Abstract

An information processing device includes an authentication unit, an accepting unit, a communication unit, and a controller. The authentication unit is configured to authenticate an operator. The accepting unit is configured to accept an operation corresponding to authority of the operator authenticated by the authentication unit. The communication unit is configured to communicate with an external device. The controller is configured to, when a state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for a preset time or longer while an operation permitted only to an operator having specific authority is remotely performed from the external device, perform control so as to bring about a state that is not a state where only the operator having the specific authority is able to perform the operation.

Claims (21)

1. An information processing device comprising:

an authentication unit configured to authenticate an operator;

an accepting unit configured to accept an operation corresponding to an authority of the operator authenticated by the authentication unit;

a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device; and

a controller configured to, when a state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for a preset time or longer while the operation, which is permitted to be performed only by the operator having a specific authority, is remotely performed from the external device, perform control so as to bring about a state that is not a state where only the operator having the specific authority is able to perform the operation, by restarting the information processing device,

wherein when the state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for the preset time or longer and when the operator having the specific authority does not change a setting of the information processing device through a setting change mode, the controller does not restart the information processing device; and

when the state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for the preset time or longer, the controller is configured to restart the information processing device only if a setting item that requires the restart to reflect a changed setting is changed.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein when the state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for the preset time or longer, while the operator having the specific authority changes a setting of the information processing device through a setting change mode, the controller restarts the information processing device.

3. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute information processing to control an information processing device, the information processing comprising:

accepting an operation corresponding to an authority of an authenticated operator;

communicating with an external device;

when a state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for a preset time or longer while the operation, which is permitted to be performed only by the operator having a specific authority, is remotely performed from the external device, performing control so as to bring about a state that is not a state where only the operator having the specific authority is able to perform the operation, by restarting the information processing device,

wherein when the state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for the preset time or longer and when the operator having the specific authority does not change a setting of the information processing device through a setting change mode, the computer does not perform control to restart the information processing device; and

when the state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for the preset time or longer, performing control to restart the information processing device only if a setting item that requires the restart to reflect a changed setting is changed.

4. An information processing device comprising:

means for authenticating an operator;

means for accepting an operation corresponding to authority an authority of the authenticated operator;

means for communicating with an external device; and

means for, when a state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for a preset time or longer while the operation, which is permitted to be performed only by the operator having a specific authority, is remotely performed from the external device, performing control so as to bring about a state that is not a state where only the operator having the specific authority is able to perform the operation, by restarting the information processing device,

wherein when the state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for the preset time or longer and when the operator having the specific authority does not change a setting of the information processing device through a setting change mode, control to restart the information processing device is not performed; and

when the state of being unable to communicate with the external device continues for the preset time or longer, means for restarting the information processing device only if a setting item that requires the restart to reflect a changed setting is changed.
