Abstract

There is provided an information terminal apparatus including a detecting unit that detects whether authentication information has been input within a given period of time or not, a determining unit that determines whether the authentication information agrees with given authentication information or not, a processing unit that performs processing in a first mode if the authentication information is not detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time or if the authentication information is detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time but the determining unit determines that it does not agree with the given authentication information, and a log processing unit that memorizes/stores operation history information operated while the processing in the first mode is being performed.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

detecting unit for detecting whether authentication information is inputted within a given period of time;

a determining unit determining whether the authentication information agrees with given authentication information or not;

a processing unit for processing in a first mode when the authentication information is not detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time or if the authentication information detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time does not correspond to the given authentication information; and

a log processing unit for storing information of a history of operation performed in the first mode.

2. The information apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a display wherein a notification urging a user to input the authentication is not display on the screen of the display during the given period of time.

3. The information apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a communication interface unit for establishing communication with a destination through a given address; and

a transmission unit for transmitting to the destination the information of operation stored in the log processing unit.

4. The information apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processing unit processes in a second mode when the authentication information agrees with the given authentication information.

5. The information apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a storage for storing a first and a second information, the second not for using in the second mode;

a counter for counting the number of times of events in which the authentication information is not detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time or the authentication information detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time does not correspond to the given authentication information; and

a security unit for deleting or updating the second information when the number of the times equals to or increases more than the given number of the times.

7. The method for information processing according to 5, further comprising:

establishing communication with a destination through a given address; and

transmitting to the destination the information of operation stored in the log processing unit.

8. The method for information processing according to 5, wherein the processing in second mode different from the first mode when the authentication information agrees with the given authentication information.

6. A method for information processing comprising:

detecting whether authentication information is inputted within a given period of time;

determining whether the authentication information agrees with given authentication information or not;

processing in a first mode when the authentication information is not detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time or if the authentication information detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time does not correspond to the given authentication information; and

storing information of a history of operation performed in the first mode.

9. A computer readable medium storing method for information processing comprising:

detecting whether authentication information is inputted within a given period of time;

determining whether the authentication information agrees with given authentication information or not;

processing in a first mode when the authentication information is not detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time or if the authentication information detected by the detecting unit within the given period of time does not correspond to the given authentication information; and

storing information of a history of operation performed in the first mode.
