Abstract

In a system, mobile terminal and a reader are communicable with each other. In the mobile terminal, a terminal tilt state is detected by a detecting unit as a terminal environmental state, an information code is generated such that the detected terminal environmental state and predetermined information are recorded in the information code, and the generated information code is displayed on the screen of a display unit. In the reader, a reading surface tilt state corresponding to the terminal environmental state is detected by a detecting unit as a reading surface environmental state. When the reader reads the information code and the detected reading surface environmental state and the detected terminal environmental state show the same environmental state, the read predetermined information is used by a control unit to perform processing based on the predetermined information.
