Abstract
A vehicle entry system that comprises a portable terminal and an onboard device that wirelessly communicates with the portable terminal. The onboard device has: a door opening and closing unit that can lock a vehicle door in a closed state and open the vehicle door to a prescribed angle; and an onboard control unit that, on the basis of commands from a portable terminal, controls a vehicle drive system and the door opening and closing unit. The portable terminal has a touch panel and a terminal control unit that outputs commands to the onboard control unit. A plurality of icons on the touch panel include an advance-and-open-door icon to advance to a location at which the door can open and, after advancing, to open the door; and a reverse-and-open-door icon to reverse to a location at which the door can open and, after reversing, to open the door.
