1. An information processing system comprising:

  • a magnetic-field generation apparatus for generating a magnetic field; and

    an information processing apparatus for performing wireless communication with an electronic device, the information processing apparatus having a reader/writer function and an IC card function,wherein the magnetic-field generation apparatus includesgeneration means for generating the magnetic field, the magnetic-flux density of the magnetic field changing with time, andwherein the information processing apparatus includesan antenna for causing an induced voltage to be generated from the magnetic field when the reader/writer function is to be operated and for causing an induced voltage to be generated from a magnetic field from a reader/writer when the IC card function is to be operated;

    supply means for supplying electrical power obtained by rectifying the generated induced voltage to each section of the information processing apparatus;

    verification means for verifying whether or not the electronic device in a communicable state is an authorized device on the basis of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic-field generation apparatus when the reader/writer function is to be operated; and

    output means for outputting, to another device, output information for allowing the other device connected to the information processing apparatus to operate, the output information being obtained from transmission information transmitted from the electronic device, when the electronic device is authenticated to be an authorized device.
