Abstract
When a tag selectorreceives a plurality of RFID tag IDs detected by an RFID tag reader, by a tag ID receiving part, it acquires nonspecificities corresponding to these RFID tag IDs from an attribute information DB. The tag selectorselects an RFID tag ID with a nonspecificity smaller than a predetermined selected tag threshold by a tag ID selecting partand notifies a service determining deviceof it. A nonspecificity is an index indicating a diversity of use of an article to which a corresponding RFID tag is attached. Therefore, the service determining devicedetermines a service to be provided for the user, based on the RFID tag ID with the low nonspecificity value, whereby it becomes feasible to promptly provide the service very likely desired by the user.
