FeliCa

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

FeliCa

An all-in-one identification and financial transaction chip from Sony. Coined from "felicity," which means "happiness," FeliCa cards are designed for use as passenger tickets, in-store and e-commerce transactions and employee/student IDs. Using RFID technology, the contactless FeliCa card is passed over a reader/writer, rather than inserted into a slot.

The platform is being jointly developed by JR East and DoCoMo based on an agreement between the two companies in July 2005 to create and manage common infrastructure for JR East's Suica e-money and DoCoMo's Osaifu-Keitai credit card service, both of which are based on FeliCa smart-card technology.
The i-mode FeliCa service lets people use their phones, embedded with a special chip, as a credit card, key, even a contact-less prepaid train pass.
The operating system embedded in Felica has a file system that securely separates data by application.
