Abstract
With respect to control on starting communication between communication terminals, the present service providing system uses a mode management database used for a login process and admits starting communication when the terminal ID of a source of communication and the terminal ID of a communication partner contain a common user ID, thereby being able to control starting communication after security is ensured without bothering to build an address list.
Claims14
A service providing system that provides a service to a communication terminal according to a request of the communication terminal, the communication terminal having terminal identification information used when requesting logging in the service providing system, the service providing system comprising:
- a management unit configured to manage given terminal identification information for identifying a given communication terminal and communication mode information in association with each other, the given terminal identification information containing integrally a part specified as a part to be authenticated and a part specified as a part not to be authenticated, the part to be authenticated being used to authenticate a user of the given communication terminal, according to a login request from a communication terminal;
- a receiver configured to receive, from a first communication terminal that is identified by first terminal identification information that contains integrally a part to be authenticated and a part not to be authenticated, a request to start communication with a second communication terminal that is identified by second terminal identification information that contains integrally a part to be authenticated and a part not to be authenticated;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit, when the second terminal identification information being managed by the management unit contains the same part to be authenticated as the part to be authenticated contained in the first terminal identification information, a request to start communication with the first communication terminal to the second communication terminal in response to the receiving of the request to start communication,
- wherein
- when the second terminal identification information does not contain the same part to be authenticated as the part to be authenticated contained in the first terminal identification information, the transmitter does not transmit the request to start communication with the first communication terminal to the second communication terminal.
A service providing method that is executed by a service providing system that provides a service to a communication terminal in response to a request of the communication terminal, the communication terminal having terminal identification information used when requesting logging in the service providing system,
- wherein
- the service providing system comprises a management unit that manages given terminal identification information for identifying a given communication terminal and communication mode information in association with each other, the given terminal identification information containing integrally a part specified as a part to be authenticated and a part specified as a part not to be authenticated, the part to be authenticated being used to authenticate a user of the given communication terminal according to a login request from a communication terminal,
- the service providing system executes:
- receiving, from a first communication terminal that is identified by first terminal identification information that contains integrally a part to be authenticated and a part not to be authenticated, a request to start communication with a second communication terminal that is identified by second terminal identification information that contains integrally a part to be authenticated and a part not to be authenticated;
- and
- transmitting, when the second terminal identification information being managed by the management unit contains the same part to be authenticated as the part to be authenticated contained in the first terminal identification information, a request to start communication with the first communication terminal to the second communication terminal in response to the receiving of the request to start communication, and when the second terminal identification information does not contain the same part to be authenticated as the part to be authenticated contained in the first terminal identification information, the transmitting includes a process of not transmitting the request to start communication with the first communication terminal to the second communication terminal.
