Information processing apparatus and information processing system

An information processing system for suggesting first charging equipment or second charging equipment to a user of a vehicle in which an electric power storage device is mounted, the first charging equipment being configured to charge the electric power storage device via a contact charging method using a charging cable, the second charging equipment being configured to charge the electric power storage device via a non-contact charging method that is different from the contact charging method, the information processing system comprising:

• a determination section that determines a non-contact charging recommendation degree representing a degree of recommendation of the non-contact charging method to the user, based on a characteristic of the user;
• a setting section that sets suggested equipment that is charging equipment to be suggested to the user, of the first charging equipment and the second charging equipment;
• a notification section that notifies the user of the suggested equipment,
• wherein when the non-contact charging recommendation degree is high, the setting section is more likely to set the second charging equipment as the suggested equipment than when the non-contact charging recommendation degree is low;
• and
• an input section that receives an input of profile information of the user, wherein:
• the non-contact charging recommendation degree is determined according to the profile information,
• the profile information includes a user age that is an age of the user,
• the characteristic of the user includes the user age input through the input section, and
• the determination section determines the non-contact charging recommendation degree such that when the user age is high, the non-contact charging recommendation degree becomes higher than that when the user age is low.
