Push-to-Talk communications using a web application

An information processing method for realizing Push-to-Talk communications using a Web application, the method comprising:

• obtaining, from a terminal, authentication information including a uniform resource locator (URL) for accessing the Web application, location information of the terminal, and an internet protocol (IP) address of an access point accessed by the terminal;
• setting, in response to the authentication information being determined valid in an authentication process of the authentication information, the terminal to be capable of performing the Push-to-Talk communications via the Web application;
• and
• determining, for the terminal set to be capable of executing the Push-to-Talk communications, whether or not the Push-to-Talk communications are permissible based on the authentication process of the authentication information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining, from a terminal, authentication information including a uniform resource locator (URL) for accessing the Web application, location information of the terminal, and an internet protocol (IP) address of an access point accessed by the terminal;
• setting the terminal to be capable of performing the Push-to-Talk communications via the Web application if the authentication information is determined to be valid in an authentication process of the authentication information;
• and
• determining, for the terminal set to be capable of executing the Push-to-Talk communications, whether or not the Push-to-Talk communications are permissible based on the authentication process of the authentication information.
