Abstract
A pen-inputted personal information terminal device comprises a dedicated pen incorporating therein an ID code transmitting section for transmitting a specific ID code. When the dedicated pen is accommodated in a pen accommodating section of the main system of the terminal, an ID receiving section receives ID code from the dedicated pen, and a control section authorizes the input, if it is determined that the received ID code matches an ID code stored in a storage section, from a tablet with any other pen. When input from the tablet is executed with the dedicated pen even if the dedicated pen is not accommodated in the pen accommodating section of the main system thereof, the control section determines the ID code, and authorizes the input from the tablet if the inputted ID code matches the previously stored ID code.
