  • Publication number: 20230308831
    Abstract: A registration unit registers pieces of identification information of user terminals possessed by users, respectively, as a group. A position information acquisition unit acquires pieces of position information of the plurality of user terminals registered as the group. A reaching detection unit detects, from position information of a first user terminal possessed by one user, that the one user among the plurality of users registered as the group has reached a position where content information is provided. When the reaching is detected, a distance calculation unit calculates a distance between the first user terminal and another user terminal. In a case where the reaching is detected, a provision control unit provides the content information to the first user terminal, and controls provision of the content information to another user terminal possessed by another user of the group based on the calculated distance.

  • Publication number: 20230252150
    Abstract: In a software correcting apparatus, a specification unit specifies a plurality of code blocks contained in a target software. A checking unit determines, for each of the specified code blocks, whether or not the specified code block is a code block that is possibly a backdoor, and specifies a code block that is determined to be possibly a backdoor as a backdoor block. A correction processing unit performs an execution-disabling process or a putting-under-surveillance process on the backdoor block contained in the target software. The execution-disabling process is a process for changing the state of the backdoor block into a state in which it cannot be executed. The putting-under-surveillance process is a process for handling the backdoor block as a subject that should be monitored when it is executed.
