An input position processing program detects a series of pieces of position data based on input positions outputted from a pointing device, and defines a reference position. When the last piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than a reference area, an operation is to be performed determined based on a direction that extends from the reference position to the defined area indicated by the last piece of position data. When an intermediate piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than the reference area and the last piece of position data indicates a point within the reference area, the operation to be performed is determined based on the combination of directions representing a reciprocal movement between the reference position and the defined area indicated by the intermediate piece of position data.

A card verification system in which a card identification code is registered. A read unit reads the card identification code from the card. A verification apparatus verifies the card only when an existing place of the read unit belongs to an area corresponding to the card identification code. The card is a card used for settlement, and is used when the card identification code is read by the read unit. The use place of the card is coincident with the existing place of the read unit. By adding the use place of the card to a verification condition of the card, unjust use of the card can be prevented.

In one aspect of the present invention, when a communication terminal uploads particular media data to an application server, the communication terminal uploads the media data by organizing it into a plurality of segments and one response message is issued by the application server for a predefined number of segments. If an upload error occurs, the upload can be easily resumed without verification of the uploaded data based on a sequence number of a segment provided by the application server. When a data upload is cancelled intentionally before completed, the data upload can be easily cancelled through an exchange of a request and a response between the communication terminal and the application server.
