Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium
An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor configured to cause one or more settings to be unchangeable, the one or more settings being required for running software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus, the software having been determined to be operable after installed.
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor configured to:
determine whether current settings of the information processing apparatus satisfy setting conditions required for running software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus; and
when the current settings satisfy the setting conditions, cause one or more of the current settings to be unchangeable.
2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:
cause the one or more settings to be unchangeable in accordance with a type of the software to be installed, the one or more settings being different for each type of the software.
3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
cause the one or more settings to be unchangeable, the one or more settings being at least related to communication, if the software to be installed realizes a service provided by using a communication unit that communicates with an external service.
4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:
cause the one or more settings to be unchangeable, the one or more settings being at least related to authentication, if an authenticating unit needs to be used to execute the software to be installed.
5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the memory stores the one or more settings required for running the software to be installed, and
if the one or more settings required for running the software to be installed are caused to be unchangeable, the processor is configured to:
allow at least one of the one or more settings to be temporarily changed in accordance with a request of a user; and
cause at a predetermined timing the at least one of the one or more settings that has been temporarily changed to be replaced by a corresponding one of the one or more settings stored in the memory.
6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein after usage of a service is finished, the service being provided in the at least one of the one or more settings that has been temporarily changed, the processor is configured to:
cause the at least one of the one or more settings that has been temporarily changed to be replaced by the corresponding one of the one or more settings stored in the memory.
7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein before installation of the software starts, the processor is configured to:
cause the at least one of the one or more settings that has been temporarily changed to be replaced by the corresponding one of the one or more settings stored in the memory.
8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein after the software is installed and before the software is launched, the processor t is configured to:
cause the at least one of the one or more settings that has been temporarily changed to be replaced by the corresponding one of the one or more settings stored in the memory.
9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing on an information processing apparatus, the process comprising:
determining whether current settings of the information processing apparatus satisfy setting conditions required for running software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus; and
when the current settings satisfy the setting conditions, causing one or more settings to be unchangeable, the one or more settings being required for running software to be installed onto the computer, the software having been determined to be operable after installed.
10. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
means for determining whether current settings of the information processing apparatus satisfy setting conditions required for running software to be installed onto the information processing apparatus; and
when the current settings satisfy the setting conditions, means for causing one or more of the settings to be unchangeable.
