Mobile phone for checking the presence of an integrated circuit card

A mobile phone comprising:

• a first timer configured to output a first time out signal representing that a first processing is to be executed by running a system each time when a first given time period has elapsed;
• a starting controller configured to run the system if the first time out signal is received;
• a first processing unit configured to execute the first processing if the first time out signal is received and if the system is run;
• a second timer configured,
• when the system is run and if it is determined that a second given time period has elapsed from a time counting start time, to output a second time out signal representing that a second processing of confirming information as to whether an IC card is inserted or interchanged is to be executed, and
• when the system is shifted from a sleeping state to a starting state, the second timer calculates a time period elapsed from the time counting start time, during the sleeping state, to the starting state and determines whether time out has occurred, and
• a polling processing unit configured to execute the second processing if the second time out signal is received.
