Abstract
A system for loading, through a shop terminal, a game application into an IC card which disables playing of the game after a plurality of times in the same pattern by invalidating the game pattern when the play is completed and program log data is stored in the IC card. The log data is collected by a management server for each connection of the IC card and the shop terminal so as to administrate the collected data to enable dynamic management of game parameters, thereby the game application may be safely introduced to the IC card system, thereby increasing a user desire to use the card.
