[0032]
According to the information processing system (5), the wireless portable terminal (for example, a mobile phone) used by the authorized operator is identified as information on the authorized operator (for example, the owner of the vehicle). Identification information (for example, the telephone number of the mobile phone) is taken into consideration, and the identification information is taken into consideration to specify the key code and whether the person using the wireless mobile terminal is the authorized operator. Judgment is made.
[0033]
For example, the mobile phone 12a possessed by the owner 11a (the owner 11a is not necessarily the owner of the vehicle 13a) visiting the communication carrier 21a by taking into account the mobile phone number. It can be determined whether or not the vehicle belongs to the owner of the vehicle 13a. Note that the phone number of the mobile phone 12a is displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone 12a, so that the phone number of the mobile phone 12a can be confirmed from the content displayed on the display screen. .
[0034]
In addition, since the latest mobile phone 12a is registered with a password that only the owner can know, the owner 11a visiting the communication carrier 21a is registered in the mobile phone 12a. Whether or not the owner 11a is the owner of the mobile phone 12a can be confirmed based on whether or not the personal identification number is known.
[0035]
As a result, even if it is not possible to directly determine whether or not the owner 11a is the owner of the vehicle 13a, the mobile phone 12a is found to be the owner of the vehicle 13a. If the person 11a is found to be the owner of the mobile phone 12a, it can be determined from these two propositions that the owner 11a is the owner of the vehicle 13a. Therefore, a very excellent information processing system can be realized by taking into account the identification information of the wireless portable terminal.
