Abstract
In a case where a plurality of users are made correspondent to one IC card, user changeover is performed without a logout process. When the IC card is passed over a card reader while a user is logging in, it is judged whether or not the passed card is the IC card used in a login process of the user who is logging in. If NO, a logout process of the user who is logging in is performed, and a user login process using the newly passed IC card is performed. On the other hand, if YES, it is further judged whether or not the plurality of users are made correspondent to the passed IC card. If YES, selection of the user who intends to newly log in is accepted.
