Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an authenticating unit, a transmitter, a receiver, and a controller. The authenticating unit authenticates a user. The transmitter transmits user identification information of the user authenticated by the authenticating unit to a management apparatus via a dedicated network used for exchanging the user identification information and restriction information. The receiver receives the restriction information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user identification information from the management apparatus via the dedicated network. The controller controls a range of a function usable by the user based on the restriction information received by the receiver.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a hardware processor programmed to:
- authenticate a user;
- transmit user identification information of the user authenticated by the processor to a management apparatus via a dedicated network used for exchanging the user identification information and restriction information;
- receive the restriction information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user identification information from the management apparatus via the dedicated network;
- and
- control a range of a function usable by the user based on the restriction information received by the processor, wherein
- the dedicated network is connected only to the information processing apparatus and the management apparatus,
- the dedicated network is a wireless communication line connectable to the management apparatus without a network setting, and
- the wireless communication line is based on a wide-area wireless communication network in which data is exchanged at a communication speed lower than a communication speed in a network different from the dedicated network.
An information processing system comprising:
- a management apparatus that stores user identification information of a user and restriction information in correspondence with each other, the restriction information restricting a range of a function usable by the user;
- and
- an information processing apparatus including a hardware processor programmed to:
- authenticate the user,
- transmit the user identification information of the user authenticated by the processor to the management apparatus via a dedicated network used for exchanging the user identification information and the restriction information,
- receive the restriction information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user identification information from the management apparatus via the dedicated network, and
- control the range of the function usable by the user based on the restriction information received by the processor, wherein
- the dedicated network is connected only to the information processing apparatus and the management apparatus,
- the dedicated network is a wireless communication line connectable to the management apparatus without a network setting, and
- the wireless communication line is based on a wide-area wireless communication network in which data is exchanged at a communication speed lower than a communication speed in a network different from the dedicated network.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
- authenticating a user;
- transmitting user identification information of the authenticated user to a management apparatus via a dedicated network used for exchanging the user identification information and restriction information;
- receiving the restriction information of the user corresponding to the transmitted user identification information from the management apparatus via the dedicated network;
- and
- controlling a range of a function usable by the user based on the received restriction information, wherein
- the dedicated network is connected only to the computer and the management apparatus,
- the dedicated network is a wireless communication line connectable to the management apparatus without a network setting, and
- the wireless communication line is based on a wide-area wireless communication network in which data is exchanged at a communication speed lower than a communication speed in a network different from the dedicated network.
