Abstract
A relative position of a mobile terminal with respect to a vehicle is measured. The mobile terminal includes a position-measurement-necessity determining unit and a position-measurement control unit, and the position-measurement-necessity determining unit determines whether it is necessary to measure the relative position depending on whether the mobile terminal is in a predetermined state when the mobile terminal enters from the outside to the inside of an out-vehicle communication area of a first vehicle communication unit. The position-measurement control unit causes a position measuring unit provided in the vehicle to measure the relative position when the position-measurement-necessity determining unit determines that it is necessary to measure the relative position.
