In S57 of FIG. 11, the issuance processing unit 17 determines whether or not to issue a membership card to the NFC chip 2a. When the membership card is issued to the NFC chip 2a (S57: YES), the control unit 10 moves the process to S58. On the other hand, when the membership card is not issued to the NFC chip 2a (S57: NO), the control unit 10 returns the processing to FIG.
For example, when the active wgt22 is “wgtA” which is “XX cafe membership card”, this corresponds to the case where the membership card is issued to the NFC chip 2a as shown in FIG.

The processes from S58 to S63 are issuing processes for the NFC chip 2a. This issuing process corresponds to (# 11) to (# 13) of FIG. 5 described above.
In S <b> 58, the issue processing unit 17 of the portable information terminal 1 performs processing with the UIM management server 9. Specifically, the process selection unit 17a of the portable information terminal 1 selects an issue process for the NFC chip 2a. Then, the issuance processing unit 17 requests the UIM management server 9 for primary issuance. The primary issue is a process for confirming whether information necessary for issuing the membership card can be written in the UIM 3. If the UIM 3 can be written, the UIM management server 9 transmits the issuing application 24 to the portable information terminal 1. The control unit 10 stores the received issue application 24 in the UIM 3.
In S <b> 59, the issuance processing unit 17 activates the issuance application 24 installed in the UIM 3.
