| 20090240924 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PRODUCT - An information processing device disclosed includes a plurality of executing units for executing various processes. The information processing device and method thereof acquire setting information that indicates an operating condition with respect to each executing unit from information an operation of a main process executed by the plurality of executing units, and sets an operating state of each of the executing units based on the acquired setting information. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100024040 | COMMUNICATION CONTROL DEVICE, DATA SECURITY SYSTEM, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER PRODUCT - A communication control device configured to access an information processing apparatus in which data is stored. The device and method acquires an operational condition of an information processing apparatus, and notifies the information processing apparatus of a security command for causing the information processing apparatus to execute a security process on the data in an event that an operational condition is activated and, in an event that the operational condition is a standby mode, a hibernate mode, or a shutdown mode, notifies the information processing apparatus of an activation command for activating the information processing apparatus, and notifies of a security command for causing the information processing apparatus to execute a security process on the data. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100024041 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM HAVING A PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus and method configured to access multiple external storage medium. The apparatus and method detect theft or loss (or otherwise unauthorized use) of the information processing apparatus with respect to data stored in multiple storage areas, back up the data to the storage medium, and record, in association with each of the storage medium, an easiness degree indicating how easily a user accesses the storage medium. The apparatus and method calculate erasure priority rankings of the data stored in a manner that an erasure priority ranking is higher as an easiness degree is higher, record the calculated erasure priority rankings in association with each of the multiple storage areas, and erases the data stored in the multiple storage areas in accordance with the erasure priority rankings when detecting theft or loss of the information processing apparatus. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20100077485 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PRODUCT - An apparatus having a communication section operable to communicate with a central apparatus, and a storage control section operable to control writing onto, and reading from, a storage medium. The apparatus receives a control command transmitted from the central apparatus. The apparatus, if the received command is a security command, acquires process information indicating information on the security process. The apparatus transmits the process information acquired to the central apparatus. The apparatus, if the received command is a security command, executes the security process. The apparatus, if the received command is an inquiry command, acquires the status of the execution of the security process. The apparatus transmits the security process execution status acquired to the central apparatus. The apparatus, if the execution of the security process is completed, transmits the fact that the execution of the security process in the storage medium is completed to the central apparatus. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100159881 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD - A method for controlling a stop and a recovery of a communication function for performing external communication, the method includes acquiring an operation condition of a main body of the computer while the communication function is stopped, determining whether the communication function is recoverable based on the acquired operation condition, and limiting use of the main body of the computer when the communication function is determined to be recoverable. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161772 | CONTROL ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM HAVING A COMPUTER PROGRAM - A control assistance system and method include transmitting identification information and part identification information of a managed apparatus, storing identification information of the managed apparatus and the part identification information in a correspondence manner, specifying a combination of parts of the managed apparatus based on a correspondence between the identification information received from the managed apparatus and the identification information stored in the database, writing the received identification information in the database according to the specified combination of parts of the managed apparatus and transmitting a signal of restricting an operation to the specified managed apparatus. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100169554 | TERMINAL APPARATUS - A terminal apparatus acquires setting information for controlling whether a storage area held by the non-volatile storage medium is to be used or not, from an external apparatus connected via a network, when the terminal apparatus is activated. The terminal apparatus updates area definition information defining the structure of storage areas in the non-volatile storage medium so that the storage area the use of which is restricted is in a state which cannot be recognized by the operating system, if the acquired setting information indicates that the use of the storage area is restricted. The terminal apparatus performs activation processing of the operating system after the update processing of the area definition information ends, if the acquired setting information indicates that the use of the storage area is restricted. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100232607 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, CONTENT PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM HAVING CONTENT PROCESSING PROGRAM - An information processing device and method include storing encrypted content, storing a key for decrypting the encrypted content stored, decrypting the encrypted content stored using the key, storing a deletion table storing information indicating whether or not the key stored is to be deleted when a transition from an operating state to one of other states is made, the information corresponding to the other states, and checking the information in the deletion table corresponding to the one of the other states and deleting the key when the information indicates that the key is to be deleted. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110087748 | DATA PROCESSOR AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A non-transitory computer-readable medium for recording a program allowing a computer to execute: determining whether first identification information of the computer matches with second identification information stored in the computer-readable medium connected to the computer; executing a process stored in the computer-readable medium upon the determining that the first identification information and the second identification information do not match; selecting a communication unit from one or a plurality of communication units included in the computer; and transmitting third information regarding the execution of the process using the selected communication unit. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110088084 | INFORMATION STORAGE APPARATUS, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND METHOD - A storage apparatus includes: an access acceptance unit to receive an access request associated with an access from a host apparatus; an authentication processing unit to judge whether the access is authenticated or unauthenticated; a storage unit including a first area that stores first data and a second area that stores second data serving as a substitute for the first data; a data switching unit to allow, when the access acceptance unit judges the access as authenticated, the access to the first area and switches the access to the second area in a case where the authentication processing unit judges the access as unauthenticated, the access to the second data in the second area being provided to disguise that the access was unauthenticated. | 04-14-2011 |
