Abstract

An information processing system includes an information processing device arranged in a vehicle, a portable device storing unique information, a specification information recording unit configured to record specification information having a predetermined relationship with the unique information, a first transmission unit configured to transmit a request signal requesting transmission of the unique information, a first reception unit configured to receive the unique information transmitted from the portable device, a position specifying unit configured to compare the received unique information with the specification information and specify whether or not the portable device is inside the vehicle, a detection unit configured to detect a human inside the vehicle, an alarm unit configured to set off an alarm, and an alarm control unit.

Claims (37)

1. An information processing system comprising:

an information processing device arranged in a vehicle;

a portable device storing unique information;

a specification information recording unit configured to record specification information having a predetermined relationship with the unique information;

a first transmission unit configured to transmit a request signal requesting transmission of the unique information;

a first reception unit configured to receive the unique information transmitted from the portable device;

a position specifying unit configured to compare the received unique information with the specification information and specify whether or not the portable device is inside the vehicle;

a detection unit configured to detect a human inside the vehicle;

an alarm unit configured to set off an alarm; and

an alarm control unit configured to control the alarm unit so that the alarm is set off when the portable device is not inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle and the alarm is not set off when the human is continuously detected inside the vehicle from when specified that the portable device is not inside the vehicle, wherein

the portable device comprises:

a unique information recording unit for recording the unique information;

a second reception unit for receiving the request signal from the information processing device; and

a second transmission unit for transmitting the unique information recorded in the unique information recording unit in response to the request signal.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the alarm control unit controls the alarm unit so that the alarm is set off when specified that the portable device is inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing device further comprises a gear lock unit configured to lock a gear of the vehicle when specified that the portable device is not inside the vehicle.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the information processing device performs a process of monitoring bring-out of the portable device to the outside of the vehicle and setting of the alarm while an engine of the vehicle is running.

5. An information processing device arranged in a vehicle, the information processing device comprising:

a specification information recording unit configured to record specification information having a predetermined relationship with unique information recorded in a portable device;

a transmission unit configured to transmit a request signal requesting transmission of the unique information;

a reception unit configured to receive the unique information transmitted from the portable device in response to the request signal;

a position specifying unit configured to compare the received unique information with the specification information and specify whether or not the portable device is inside the vehicle;

a detection unit configured to detect a human inside the vehicle;

an alarm unit configured to set off an alarm; and

an alarm control unit configured to control the alarm unit so that the alarm is set off when the portable device is not inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle and the alarm is not set off when the human is continuously detected inside the vehicle from when specified that the portable device is not inside the vehicle.

6. An information processing method of an information processing device arranged in a vehicle, the method comprising:

recording specification information having a predetermined relationship with unique information recorded in a portable device;

transmitting a request signal requesting transmission of the unique information;

receiving the unique information transmitted from the portable device in response to the request signal;

comparing the received unique information with the specification information and specifying whether or not the portable device is inside the vehicle;

detecting a human inside the vehicle; and

controlling an alarm so that the alarm is set off when the portable device is not inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle and the alarm is not set off when the human is continuously detected inside the vehicle from when specified that the portable device is not inside the vehicle.

7. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the alarm control unit controls the alarm unit so that a second alarm is set off when specified that the portable device is inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle.

8. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the alarm control unit controls the alarm unit so that a second alarm is set off when specified that the portable device is inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle.

9. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein the alarm control unit controls the alarm unit so that the alarm is set off when specified that the portable device is inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle.

10. The information processing method according to claim 6 , wherein a second alarm is set off when specified that the portable device is inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle.

11. The information processing method according to claim 6 , wherein the alarm is set off when specified that the portable device is inside the vehicle and the human is not detected inside the vehicle.
