Data processing apparatus

摘要

One objective of the invention is to provide a hybrid portable communication terminal, as a data processing apparatus, that can employ together application programs for both a portable telephone and a contactless card terminal and that can communicate with an external device in accordance with a predetermined protocol by using, as needed, an appropriate application program, while another other objective is to permit a local server to identify each terminal.

A hybrid portable communication terminal comprising terminals having different communication systems employs together or selectively, as needed, an application program for a telephone terminal and an application program for performing various data processing procedures, with an external communication terminal, using close-range contactless communication. Furthermore, so that a local server can identify each terminal, a terminal ID is registered and transmitted to the local server.
