Abstract

Abstract A noncontact IC card comprises a data transmit-receive circuit (15, 16) for transmitting and receiving data to and from outside in a noncontact manner, a detection circuit (32, 34) for detecting a trigger signal from a signal received by the data transmit-receive circuit (15, 16), a data process circuit (11) connected to the data transmit-receive circuit (15, 16) for processing the data, a clock generating circuit (19, 29) for supplying a clock signal to the data process circuit (11), an actuating circuit (35 to 39) for actuating the clock generating circuit in response to the detection of the trigger signal by the detection circuit, and a battery (17) for supplying electric power to each of the above circuits.
