.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A communication terminal, comprising: 
 a first communication unit which communicates with a communication device through a network;    a second communication unit which communicates with the communication device to receive data therefrom;    storage which stores communication device information related to the communication device and destination information for denoting a destination to which information is to be sent so that both device information and destination information correspond to each other; and    a controller for controlling information received from the communication device in a communication of the second communication unit with the communication device is sent through the first communication unit.    
     
     
         2 . The communication terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein the terminal obtains data related to a predetermined installation place of the communication device through the first or second communication unit, and wherein the controller controls the information to send that includes the data related to the installation place.  
     
     
         3 . The communication terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein information to be sent through the first communication unit is an e-mail.  
     
     
         4 . The communication terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein the communication device is an automatic ticket examination machine, the communication device information is information for denoting a station where the communication device is installed, and the data includes the name of the station and a time on which an object passes the station.  
     
     
         5 . An information communication system, comprising: 
 a communication device capable of communicating with a communication terminal; the communication terminal provided with a first communication unit for communicating with an object through a network, a second communication unit capable of receiving data from the communication device, and storage for storing communication device information related to the communication device and destination information for denoting a destination of an e-mail so that both device information and destination information correspond to each other,    wherein when a communication is made between the communication device and the second communication unit, the communication terminal creates an e-mail that includes at least part of data received from the communication device and sends the e-mail to an object through the first communication unit.    
     
     
         6 . A communication terminal, comprising: 
 a communication unit capable of communicating with a communication device to receive data therefrom;    storage for storing data received through the communication unit;    a decision unit for deciding whether or not a communication is made between the communication device and the communication unit; and    a display unit for displaying data that includes at least part of data received from the communication unit.    
     
     
         7 . A communication terminal, comprising: 
 a communication unit capable of communicating with a communication device to receive data therefrom;    storage for storing data received through the communication unit; and    a display unit for displaying data that includes at least part of data received from the communication device when the communication unit receives information for denoting that a communication has been done with the communication device.    
     
     
         8 . The communication terminal according to  claim 7 , wherein the storage stores a prepaid sum and changes the prepaid sum according to data received through the communication unit, and wherein the display unit displays data for denoting that the prepaid sum should be increased.
