Abstract
An information processing device includes an interface configured to receive authentication information from an electronic device. The device also includes circuitry configured to identify an execution range of an association operation program executed by the electronic device, the execution range being indicative of an authentication of an association between the electronic device and another electronic device.
Claims19
An information processing device, comprising:
- an interface configured to
- receive an instruction of an association operation executed by an association operation program in an electronic device from a user;
- and
- store a log information of the association operation executed by the association operation program having been executed by the electronic device between another device;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- determine an execution range of the association operation program in the electronic device, the association operation program being a program executed by the electronic device regarding the association operation between the electronic device and the other electronic device within the determined execution range, wherein the execution range is a range of allowed functions that are permitted to be performed,
- wherein the association operation program describes an entity executing an operation, a function of an Application Programming Interface (API) to be used, and a parameter set for the API,
- wherein the electronic device and the other device are external to the information processing device, and
- wherein the association operation program includes a first part in which permission based on the authentication information is necessary for execution, and a second part in which the permission based on the authentication information is not necessary for execution, and
- the circuitry is configured to execute the second part regardless of the authentication information.
An information processing method, comprising:
- receiving an instruction of an association operation executed by an association operation program in an electronic device from a user;
- storing a log information of the association operation executed by the association operation program having been executed by the electronic device between another device;
- and
- determining, using circuitry, an execution range of the association operation program in the electronic device, the association operation program being a program executed by the electronic device regarding the association operation between the electronic device and the other electronic device within the determined execution range, wherein the execution range is a range of allowed functions that are permitted to be performed,
- wherein the association operation program describes an entity executing an operation, a function of an Application Programming Interface (API) to be used, and a parameter set for the API,
- wherein the circuitry is external to the electronic device and the other device, and
- wherein the association operation program includes a first part in which permission based on the authentication information is necessary for execution, and a second part in which the permission based on the authentication information is not necessary for execution, and
- the method further comprises executing the second part regardless of the authentication information.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising:
- receiving an instruction of an association operation executed by an association operation program in an electronic device from a user;
- storing a log information of the association operation executed by the association operation program having been executed by the electronic device between another device;
- and
- determining an execution range of the association operation program in the electronic device, the association operation program being a program executed by the electronic device regarding the association operation between the electronic device and the other electronic device within the determined execution range, wherein the execution range is a range of allowed functions that are permitted to be performed,
- wherein the association operation program describes an entity executing an operation, a function of an Application Programming Interface (API) to be used, and a parameter set for the API,
- wherein the electronic device and the other device are external to the computer,
- wherein the association operation program includes a first part in which permission based on the authentication information is necessary for execution, and a second part in which the permission based on the authentication information is not necessary for execution, and
- the method further comprises executing the second part regardless of the authentication information.
