Provided is an information processing system that improves user convenience. An MFP (electronic apparatus) transmits radio waves with a constant output, and a portable terminal receives the radio waves, and together with sequentially transmitting a reservation request, the reservation content, and the start of the reservation content to the MFP (electronic apparatus) in accordance with the change in the intensity of the radio wave according to the distance to the MFP (electronic apparatus), sequentially informs of the current reservation status. As a result, even when a user does not go to the place where the MFP (electronic apparatus) desired to be used is installed, by sequentially informing of the current reservation status, it is possible to inform of the number and order of people who want to use the MFP (electronic apparatus) in advance.
