Abstract

The system for using a communication terminal has a portable telephone user having a portable telephone, and a vehicle-mounted system is provided in a shared vehicle. In the portable telephone, an NFC is provided, and the vehicle-mounted system in the shared vehicle, an R/W for NFC communication is provided. When communication is performed for a first communication time between the R/W for NFC communication and the NFC by holding up the portable telephone to the R/W for NFC communication provided in the shared vehicle, door locking is performed. In addition, when communication is performed for a second communication time, a usage finishing process is performed.

Claims

1. A system for using a communication terminal, comprising:

a communication terminal having an identification information storage unit for storing user identification information; and

an operation device that performs a predetermined operation according to the user identification information,

wherein the operation device includes,

a reading unit for reading the identification information stored in the identification information storage unit;

an instruction content determination unit for determining the instruction content of the operation instructing a target based on the identification information read by the reading unit and reading conditions when reading the identification information by the reading unit; and

an operation instruction unit for instructing the target to perform an operation according to the determined results of the instruction content determination unit.

2. The system for using a communication terminal according to claim 1,

wherein the reading conditions are conditions in a state under which communication between the reading unit and the communication terminal is maintained as it is.

3. The system for using a communication terminal according to claim 2,

wherein the reading conditions are the length of the communication time between the reading unit and the communication terminal.

4. The system for using a communication terminal according to claim 3,

wherein the instruction content determination unit is able to determine between instruction content that corresponds to a predetermined first communication time and instruction content that corresponds to a second communication time longer than the first communication time.

5. The system for using a communication terminal according to claim 4,

wherein the operation instruction unit is unable to instruct an operation corresponding to the second communication time until instruction of the operation corresponding to the first communication time is performed, and

the operation instruction unit is able to instruct the operation corresponding to the second communication time after the instruction of the operation corresponding to the first communication time is performed.

6. The system for using a communication terminal according to claim 4,

wherein the instruction content determination unit determines a basic operation as the operation corresponding to the first communication time and determines a special operation as the operation corresponding to the second communication time.

7. The system for using a communication terminal according to claim 6,

wherein the target is a shared vehicle, and

the reading unit is provided in the shared vehicle.

8. The system for using communication terminal according to claim 7,

wherein the basic operation is a door locking operation of the shared vehicle, and

the special operation is a usage starting and stopping procedure operation of the shared vehicle.
