Abstract
There is provided an information processing device, a mobile terminal, and an information processing method capable of executing information processing more reliably. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is used to transmit a beacon that is a signal for detecting a mobile terminal within a communication range of the BLE. Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is used to perform ranging processing of measuring at least a distance from the mobile terminal detected using the beacon to a UWB gate unit provided with a fare calculation zone in which fare payment processing is performed with the mobile terminal. Then, when it is detected that the mobile terminal enters the fare calculation zone on the basis of a result of the ranging processing using UWB, data communication for payment using UWB is performed between the UWB gate unit and the mobile terminal. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a touchless fare payment system using BLE and UWB.
