  • Patent number: 9509779
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes plural communication interfaces, a storing unit, an acquisition unit, and a selection unit. The plural communication interfaces are connected to plural communication networks that are independent of each other, and receive data from a terminal connected to the communication network and transmit data to the terminal on the basis of positional information that indicates a position of the terminal on the communication network. The storing unit stores correlation information including correlation between a user of the terminal at the time when data are received from the terminal and one of the plural communication interfaces that is used. The acquisition unit acquires user information that indicates a user that commands transmission of data to the terminal. The selection unit selects one of the plural communication interfaces on the basis of the correlation information and the user information.

  • Patent number: 7979467
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a lock section, a creation section, a transmission section, a reception section, and a release section. The lock section disables an authorization function of the information processing device under a given condition. The creation section creates a first lock release file that is capable of releasing the authorization function disabled by the lock section. The transmission section transmits the first lock release file to an information management device. The reception section receives a second lock release file, which is based on the first lock release file, from the information management device. The release section tries to enable the authorization function of the information processing device when the second lock release file is determined to be valid.
