Abstract
An information processor or personal computer is provided having an operably linked terminal which checks out/in in a content to or from the terminal. A device driver detects that a portable device is connected to the personal computer, and when the device driver detects that the portable device is connected to the personal computer, a start-up program reads contents-related data from the portable device and starts up a display/operation instruction program to provide a display corresponding to the read data.
