  • Patent number: 10127239
    Abstract: Regarding a management of data stored in a folder to which a permission range of access is set, a data management apparatus is caused to perform (a) a detection region setting step which sets a detection region for detecting a preliminary operation, which is for storing any data into a destination folder which can store data; and (b) a storing limitation step which limits the storing of the data into the destination folder in cases where the preliminary operation is detected at the set detection region, and the access permission range set for the destination folder is different from the access permission range set for a source folder storing the data originally.

  • Publication number: 20100134817
    Abstract: There is described an address setting limitation method and a computer readable storage medium storing a computer executable program, each of which is to be employed in a system in which an address for indicating a data storing/referring destination is settable and makes it possible to improve a usability and convenience of the user while maintaining security aspects of the system. The method to be employed in the system in which an address for indicating a storing/referring destination of a data is settable, includes: displaying a first screen on which a first address established in advance by a manager is displayed; and displaying a second screen from which a user establishes a second address; wherein both the first address and an inputting area, from which the second address to be ranked at a hierarchy level lower than that of the first address is settable, are displayed on the second screen.
