Abstract: Provided is an information processing apparatus including: a locking control unit configured to execute a first process of processes for causing a locking unit to unlock, on the basis of detection of access of a first communication terminal; and a detection unit configured to detect an unlocking request by a user of the first communication terminal. The locking control unit executes a second process of the processes for causing the locking unit to unlock, when the unlocking request is detected and the first process is completed.

Abstract: A first optical connector, a second optical connector, a first lock member, and a second lock member are equipped. The first optical connector is attached to an electronic device, and corresponds to a receptacle. The second optical connector is attached to an end an optical cable, is fittable to the first optical connector, and corresponds to a plug. The first lock member is attached to the electronic device at a position corresponding to the first optical connector not to prevent fitting of the second optical connector to the first optical connector. The second lock member is attached to the optical cable at a position corresponding to the second optical connector not to prevent fitting of the second optical connector to the first optical connector. The second lock member is fittable to the first lock member in a state of fitting between the first optical connector and the first optical connector.
