Information processing apparatus, information processing method, computer-readable storage medium, and mobile terminal

An information processing method comprising:

• acquiring first data indicating performance of authentication that is performed by a first apparatus that performs authentication based on an electronic key acquired from a mobile apparatus;
• generating second data including an operation command for a second apparatus based on the first data, and transmitting the second data to the second apparatus;
• and
• acquiring an association among the mobile apparatus, the first apparatus, and the second apparatus,
• the first data includes a first identifier for identifying the mobile apparatus, and a second identifier for identifying the first apparatus, and
• the second apparatus to which the second data is to be transmitted is determined based on the first identifier and the second identifier.

A mobile terminal comprising:

• a storage configured to store an electronic key;
• and
• a controller comprising at least one processor configured to
• request authentication from a first apparatus including an authentication function with the electronic key,
• generate first data indicating that the authentication is performed by the first apparatus and including a first identifier for identifying the mobile terminal, and a second identifier for identifying the first apparatus, and transmit the first data to a first information processing apparatus,
• receive, from the first information processing apparatus which acquires an association among the mobile terminal, the first apparatus, and a second apparatus and determines the second apparatus to which second data is to be transmitted, based on the first identifier and the second identifier, the second data comprising a result of issuance of an operation command for the second apparatus in response to the first data, and
• present the result to a user.
