Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes memory and a processor configured to, when conversation information is transmitted and received between plural users, and conversation information that one of the plural users tries to send includes information regarding an external service, acquire user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the service, and inhibit transmission of the conversation information when the acquired user information includes information that identifies the user.

Claims (43)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

memory; and

a processor configured to

when conversation information is transmitted and received between a plurality of users, and conversation information that one of the plurality of users tries to send includes information regarding an external service, acquire user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the service, and

inhibit transmission of the conversation information when the acquired user information includes information that identifies the user,

wherein the memory stores information that identifies each user who transmits and receives conversation information to and from another user, and

wherein, when user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the external service does not match information that is stored in the memory and that identifies an individual, the processor transmits the conversation information to a specified recipient.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the memory stores information that identifies each user who transmits and receives conversation information to and from another user, and

wherein, when user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the external service matches at least part of information that is stored in the memory and that identifies an individual, the processor inhibits transmission of the conversation information.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when the information regarding the service included in conversation information to be transmitted is information regarding an account on an external social networking service for which registration using a real name is a prerequisite, the processor inhibits transmission of the conversation information without acquiring user information that is registered in association with the account information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, when a character string of user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the service, which is included in conversation information to be transmitted, represents the user's name stored in the memory, the processor inhibits transmission of the conversation information.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when the information regarding the service included in conversation information to be transmitted is information regarding an account on an external social networking service, and the account information is set to private on the social networking service, the processor transmits the conversation information to a specified recipient.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, when acquired user information includes information that identifies the user, the processor asks the user whether to cancel transmission of the conversation information, and when the user inputs an instruction to perform the transmission, the processor transmits the conversation information to a specified recipient.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, when acquired user information includes information that identifies the user, the processor asks the user whether to cancel transmission of the conversation information, and when the user inputs an instruction to perform the transmission, the processor transmits the conversation information to a specified recipient.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein, when acquired user information includes information that identifies the user, the processor asks the user whether to cancel transmission of the conversation information, and when the user inputs an instruction to perform the transmission, the processor transmits the conversation information to a specified recipient.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein, when acquired user information includes information that identifies the user, the processor asks the user whether to cancel transmission of the conversation information, and when the user inputs an instruction to perform the transmission, the processor transmits the conversation information to a specified recipient.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein, when acquired user information includes information that identifies the user, the processor asks the user whether to cancel transmission of the conversation information, and when the user inputs an instruction to perform the transmission, the processor transmits the conversation information to a specified recipient.

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

acquiring, when conversation information is transmitted and received between a plurality of users, and conversation information that one of the plurality of users tries to send includes information regarding an external service, user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the service;

inhibiting transmission of the conversation information when the acquired user information includes information that identifies the user;

storing information that identifies each user who transmits and receives conversation information to and from another user, and

when user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the external service does not match information that is stored in memory and that identifies an individual, transmitting the conversation information to a specified recipient.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured for:

in response to receiving an indication of the conversation information that (1) a user of the plurality of users requests to send in the written chat, and (2) includes information regarding an external service:

extracting external account information from the written chat,

accessing an external server of the external service and acquire registered user information of the user, and

determining whether the registered user information matches information identifying the user stored in a local system, and

in response to the registered user information matching the information identifying the user stored in the local system, inhibit transmission of the conversation information when the acquired user information includes information that identifies the user.

13. An information processing apparatus comprising:

memory means; and

means for, when conversation information is transmitted and received between a plurality of users, and conversation information that one of the plurality of users tries to send includes information regarding an external service, acquiring user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the service, and

means for inhibiting transmission of the conversation information when the acquired user information includes information that identifies the user,

wherein the memory means stores information that identifies each user who transmits and receives conversation information to and from another user, and

wherein, when user information that is registered in association with the information regarding the external service does not match information that is stored in the memory means and that identifies an individual, the conversation information is transmitted to a specified recipient.
