Reference numeral 46 denotes a photocell required when the ID side has a power source independently.

The intelligent circuit section 40 exchanges information with an external device via the system interface 44. The interface contacts may be contact or non-contact, and may be bus-coupled or communication-coupled. As the communication, radio wave communication, optical communication, or the like can be considered.

Further, the ID of the present embodiment is
5 when it is necessary to transmit information to the outside or when it is necessary to load data and programs from the outside. On the other hand, 30 is a personal computer kit, which is a bus-connected peripheral. It consists only of equipment. Among them, those shown by solid lines are the minimum essential elements, and those shown by broken lines are additional elements that are not essential.

The essential elements include an optical disk drive unit 31 including a pickup for reading (writing) data from the disk unit 50 of the ID of the present example and a drive circuit of the pickup, and the current state of the system or information. , A display 34 (preferably an LCD), a keyboard 34 for inputting user instructions (this is replaced by a touch panel on the display 33),

However, for example, only display on the display unit 33, only print output from the printer 37, only storage of information on the hard disk 36, etc. A dedicated device may be considered. However, also in this case, the optical disk drive unit 31 is always an essential element.

In this case, when improving the conventional equipment,
ID interface 32 and system interface 34
It is necessary to match the system side and the ID side via the interface, but in the future, the interface (even in the case of bus connection) will be standardized to identify which system and which ID
Preferably, they can be easily combined.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which only the peripheral device is provided on the system side. However, the present invention can be applied even if the system is one of the conventional personal computers.
