Information processing device, information processing method, and computer program

An information processing method comprising:

• acquiring first authentication data from a first object and second authentication data from a second object;
• determining authenticity of the first object based on the first authentication data;
• determining authenticity of the second object based on the second authentication data;
• changing activation states of both the first object and the second object based on the determined authenticities of both the first object and the second object;
• and
• changing, when the determined authenticities of both the first object and the second object are determined to be authentic, the activation states of both the first object and the second object.

An information processing system comprising:

• a communication device configured to read information from a first object and a second object and record information to the first object and the second object;
• a game machine body configured to receive the information read from the first object and the second object and transmit the recorded information to the first object and the second object;
• and
• an information processing apparatus comprising:
• circuitry configured to:
• acquire first authentication data from the first object and second authentication data from the second object;
• determine authenticity of the first object based on the first authentication data;
• determine authenticity of the second object based on the second authentication data;
• and
• change activation states of both the first object and the second object based on the determined authenticities of both the first object and the second object,
• wherein, when the determined authenticities of both the first object and the second object are determined to be authentic, the circuitry is further configured to change the activation states of both the first object and the second object.
