Abstract

An information management apparatus includes a memory and a processor configured to execute a process. The process includes registering schedule information entered by a user, storing the registered schedule information in the memory, obtaining current environmental information from a mobile terminal of the user, and when the registered schedule information is changed, determining whether the user of the mobile terminal is a genuine user based on the current environmental information and past environmental information obtained from past schedule information stored in the memory.

Claims (25)

1. An information management apparatus, comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to execute a process including

registering schedule information including action information indicating a destination of a user, time information associated with the action information, and location information indicating a geographical location of the destination,

storing the registered schedule information in the memory,

obtaining, from a mobile terminal of the user, current environmental information including location information indicating a geographical location of the mobile terminal, and

when the registered schedule information is changed,

comparing the location information in the current environmental information with a tolerable range of location information to obtain a value indicating a probability that the user is the genuine user, the tolerable range of location information being determined based on a reference value that is obtained based on location information included in past environmental information obtained from past schedule information stored in the memory, and

determining whether the user is the genuine user based on the obtained value.

2. The information management apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to change the registered schedule information when it is determined that the user is the genuine user.

3. The information management apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to limit a service available to the user according to the registered schedule information when it is determined that the user is not the genuine user.

4. A method performed by an information management apparatus, the method comprising:

registering schedule information including action information indicating a destination of a user, time information associated with the action information, and location information indicating a geographical location of the destination;

storing the registered schedule information in a memory;

obtaining, from a mobile terminal of the user, current environmental information including location information indicating a geographical location of the mobile terminal; and

when the registered schedule information is changed,

comparing the location information in the current environmental information with a tolerable range of location information to obtain a value indicating a probability that the user is the genuine user, the tolerable range of location information being determined based on a reference value that is obtained based on location information included in past environmental information obtained from past schedule information stored in the memory, and

determining whether the user is the genuine user based on the obtained value.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

registering schedule information including action information indicating a destination of a user, time information associated with the action information, and location information indicating a geographical location of the destination;

storing the registered schedule information in a memory;

obtaining, from a mobile terminal of the user, current environmental information including location information indicating a geographical location of the mobile terminal; and

when the registered schedule information is changed,

comparing the location information in the current environmental information with a tolerable range of location information to obtain a value indicating a probability that the user is the genuine user, the tolerable range of location information being determined based on a reference value that is obtained based on location information included in past environmental information obtained from past schedule information stored in the memory, and

determining whether the user is the genuine user based on the obtained value.
