IC CARD AND IC CARD SYSTEM

An IC card communicates with a reader/writer, which is induction-type read/write communication equipment, in a contactless manner. A power supply control circuit detects presence or absence of power reception in accordance with an output voltage of a power receiving circuit, detects presence or absence of predetermined communication by using an electronic functional circuit, starts to charge an electrical energy storage device by using a charging circuit when there is not the predetermined communication immediately after power reception is detected, and supplies power from a voltage conversion circuit to the electronic functional circuit without starting to charge the electrical energy storage device by using the charging circuit when there is the predetermined communication immediately after power reception is detected.
