Abstract
In a cellular phone, a central control section generally locks a noncontact IC card function as an invalid state. When an ID of an external device to which the cellular phone approaches is already registered in a registration list, the central control section releases the lock to execute electronic payment processing. After that, the central control section locks the noncontact IC card function as the invalid state. Meanwhile, when the ID of the external device is not registered yet, in the case that a user instructs to release the lock, the central control section releases the lock to execute the electronic payment processing. When the external device is not registered yet, the ID of the external device is automatically registered in the registration list.
