Abstract: A smart entry system includes a central device, and a peripheral device configured to transmit a radio wave to the central device. The central device includes: a communication unit configured to receive the radio wave; a measurement unit configured to measure a value regarding the radio wave; and a determination unit configured to evaluate validity of the radio wave, based on a plurality of kinds of measurement results obtained by the measurement unit, and on a criterion based on distribution of the respective measurement results acquired in advance, and determine whether or not to permit entry, based on a result of the evaluation.

Abstract: An in-vehicle device to be mounted in a vehicle, includes: a processing unit configured to generate first key deriving information according to a first scheme, generate first key information by using the first key deriving information, and encrypt a packet by using the first key information; and a communication unit configured to transmit the packet encrypted by the processing unit to another vehicle. After encrypting the packet by using the first key information, the processing unit generates second key deriving information according to a second scheme that has a key information generating time shorter than that of the first scheme, generates second key information by using the second key deriving information, and encrypts a packet to be newly transmitted by the communication unit, by using the second key information instead of the first key information.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor configured to execute a process including: acquiring purchase propriety information and purchase condition information of software by unit of an account or a device before receiving a purchase request of the software, determining propriety of the purchase request based on the acquired purchase propriety information and purchase condition information when the purchase request of the software is received, and transmitting the purchase request when the purchase request is determined to be valid.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus detects the presence of specific software on the information processing apparatus utilizing a first detection condition, in which the specific software was judged to be installed on the information processing apparatus in prior detection utilizing the first detection condition, and the first detection condition is generated by any one of a plurality of generating rules on detection conditions for software. If this detection utilizing the first detection condition fails, the information processing apparatus detects the specific software utilizing a second detection condition that is one of a plurality of detection conditions generated by the plurality of generating rules and is different from the first detection condition.

Abstract: A method includes accepting specifying of target software as a target of authentication of a license, determining whether a monitoring target process associated with the target software is activated based on information managing a plurality of activated processes, the monitoring target process being a process that executes installation of the target software, determining whether a specific display area corresponding to the monitoring target process is selected based on a selection state of each of a plurality of display areas each corresponding to each of the plurality of activated processes when it is determined that the monitoring target process is activated, acquiring entered information entered by an entry device when it is determined that the specific display area corresponding to the monitoring target process is selected, and carrying out matching between the entered information and license information that is acquired from a memory and is associated with the target software.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus detects the presence of specific software on the information processing apparatus utilizing a first detection condition, in which the specific software was judged to be installed on the information processing apparatus in prior detection utilizing the first detection condition, and the first detection condition is generated by any one of a plurality of generating rules on detection conditions for software. If this detection utilizing the first detection condition fails, the information processing apparatus detects the specific software utilizing a second detection condition that is one of a plurality of detection conditions generated by the plurality of generating rules and is different from the first detection condition.

Abstract: A map generation apparatus includes a memory, and a processor configured to execute a procedure, the procedure including obtaining position data indicating positions of the terminal device during moving of the terminal device, and read-position data indicating a position at which the terminal device has read data from a recording medium during the moving of the terminal device, storing the position data and the read-position data in the memory, generating a map including the positions indicated by the position data, and displaying that an area on a side of the read-position data among areas set based on a path of the positions indicated by the position data is an area of disposition target of the recording medium, on the generated map.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a processor configured to execute a process including: acquiring purchase propriety information and purchase condition information of software by unit of an account or a device before receiving a purchase request of the software, determining propriety of the purchase request based on the acquired purchase propriety information and purchase condition information when the purchase request of the software is received, and transmitting the purchase request when the purchase request is determined to be valid.

Abstract: A backup apparatus which backs up data of a management device which manages a plurality of client devices based on information from agents which correspondingly operate on the plurality of client devices, the backup apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: generate a data block related with a specific agent, from information received from the specific agent and information on a client device in which the specific agent of the asset management device operates, for each of the plurality of agents, calculates arrangement appropriateness of the plurality of client devices based on the information received from the plurality of agents, and distribute and arranges the plurality of data blocks to the plurality of client devices in accordance with the arrangement appropriateness of the plurality of client devices.
