Abstract

A server apparatus includes: a communication unit that communicates with a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus; a registration unit that, upon obtaining identification data of a mobile terminal which has been lost from the first communication apparatus, registers the identification data; and an output unit that, upon obtaining position data and the identification data from the second communication apparatus, outputs the position data when the identification data is registered, the position data indicating a position of the second communication apparatus at the time when the second communication apparatus receives the identification data sent from the mobile terminal.

Claims9

Dependent claims

A server apparatus, comprising:

a communication unit that communicates with a first communication apparatus and a second communication apparatus;
a storage unit that, upon obtaining identification data of a mobile terminal which has been lost from the first communication apparatus, stores the identification data and position data, indicating a position of the first communication apparatus at the time when the mobile terminal gets lost, in association with each other, wherein the storage unit, upon obtaining identification data of the mobile terminal which has been lost from the second communication apparatus, stores the obtained identification data and position data, indicating a position of the second communication apparatus at the time when the mobile terminal gets lost, in association with each other;
and
a notification unit that, in a situation where the first position indicated by position data obtained from the first communication apparatus and the second position indicated by position data received from the second communication apparatus are distant from each other by at least a predetermined distance, provides a notification to the first communication apparatus that is set to prohibit display of any position from server apparatus unless the server apparatus performs the notification.

An information processing system, comprising:

a server apparatus;
and
a second communication apparatus, wherein
the server apparatus includes:
a communication unit that communicates with a first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus;
a storage unit that, upon obtaining identification data of a mobile terminal which has been lost from the first communication apparatus, stores the obtained identification data and position data, indicating a position of the first communication apparatus at the time when the mobile terminal gets lost, in association with each other, wherein the storage unit, upon obtaining identification data of the mobile terminal which has been lost from the second communication apparatus, stores the obtained identification data and position data, indicating a position of the second communication apparatus at the time when the mobile terminal gets lost, in association with each other;
a response unit that makes a response to the second communication apparatus with respect to an inquiry request from the second communication apparatus, the response indicating whether the identification data is registered in the server apparatus;
and
a notification unit that, in a situation where the first position indicated by position data obtained from the first communication apparatus and the second position indicated by position data received from the second communication apparatus are distant from each other by at least a predetermined distance, provides a notification to the first communication apparatus that is set to prohibit display of any position from server apparatus unless the server apparatus performs the notification;
and
the second communication apparatus includes:
a reception unit that receives the identification data sent from the mobile terminal;
an inquiry unit that makes an inquiry to the server apparatus about the received identification data;
a measurement unit that measures a position of the second communication apparatus;
and
a transmission unit that, when a response indicating that the identification data is registered is received from the server apparatus, transmits the position of the second communication apparatus at a time of reception of the identification data to the server apparatus in association with the identification data.
