Abstract

Disclosed is a mobile terminal apparatus including one or more processors configured to execute a process. The process includes storing content data acquired in a specific mode in a storage, acquiring an address corresponding to authentication information at authentication when the content data are acquired in the specific mode, generating a first mail to which the content data are attached and setting the address in the first mail as a transmission destination, transmitting the generated first mail to the address, and controlling deleting the stored content data and a transmission history of the transmitted first mail.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal apparatus comprising:

a storage configured to store a program;

a display device; and

a processor configured to execute the program to perform a process including;

storing, in the storage, content data acquired in a predetermined mode of the mobile terminal apparatus;

acquiring an address corresponding to authentication information that is input at a time of an authentication when the content data are acquired in the predetermined mode;

generating a first mail to which the content data are attached, to unchangeably set the address acquired by the acquiring as a transmission destination of the first mail without displaying the set address on the display device;

transmitting the first mail, generated by the generating, to the set address; and

controlling deletion of the content data stored in the storage and deletion of a transmission history of the first mail transmitted by the transmitting.

2. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program to perform the process further including:

encrypting the content data stored in the storage,

wherein the generating includes generating the first mail to which the content data encrypted in the encrypting are attached, and

wherein the transmitting includes transmitting a decrypting password for decrypting the content data encrypted by the encrypting to the set address by a second mail that is different from the first mail.

3. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the controlling deletes the content data stored in the storage and deletes the transmission history after transmissions of the first mail and the second mail are completed.

4. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controlling further deletes the set address.

5. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the content data include at least one of image data, video data, and voice data.

6. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a camera device configured to capture and acquire image data or video data,

wherein the storing stores, in the storage, the image data or the video data captured and acquired by the camera device in the predetermined mode.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

storing, in a memory, content data acquired in a predetermined mode;

acquiring an address corresponding to authentication information that is input at a time of an authentication when the content data are acquired in the predetermined mode;

generating a first mail to which the content data are attached, to unchangeably set the address acquired by the acquiring as a transmission destination of the first mail without displaying the set address on a display device;

transmitting the first mail, generated by the generating, to the set address; and

controlling deletion of the content data stored in the memory and deletion of a transmission history of the first mail transmitted by the transmitting.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 7, wherein the program causes the computer to execute the process further comprising:

encrypting the content data stored in the memory,

wherein the generating includes generating the first mail to which the content data encrypted in the encrypting are attached, and

wherein the transmitting includes transmitting a decrypting password for decrypting the content data encrypted by the encrypting to the set address by a second mail that is different from the first mail.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 8, wherein the controlling deletes the content data stored in the memory and deletes the transmission history after transmissions of the first mail and the second mail are completed.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 7, wherein the controlling further deletes the set address.

11. A control method to be implemented in an information processing apparatus that includes a processor, a memory, and a display device, the control method comprising:

storing, by the processor, content data acquired in a predetermined mode of the information processing apparatus in the memory;

acquiring, by the processor, an address corresponding to authentication information that is input at a time of an authentication when the content data are acquired in the predetermined mode;

generating, by the processor, a first mail to which the content data are attached, to unchangeably set the address acquired by the acquiring as a transmission destination of the first mail without displaying the set address on the display device;

transmitting, by the processor, the first mail, generated by the generating, to the set address; and

controlling, by the processor, deletion of the content data stored in the memory and deletion of a transmission history of the first mail transmitted by the transmitting.

12. The control method according to claim 11, further comprising:

encrypting, by the processor, the content data stored in the memory,

wherein the generating includes generating the first mail to which the content data encrypted in the encrypting are attached, and

wherein the transmitting includes transmitting a decrypting password for decrypting the content data encrypted by the encrypting to the set address by a second mail that is different from the first mail.

13. The control method according to claim 12, wherein the controlling deletes the content data stored in the memory and deletes the transmission history after transmissions of the first mail and the second mail are completed.

14. The control method according to claim 11, wherein the controlling further deletes the set address.

15. A mobile terminal apparatus comprising:

a storage configured to store a program;

a display device; and

a processor configured to execute the program to perform a process including;

storing acquired content data in the storage;

acquiring an address corresponding to authentication information that is input at a time of an authentication when the content data are acquired;

generating a mail to which the content data are attached, to unchangeably set the address acquired by the acquiring as a transmission destination of the mail without displaying the set address on the display device;

transmitting the mail, generated by the generating, to the set address; and

controlling deletion of the content data stored in the storage.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

storing, in a memory, content data that are acquired;

acquiring an address corresponding to authentication information that is input at a time of an authentication when the content data are acquired;

generating a mail to which the content data are attached, to unchangeably set the address acquired by the acquiring as a transmission destination of the mail without displaying the set address on a display device;

transmitting the mail, generated by the generating, to the set address; and

controlling deletion of the content data stored in the memory.

17. A control method to be implemented in an information processing apparatus that includes a processor, a memory, and a display device, the control method comprising:

storing, by the processor, content data that are acquired in the memory;

acquiring, by the processor, an address corresponding to authentication information that is input at a time of an authentication when the content data are acquired;

generating, by the processor, a mail to which the content data are attached, to unchangeably set the address acquired by the acquiring as a transmission destination of the mail without displaying the set address on the display device;
