SOLUTION: When the frequency of data rewriting reaches a predetermined value, a predetermined amount of data among data X stored in a storage area 33 is moved into a storage area 32. A predetermined amount of data among data Y stored in a storage area 34 is moved into an area of the storage area 33, in which data having not moved yet from the data X is not stored and a part or the whole of the data Y having moved is not stored. A part or the whole of data X stored in the storage area 32 is moved into an area of the storage area 34 in which data having not moved yet from the data Y is not stored and a part or the whole of first data having moved is not stored. Then, the remaining data X and Y stored in the storage area 33 and the storage area 34 are moved likewise. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
