INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT EXECUTES ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORITY REQUIRING PROCESS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18453386 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT EXECUTES ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORITY REQUIRING PROCESS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for controlling an information processing apparatus to appropriately execute processes related to program installation and activation, regardless of the user account type.
- The method involves executing a first process for installing a program when an operation is received from a predetermined account in a specific OS environment.
- A second process is executed for activating a program for installing another program when an operation is received from the predetermined account in a different OS environment.
- A third process is executed to install the second program when the program for installation is activated and the administrator authority requiring process is permitted.
- Potential Applications:**
- This technology can be used in software installation processes to ensure proper execution based on user account and OS environment.
- Problems Solved:**
- Ensures that program installation and activation processes are carried out appropriately based on user account type and OS environment. - Helps prevent unauthorized access to administrator authority requiring processes.
- Benefits:**
- Simplifies the process of installing and activating programs on information processing apparatus. - Enhances security by controlling access to administrator authority requiring processes based on user account type and OS environment.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for controlling an information processing apparatus having an OS, capable of appropriately executing a process related to a program for executing an administrator authority requiring process. The method comprising: when receiving an operation from a predetermined account in a predetermined OS environment, executing a first process for installing a first program regardless whether the predetermined account is an administrator account or a non-administrator account; when receiving an operation from the predetermined account in an OS environment which is not the predetermined OS environment, executing a second process for activating a third program for installing a second program regardless whether the predetermined account is the administrator account or the non-administrator account; and executing a third process for installing the second program when the third program is activated and execution of an administrator authority requiring process is permitted.
