<p>An IC card terminal device (2) reads functions stored in an IC card inserted therein, and displays them on its screen (S5). The card user selects that one of the functions, which they intend to execute (S6). The IC card terminal device (2) determines whether or not it has an application corresponding to the selected function (S7). If the terminal device does not have the application, it reads information stored in the IC card and related to the function (S9). On the basis of the information, the terminal device (2) is connected to a host apparatus (4a) as a service provider (S10), thereby downloading a necessary application therefrom (S12). After that, the downloaded application corresponding to the selected function is executed (S13). <IMAGE></p> |
