Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a decision unit that decides to restrict displaying of a document if an environment surrounding the information processing apparatus is presumed to be vulnerable to information leakage when the displaying of the document is requested and a display controller that, if the decision unit has decided to restrict the displaying, performs control to display the document on condition that attribute information on the document satisfies an exception condition.

Claims (24)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a decision unit that decides to restrict displaying of a document if an environment surrounding the information processing apparatus is presumed to be vulnerable to information leakage when the displaying of the document is requested, and

a display controller that, if the decision unit has decided to restrict the displaying, performs control to display the document on condition that attribute information on the document satisfies an exception condition.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the exception condition includes a condition related to at least one of a priority of the document on job and a delivery of the document.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document in an editable status if the exception condition is satisfied wherein the exception condition is that a time length from when the displaying of the document is requested to the delivery of the document is shorter than a predetermined time length and the priority of the document is equal to or higher than a threshold value.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document within a time limit if the exception condition is satisfied wherein the exception condition is that a time length from when the displaying of the document is requested to the delivery of the document is shorter than a predetermined time length and the priority of the document is lower than a threshold value.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the display controller sets a time length of the displaying of the document in response to a level of a possibility of the information leakage through the environment surrounding the information processing apparatus.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document in an uneditable status if the exception condition is satisfied wherein the exception condition is that a time length from when the displaying of the document is requested to the delivery of the document is equal to or longer than a predetermined time length and the priority of the document is equal to or higher than a threshold value.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller performs control to not display the document if the exception condition is satisfied wherein the exception condition is that a time length from when the displaying of the document is requested to a delivery of the document is equal to or longer than a predetermined time length and a priority of the document is lower than a threshold value.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document in response to a presence or absence of a person surrounding the information processing apparatus.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document if no person is detected surrounding the information processing apparatus.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document if no person is detected surrounding the information processing apparatus.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document if no person is detected surrounding the information processing apparatus.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document if no person is detected surrounding the information processing apparatus.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document if no person is detected surrounding the information processing apparatus.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document if no person is detected surrounding the information processing apparatus.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display controller performs control to display the document if no person is detected surrounding the information processing apparatus.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the display controller performs control to not display the document if a person is detected surrounding the information processing apparatus.

17 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

means for restricting displaying of a document if an environment surrounding the information processing apparatus is presumed to be vulnerable to information leakage when the displaying of the document is requested, and

means for performing, with the restricting of the displaying decided, control to display the document on condition that attribute information on the document satisfies an exception condition.

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

restricting displaying of a document if an environment surrounding the information processing apparatus is presumed to be vulnerable to information leakage when the displaying of the document is requested, and

with the restricting of the displaying decided, performing control to display the document on condition that attribute information on the document satisfies an exception condition.
