Abstract
The present invention is provided with: an identifying portion that reads a plurality of pieces of identification information including the same unique information provided to a division card; and a control portion that determines that the division card is usable when the unique information obtained from each of the plurality of pieces of identification information match up, and that determines that the division card is unusable when the unique information does not match up. Since whether or not the division card is usable is determined on the basis of the matching up or non-matching up of the unique information of the plurality of pieces of identification information provided to the division card, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the division card is usable.
