1. A telematics service system comprising:
a working vehicle;
an attachment mountable to and demountable from the working vehicle;
a transmitter provided in or on the attachment to transmit a wireless signal compliant with a near field communication standard;
a first communicator to receive the wireless signal transmitted from the transmitter;
a second communicator to transmit attachment information including identification information about the attachment;
a server to receive the attachment information transmitted from the second communicator and manage the attachment information as telematics information; and
a controller to acquire the identification information from the wireless signal received by the first communicator, include the identification information into the attachment information, and cause the second communicator to transmit the attachment information to the server, wherein
the controller is configured or programmed to:
in response to an operation to mount the attachment to the working vehicle, determine whether or not the attachment is in a mounted state in which the attachment is considered mounted to the working vehicle, and, upon determining that the attachment is in the mounted state, prepare a mount notification indicating that the attachment is in the mounted state and cause the second communicator to transmit the mount notification to the server; and
in response to an operation to demount the attachment from the working vehicle, determine whether or not the attachment is in a demounted state in which the attachment is considered demounted from the working vehicle, and, upon determining that the attachment is in the demounted state, prepare a demount notification indicating that the attachment is in the demounted state and cause the second communicator to transmit the demount notification to the server.
