Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and information processing system

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

• connecting a plurality of communication interfaces to one or more communication lines;
• storing in a memory first authentication information to be used for user authentication;
• receiving, by a near field communication interface, second authentication information from an integrated circuit (IC) card;
• performing user authentication by a first authentication method,
• wherein, in the first authentication method, the user authentication is performed by comparing the first authentication information stored in the memory to the second authentication information received from the IC card;
• transmitting the second authentication information received from the IC card to an authentication server;
• performing user authentication by a second authentication method,
• wherein, in the second authentication method, the user authentication is performed by using a user authentication result transmitted from the authentication server;
• if a user is authenticated by the first authentication method, selecting a communication interface from among the plurality of communication interfaces by a first method as a communication interface used for transmission of information to a terminal apparatus, or, if a user is authenticated by the second authentication method, selecting a communication interface from among the plurality of communication interfaces by a second method as a communication interface used for transmission of information to the terminal apparatus;
• transmitting information to the terminal apparatus by using the selected communication interface;
• and
• if a user is not authenticated by the second authentication method, controlling to display a list of terminal apparatuses that are connected to each of the plurality of communication interfaces for user selection of a terminal apparatus for transmission of the information to the terminal apparatus selected by the user.

An information processing system comprising:

• an information processing apparatus including:
• a plurality of communication interfaces that are connected to one or more communication lines;
• a memory that stores first authentication information to be used for user authentication;
• a near field communication interface that receives second authentication information from an integrated circuit (IC) card;
• a central processing unit (CPU) programmed to:
• perform user authentication by a first authentication method,
• wherein, in the first authentication method, the user authentication is performed by comparing the first authentication information stored in the memory to the second authentication information received from the IC card;
• transmit the second authentication information received from the IC card to an authentication server;
• perform user authentication by a second authentication method,
• wherein, in the second authentication method, the user authentication is performed by using a user authentication result transmitted from the authentication server;
• if the user authentication is performed by the first authentication method, select a communication interface from among the plurality of communication interfaces by a first method as a communication interface used for transmission of information to a terminal apparatus, or, if the user authentication is performed by the second authentication method, select a communication interface from among the plurality of communication interfaces by a second method as a communication interface used for transmission of information to the terminal apparatus;
• transmit information to the terminal apparatus by using the selected communication interface;
• and
• if a user is not authenticated by the second authentication method, control to display a list of terminal apparatuses that are connected to each of the plurality of communication interfaces for user selection of a terminal apparatus for transmission of the information to the terminal apparatus selected by the user;
• and
• a terminal apparatus that receives the transmitted information.
