An IC module (secure element with an IC card function) mounted on a
portable device executes a process relating to a service, via contactless
communication with a service terminal located at a certain place. At
least one of the IC module and the portable device judges whether a
change, made in state data related to the service and made by the process
with a user's check eliminated, satisfies a condition set as requiring an
attraction of a user's attention. According to the result of the
judgment, a user interface function of the portable device notifies a
user.
