Abstract
When an application activation instruction is input, it is decided whether the application is expected to access a high-level protection resource or low-level protection resource (step S). If the decision is affirmative, display is done to prompt the user to select whether to permit activation of the application (step S). When the user inputs an activation permission instruction, the application is activated (steps Sto S). As a result, only when the user permits an application, which is expected to access a high-level protection resource or low-level protection resource, to access a predetermined resource immediately before its execution, the application is executed. Hence, the basic processing part and application can operate in cooperation with each other while limiting access to various kinds of resources by the application in a reasonable range.
