Electronic device capable of easy application creation

Abstract

An electronic device includes: a central processing unit (CPU), and a storage device. The storage device includes: a first application; an add-on including: a first programming portion configured in a first programming language and a second programming portion configured in a second programming language and called by the first programming portion; and a second application using the add-on. The CPU determines, based on authentication information associated with the add-on, whether or not the call of the second programming portion by the first programming portion is permitted, and upon determination that the call is permitted, provides the add-on with a right of the call.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
