Abstract: A specific-accessible service and a commonly accessible service can co-exist while ensuring the security thereof. It is assumed that a common area of a company A's issued IC card has registered therein an electronic value (corresponding to 1000 yen and a specific area thereof has registered therein a specific-accessible service point of 50 (corresponding to 50 yen).
