Abstract
An information processing device includes an interface configured to receive authentication information from an electronic device. The device also includes circuitry configured to identify an execution range of an association operation program executed by the electronic device, the execution range being indicative of an authentication of an association between the electronic device and another electronic device.
Claims21
An information processing device comprising:
- an interface configured to
- receive authentication information from an electronic device;
- and
- circuitry configured to
- determine whether or not a part or full of operations of an association operation program is restricted based on the authentication information, the association operation program being a program executed by the electronic device regarding an association between the electronic device and another electronic device, wherein
- the interface is further configured to
- transmit a determination result of whether or not a part or full of operations of the association operation program is restricted to the electronic device such that the electronic device can perform, based on the determination result, the association operation program with or without a restriction of the operations of the association operation program;
- and
- receive log information from the electronic device that includes a log of the association operation program having been executed by the electronic device between the another device, and
- the circuitry is further configured to generate payment information based on the received log information.
An information processing system comprising:
- an information management device including
- an interface configured to receive authentication information from an electronic device, and
- circuitry configured to
- determine whether or not a part or full of operations of an association operation program is restricted based on the authentication information, the association operation program being a program executed by the electronic device regarding an association between the electronic device and another electronic device, wherein
- the interface is further configured to
- transmit a determination result of whether or not a part or full of operations of the association operation program is restricted to the electronic device such that the electronic device can perform, based on the determination result, the association operation program with or without a restriction of the operations of the association operation program;
- and
- receive log information from the electronic device that includes a log of the association operation program having been executed by the electronic device between the another device, and
- the circuitry is further configured to generate payment information based on the received log information;
- and
- an information processing device configured to
- receive description information regarding the electronic device and the another electronic device;
- and
- communicate with the electronic device and the another electronic device and send the association operation program to the electronic device that configures the electronic device to realize an association operation between the electronic device and the another electronic device.
An information processing method comprising:
- receiving via an interface authentication information from an electronic device;
- determining with circuitry whether or not a part or full of operations of an association operation program is restricted based on the authentication information, the association operation program being a program executed by the electronic device regarding an authentication of an association between the electronic device and another electronic device;
- transmitting via the interface a determination result of whether or not a part or full of operations of the association operation program is restricted to the electronic device such that the electronic device can perform, based on the determination result, the association operation program with or without a restriction of the operations of the association operation program;
- receiving via the interface log information from the electronic device that includes a log of the association operation program having been executed by the electronic device between the another device:
- and
- generating with the circuitry payment information based on the received log information.
A non-transitory computer readable storage device including instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to execute an information processing method, the method comprising:
- receiving via an interface authentication information from an electronic device;
- determining with circuitry whether or not a part or full of operations of an association operation program is restricted based on the authentication information, the association operation program being a program executed by the electronic device regarding an authentication of an association between the electronic device and another electronic device;
- transmitting via the interface a determination result of whether or not a part or full of operations of the association operation program is restricted to the electronic device such that the electronic device can perform, based on the determination result, the association operation program with or without a restriction of the operations of the association operation program;
- receiving via the interface log information from the electronic device that includes a log of the association operation program having been executed by the electronic device between the another device;
- and
- generating with the circuitry payment information based on the received log information.
