1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a contactless communication part that performs contactless communication with an IC tag having a contactless communication function;
a data writing part that writes, using the contactless communications part, data to the IC tag;
a storage part that stores data to be written by the data writing part, wherein the data is stored in association with identification information of the IC tag, and wherein the storage part has stored therein a plurality of other data each of which is stored in association with a respective other IC tag;
a data reading part that, using the contactless communication part, reads data stored in the IC tag;
an information processor that performs information processing for a game by using data read from the IC tag by the data reading part and updates the read data, wherein the data writing part writes the updated data to the data storage medium, wherein the read data and the updated data include data specifying one or more attributes of a character in the game; and
a corruption determination part that determines, based upon at least a first data read from the IC tag by the data reading part, whether the first data stored in the IC tag is corrupted,wherein when the corruption determination part determines that the first data stored in the IC tag is corrupted, the data writing part writes a second data stored in the storage part in association with identification information of the IC tag to the IC tag, and wherein the first data and the second data include data specifying said one or more attributes of the character.

Abstract
An example system includes: a contactless communication part that performs contactless communication with a data storage medium having a contactless communication function; a data writing part that writes data to the data storage medium by the contactless communication part; a storage part that stores the data written by the data writing part; and a corruption determination part that determines whether the data stored in the data storage medium is corrupted or not. When the corruption determination part determines that the data is corrupted, the data writing part writes the data stored in the storage part, to the data storage medium.
