Patent attributes
An information acquiring section acquires identification information recorded in a card. A behavior DB stores a kind-of-card ID, and software associated with the kind-of-card ID. A processing section, when the identification information is acquired by the information acquiring section, specifies software associated with a kind of card by referring to storage contents of the behavior DB. Incidentally, the behavior DB stores the kind-of-card ID and processing for software with the kind-of-card ID and the processing being associated with each other. The processing section executes the processing stored in the behavior DB for the specified software.
