In an information processor or personal computer ( 1 ) to which a terminal is connected and which checks out or in a content to or from the terminal, a device driver ( 116 ) detects that a portable device ( 6 ) is connected to the personal computer ( 1 ), and when the device driver ( 116 ) detects that the portable device ( 6 ) is connected to the personal computer ( 1 ), a start-up program ( 117 ) reads contents-related data from the portable device ( 6 ) and starts up a display/operation instruction program ( 112 ) to provide a display corresponding to the read data.
