Abstract

The present invention is to provide an identifier storing server and a method of storing identifier that is low-cost and also enables to easily grasp the situation at loss or theft of the portable terminal. The identifier storing server acquires the identifier related to the local network to which the portable terminal 100 is connected, acquires a registration notification associated with the identifier of the portable terminal 100 from the user terminal 200, acquires a connection request transmitted from the portable terminal 100 to the router 300, and transmits an alert notification if judging that the acquired connection request is received from the portable terminal 100 associated with the received registration notification.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An identifier storing server communicatively connected with a plurality of user terminals and with a communication device, the communication device being communicatively connected with one user terminal of the plurality of user terminals, comprising:
an identifier acquisition unit that acquires the identifier of a local network to which the one user terminal is connected; a registration notification acquisition unit that acquires a registration notification associated with the identifier of the one user terminal from a user terminal different from the one user terminal; a connection request acquisition unit that acquires a connection request transmitted from the one user terminal to the communication device; and an alert notification transmitting unit that transmits an alert notification if judging that the acquired connection request is received from the one user terminal associated with the received registration notification.

2 . The identifier storing server according to claim 1 , wherein the alert notification unit notifies the alert notification by email.

3 . The identifier storing server according to claim 1 , wherein the alert notification unit notifies the alert notification by voice.

4 . The identifier storing server according to claim 1 , further comprising a location information acquisition unit that acquires the location information of the communication device, wherein the alert notification unit transmits an alert notification to which the location information is added.

5 . A method for storing identifier, executed by an identifier storing server communicatively connected with a plurality of user terminals and with a communication device, the communication device being communicatively connected with one user terminal of the plurality of the user terminals, comprising the steps of:
acquiring the identifier of a local network to which the one user terminal is connected; acquiring a registration notification associated with the identifier of the one user terminal from a user terminal different from the one user terminal; acquiring a connection request transmitted from the one user terminal to the communication device; and transmitting an alert notification if judging that the acquired connection request is received from the one user terminal associated with the received registration notification.
