Abstract: An information acquiring section acquires identification information recorded in a card. A behavior DB stores a kind-of-card ID, and software associated with the kind-of-card ID. A processing section, when the identification information is acquired by the information acquiring section, specifies software associated with a kind of card by referring to storage contents of the behavior DB. Incidentally, the behavior DB stores the kind-of-card ID and processing for software with the kind-of-card ID and the processing being associated with each other. The processing section executes the processing stored in the behavior DB for the specified software.

Abstract: Provided is a self-propelled reading device to read cards more reliably. Each of the cards includes a first end part configured to be adjacent to another card in a predetermined direction; a second end part configured to be on the opposite side of the first end part and adjacent to another card different from the first end part; and a surface printed with a pattern in which are coded coordinates indicating a positional relation relative to a reference line extended in the predetermined direction indicative of a region in which a self-propelled device is to travel. Each of the first and the second end parts has a positioning part regulating how the other card adjacent to the end part is to be placed. The positioning parts and the reference line have a predetermined positional relation therebetween.

Abstract: In a case where an actual object is moved by a user manipulation or by other means, physical phenomena associated with the object are addressed. A control system includes a mobile apparatus being an apparatus that moves on a sheet where images indicating coordinates are arranged and having a camera for photographing part of the sheet. The control system acquires the user manipulation, controls the mobile apparatus in such a manner as to travel according to the user manipulation (S106), detects a position of the mobile apparatus on the basis of an image photographed by the camera included in the mobile apparatus (S101), determines, on the basis of the position detection by position detection means, whether or not the mobile apparatus has moved in a manner estimated on the basis of the user manipulation (S102, S105), and performs a predetermined procedure (S103, S110, S111) in a case where it is determined that the mobile apparatus does not move in the estimated manner.
