Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a plurality of network interfaces;

a storage area that saves data, in which an attribute defining a network interface permitted as an output path of the saved data is associated with the storage area; and

a change controller that controls a change of the attribute corresponding to a change instruction to change the attribute, in accordance with a state regarding presence/absence of data in the storage area at a time point of receiving the change instruction.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the change controller does not execute a change of the attribute corresponding to the change instruction in a case where the state satisfies a certain condition.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein, in a case where the change instruction is an instruction to change the attribute to indicate that none of the plurality of network interfaces is permitted as the output path, even in a case where the state satisfies the certain condition, a change of the attribute corresponding to the change instruction is executed.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the state satisfies a certain condition, the change controller prohibits transfer of data that is present in the storage area at a time point of receiving the change instruction, and then executes a change of the attribute corresponding to the change instruction.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the state satisfies a certain condition, the change controller evacuates data that is present in the storage area at a time point of receiving the change instruction to a second storage area, and then executes a change of the attribute corresponding to the change instruction.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein, in a case where the state satisfies a certain condition, the change controller newly generates, as the second storage area, a storage area with an attribute indicating that none of the plurality of network interfaces is permitted as the output path or an attribute identical to the attribute associated with the storage area, and evacuates data in the storage area to the second storage area.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein:

the state is a state indicating whether or not there is data saved in the storage area at a time point of receiving the change instruction, and

the certain condition states that there is data in the storage area at a time point of receiving the change instruction.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:

memory that stores, for each item of data saved in the storage area, whether or not the data has been input via any of the plurality of network interfaces, wherein:

the state is a state indicating whether or not there is, in the storage area, data that has been input via any of the network interfaces at a time point of receiving the change instruction, and

the certain condition states that there is, in the storage area, data that has been input via any of the plurality of network interfaces at a time point of receiving the change instruction.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein:

the state is a state indicating whether or not there is, in the storage area, data that satisfies a predetermined important data condition at a time point of receiving the change instruction, and

the certain condition states that there is, in the storage, area, data that satisfies the important data condition at a time point of receiving the change instruction.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the change controller changes the attribute in accordance with the change instruction in a case where a person who has given the change instruction is an administrator of the information processing apparatus.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer with a plurality of network interfaces to execute a process, the process comprising:

saving data in a storage area to which an attribute defining a network interface permitted as an output path of the saved data is associated; and

controlling a change of the attribute corresponding to a change instruction to change the attribute, in accordance with a state regarding presence/absence of data in the storage area at a time point of receiving the change instruction.

12. An information processing apparatus comprising:

network interface means;

storage means for saving data, in which an attribute defining a network interface permitted as an output path of the saved data is associated with the storage means; and

change control means for controlling a change of the attribute corresponding to a change instruction to change the attribute, in accordance with a state regarding presence/absence of data in the storage means at a time point of receiving the change instruction.
