Abstract

There is provided an information processing device having: a request acceptance portion that accepts a content access request from a mobile terminal; a location identification portion that identifies a location where the mobile terminal exists; a template identification portion that identifies a template configured to be accessed by the mobile terminal; and an authentication portion that decides whether to allow the accepted content access request based on the identified location, the identified template, and a time zone in which the access request from the mobile terminal is accepted.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a request acceptance portion that accepts a content access request from a mobile terminal;

a location identification portion that identifies a location where the mobile terminal exists;

a template identification portion that identifies a template configured to be accessed by the mobile terminal; and

an authentication portion that decides whether to allow the accepted content access request based on the identified location, the identified template, and a time zone in which the access request from the mobile terminal is accepted.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an authentication information storage portion that stores a location extent, a period, and template identification information as authentication information, wherein the authentication portion decides whether to allow the content access request by using the authentication information stored in the authentication information storage portion.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2, further comprising:

a content storage portion that stores a content created using the template in condition where the content can be accessed by the mobile terminal which is made accessible by the authentication portion; and

a content deletion portion that, if a period stored in the authentication information storage portion as one of authentication information pieces elapses, deletes the content created using the template compatible with template identification information, which is one of authentication information pieces, from the content storage portion.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3, further comprising:

a registration decision portion that compares authentication information whose registration is newly requested and the authentication information stored in the authentication information storage portion and, based on results of the comparison, decides whether to register the newly registration-requested authentication information in the authentication information storage portion.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4 further comprising:

a group management portion that manages, as a group, identification information of a plurality of users who make a content access request by using the same authentication information, wherein;

if newly registration-requested authentication information is similar to any one of the authentication information pieces stored in the authentication information storage portion by at least specified conditions, the registration decision portion allows registering the newly registration-requested authentication information as a sub-group of the group compatible with similar authentication information; and

the group management portion manages authentication information of the sub-group in condition where it is correlated with the relevant group.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5, wherein if an authentication information registration request is made newly by a mobile terminal, the registration decision portion stores newly registration-requested authentication information in the authentication information storage portion on condition that the requesting mobile terminal exists in a location extent contained in the newly registration-requested authentication information.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6, further comprising:

a connection portion that, if a predetermined application program is already activated in a mobile terminal and authentication information stored in the authentication information storage portion is partially satisfied, tries to establish network connection with the mobile terminal.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7, further comprising:

a privilege setting portion that sets to the mobile terminal belonging to the same group as the other mobile terminal whose authentication information is registered a privilege on the content created in the group in accordance with a distance between the mobile terminal and the other mobile terminal in the same group.

9. The information processing device according to claim 8, further comprising:

a content distribution portion that, if the period stored in the authentication information storage portion as one of the authentication information pieces elapses, distributes the content created in the group to the mobile terminal belonging to the group compatible with the authentication information.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon a computer program that causes a computer to perform a method comprising:

accepting a content access request from a mobile terminal;

identifying a location where the mobile terminal exists;

identifying a template configured to be accessed by the mobile terminal; and

deciding whether to allow the accepted content access request based on the identified location, the identified template, and a time zone in which the content access request from the mobile terminal is accepted.

11. An information processing system comprising a mobile terminal and an information processing device, wherein:

the information processing device comprises;

a request acceptance portion that accepts a content access request from the mobile terminal;

a location identification portion that identifies a location where the mobile terminal exists;

a template identification portion that identifies a template configured to be accessed by the mobile terminal; and

an authentication portion that decides whether to allow the accepted content access request based on the identified location, the identified template, and a time zone in which the content access request from the mobile terminal is accepted,

wherein the mobile terminal edits contents by using the template.
