Abstract
A mobile device includes a housing, a sensor and a deformation detecting IC which detect deformation of the housing, a memory which stores a pattern database in which patterns of the deformation of the housing are registered in advance, and an authentication unit which performs authentication based on whether or not the deformation of the housing detected by the sensor and the deformation detecting IC corresponds to a pattern registered in the pattern database.
