Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing method comprising the steps of:

• specifying a terminal type of a terminal connected through a network based on a first request requesting Web information, said first request sent from the terminal through the network, and generating reference Web information that includes a reference path created by adding terminal type information showing the specified terminal type to a path indicated in the first request for accessing the Web information and that allows the terminal automatically accesses to the reference path;
• and
• sending the reference Web information to the terminal as a response with respect to the first request, and receiving a second request for requesting the Web information specified by the reference path.

An information processing apparatus connectable to a terminal through a network, said information processing apparatus comprising:

• a reference Web information generating part specifying a language used at the terminal based on a first request requesting Web information, said first request sent from the terminal through the network, and generating reference Web information that includes a reference path created by adding language information showing the specified language to a path indicated in the first request for accessing the Web information and that allows the terminal to automatically accesses to the reference path;
• and
• a communicating part sending the reference Web information to the terminal as a response with respect to the first request, and receiving a second request for requesting the Web information specified by the reference path.

An information processing apparatus connectable to a terminal through a network, said information processing apparatus comprising:

• a profile reference Web information generating part specifying a profile requested by a profile change request requesting to change the profile with respect to Web information displayed at the terminal, said profile change request sent from the terminal through the network, and generating profile reference Web information that includes a profile reference path created by setting profile information showing the specified profile to a path for accessing the Web information and that allows the terminal to automatically accesses to the profile reference path;
• a communicating part sending the profile reference Web information to the terminal as a response with respect to the profile change request, and receiving an auto-accessed request for requesting the Web information suitable for the profile by the profile reference path;
• an authenticating part authenticating the user of the terminal when the auto-accessed request is received and allowing to provide the Web information suitable for the profile indicated in the profile reference path based on an authentication result.
