1. A mobile terminal communication system for a vehicle, the system comprising:
seats installed in a vehicle wherein each seat is configured to output first information in relation to a motion of an occupant; and
a processor configured to communicate with the seats and to communicate with a mobile terminal possessed by a person in the vehicle,
wherein the processor includes:
a receiving device configured to receive, from the mobile terminal, an output including second information in relation to the motion of the person outputted by the mobile terminal;
a comparison processing device configured to estimate a control-target seat, on which the person is seated, among the seats by comparing the first information outputted by each seat with the second information, and
a pairing processing device configured to pair the control-target seat thus estimated with the mobile terminal and to transmit an output of the paired mobile terminal to the control-target seat.
