A vehicle system for a vehicle includes a controller configured to: identify a user profile to be loaded based on communication with a user device; receive user preference packets containing a user ID from the user device; determine whether the user ID of the user preference packets matches with a user ID of the user profile to be loaded; and discard the user preference packets in response to determining that the user ID of the user preference packets does not match with the user ID of the user profile to be loaded.

Correcting a mismatched user profile for vehicle settings

An information processing apparatus has a controller configured to identify a driver of a vehicle on the basis of at least one of the results of first authentication based on a first part of the living body of a user and second authentication based on a user device. The controller gives higher priority to the result of first authentication than the result of second authentication in the processing of identifying the driver of the vehicle. The user device may include a first communication terminal capable of functioning as an electronic key of the vehicle and a second communication terminal incapable of functioning as an electronic key of the vehicle. The controller gives higher priority to the result of authentication of the first communication terminal than the result of authentication of the second communication terminal.
