INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, SECURITY METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING SECURITY PROGRAM
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a key information table memory that stores, in a key information table, key information including first identification information identifying a first nearby device communicating with the information processing apparatus;
a communication unit that communicates with a second nearby device present at a location where the second nearby device is communicable with the information processing apparatus;
a nearby device information retrieval unit that retrieves nearby device information including second identification information identifying the second nearby device that has communicated with the information processing apparatus;
a movement halt detector that detects a movement status of the information processing apparatus;
a functional limitation determiner that determines whether to limit execution of a process of a function of the information processing apparatus, based on the key information of the first nearby device, the nearby device information of the second nearby device, and the movement status; and
a functional limitation executer that controls the execution of the process based on the determination results.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a key information table memory for storing, in a key information table, key information including first identification information identifying a first nearby device communicating with the information processing apparatus, a communication unit for communicating with a second nearby device present at a location where the second nearby device is communicable with the information processing apparatus, a nearby device information retrieval unit for retrieving nearby device information including second identification information identifying the second nearby device, a movement halt detector for detecting a movement status of the information processing apparatus, a functional limitation determiner for determining, based on the key information, the nearby device information, and/or the movement status, whether to limit execution of a process of a function of the information processing apparatus and a functional limitation executer for controlling the execution of the process based on the determination results.

19. A security method executed by a computer, the security method comprising:
-
storing, on a key information table memory, key information including first identification information of a first nearby device communicating with the computer; communicating with a second nearby device present at a location where the second nearby device is communicable with the computer; retrieving nearby device information including second identification information identifying the second nearby device that has communicated with the computer; detecting a movement status of the computer; determining whether to limit execution of a process of a function of the computer, based on the key information of the first nearby device, the nearby device information of the second nearby device, and the movement status; and controlling the execution of the process based on the determination results.

20. A storage medium storing a security program that causes a computer to execute:
-
storing, on a key information table memory, key information including first identification information of a first nearby device communicating with the computer; communicating with a second nearby device present at a location where the second nearby device is communicable with the computer; retrieving nearby device information including second identification information identifying the second nearby device that has communicated with the computer; detecting a movement status of the computer; determining whether to limit execution of a process of a function of the computer, based on the key information of the first nearby device, the nearby device information of the second nearby device, and the movement status; and controlling the execution of the process based on the determination results.
