PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an intuitive interface in an information processor to which electronic apparatus is connected. SOLUTION: A fingerprint sensor 11 is installed on the surface of the casing of a USB memory 1. It is necessary for a user to make the USB memory 1 collate the fingerprint in using the USB memory 1 as a storage medium outside a personal computer. When the USB memory 1 is inserted, an icon showing a drive in such a state that a removable disk is not inserted is displayed in the personal computer. When authentication performed by the USB memory 1 succeeds, information relating to a file stored in an internal flash memory is reported from the USB memory 1 to the personal computer, and the icon showing the file is displayed in the personal computer. The invention may be applied to the USB memory having the authenticating function of the user. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
