Abstract

A mobile electronic device according to an embodiment has an identifier, a determiner, and a permitter. The identifier identifies the operating system of a mobile terminal to which its own device is connected and determines whether the identified operating system is a prescribed operating system. If the identifier determines that the identified operating system is the prescribed operating system, the determiner performs processing to determine whether or not authentication data held in its own device and authentication data held in an authentication data holding device that can communicate via a network match. If the determiner determines that there is a match, the permitter permits data processing using processing data held in a processing data holding device that can communicate via the network.

Claims (28)

1. A mobile electronic device comprising:

an identifier that identifies an operating system being launched on a mobile terminal to which the mobile electronic device is connected, where the mobile terminal being configured to switch between launching a secured operating system and launching a non-secured operating system lower in security level than the secured operating system, and the identifier determining that the operating system identified is the secured operating system;

a determiner that, in a case that the operating system identified is the secured operating system, performs processing to determine whether or not authentication data held in the mobile electronic device is matched to authentication data held in an authentication data holding device capable of performing communication via network; and

a permitter that, in a case that the determiner determines that there is a match, permits data processing using processing data held in a processing data holding device capable of performing communication via network.

2. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier identifies the operating system of the mobile terminal that had or has an access to the mobile electronic device.

3. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication data holding device and the processing data holding device are implemented by a device.

4. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determiner receives the authentication data sent from the authentication data holding device and the determiner determines whether or not the authentication data received is matched to the authentication data held in the mobile electronic device.

5. The mobile electronic device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determiner transmits the authentication data held in the mobile electronic device and receives information of a result of determining whether or not the authentication data transmitted is matched to the authentication data held in the authentication data holding device.

6. A processing method comprising:

identifying an operating system being launched on a mobile terminal to which a mobile electronic device is connected, where the mobile terminal being configured to switch between launching a secured operating system and launching a non-secured operating system lower in security level than the secured operating system;

determining that the identified operating system is the secured operating system;

performing, in a case that the operating system identified was determined to be the secured operating system, processing to determine whether or not authentication data held in the mobile electronic device is matched to authentication data held in an authentication data holding device capable of performing communication via network; and

permitting, in a case that the determination processing determines that there is a match, data processing using processing data held in a processing data holding device capable of performing communication via network.

7. The processing method according to claim 6 ,

wherein the determining comprises receiving the authentication data held in the authentication data holding device and determining whether or not the authentication data received is matched to the authentication data held in the mobile electronic device.

8. The processing method according to claim 6 ,

wherein the determining comprises transmitting the authentication data held in the mobile electronic device and receiving information of a result of determining whether or not the authentication data transmitted is matched to the authentication data held in the authentication data holding device.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storing medium that stores a program which comprises:

identifying an operating system being launched on a mobile terminal to which a mobile electronic device is connected, where the mobile terminal being configured to switch between launching a secured operating system and launching a non-secured operating system lower in security level than the secured operating system;

determining that the identified operating system is the secured operating system;

performing, in a case that the operating system identified was determined to be the secured operating system, processing to determine whether or not authentication data held in the mobile electronic device is matched to authentication data held in an authentication data holding device capable of performing communication via network; and

permitting, in a case that the determination processing determines that there is a match, data processing using processing data held in a processing data holding device capable of performing communication via network.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storing medium according to claim 9 ,

wherein the determining includes receiving the authentication data held in the authentication data holding device and determining whether or not the authentication data received is matched to the authentication data held in the mobile electronic device.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storing medium according to claim 9 ,

wherein the determining includes transmitting the authentication data held in the mobile electronic device and receiving information of a result of determining whether or not the authentication data transmitted is matched to the authentication data held in the authentication data holding device.
