1. An information processing system comprising an information processing device and an extension antenna device connected to the information processing device, whereinthe information processing device comprises:

  • a communication control unit which performs short-range wireless communication with a communicator having a short-range wireless communication function;

    a base antenna which is used for the short-range wireless communication; and

    an information processing device-side terminal which is configured to be connected with the extension antenna device,the extension antenna device comprises;

    an extension antenna which is used for the short-range wireless communication; and

    an extension antenna-side terminal which, by being connected to the information processing device-side terminal, connects the extension antenna and the information processing device to each other,the communication control unit performs the short-range wireless communication with the communicator via at least one of the base antenna and the extension antenna,the information processing device further comprises a switching unit configured to switch a signal to be sent to the communication control unit between a signal from the base antenna and a signal from the extension antenna,the communication control unit controls switching of antennas by the switching unit; and

    the communication control unit controls the switching unit so that a signal to be sent to the communication control unit is switched between a signal from the base antenna and a signal from the extension antenna for each prescribed time, and determines from which antenna the input of the signal as data has been made, based on a time block in which the signal has been input.
