Abstract
A mode setting unit sets either a first mode or a second mode. When the first mode is set, the item information acquiring unit acquires item acquisition information stored in an external server via a communication unit. On the other hand, when the second mode is set, the item information acquiring unit acquires the item acquisition information from a storage. A display processing unit displays on a display unit an item acquisition status using the item acquisition information acquired by the item information acquiring unit.
