Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information processing apparatus is arranged within a communication system that comprises a storage that stores authentication data for authenticating mobile communication terminals and a gateway that accommodates access from a first communication network. The communication system authenticates a mobile communication terminal connected via the first communication network and the gateway, using the authentication data. The information processing apparatus comprises a controller that relays communications from the mobile communication terminal to one or more security apparatuses based on information related to the authentication.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An information processing apparatus that is arranged within a communication system that comprises a storage that stores authentication data for authenticating mobile communication terminals and a gateway that accommodates access from a first communication network, and authenticates a mobile communication terminal connected via the first communication network and the gateway, using the authentication data, the information processing apparatus comprising: a controller that relays communications from the mobile communication terminal to one or more security apparatuses based on information related to the authentication. 2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information related to the authentication includes an identifier of the mobile communication terminal. 3 . The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the controller acquires binding data that associates the mobile communication terminal with a security apparatus to which communications from the mobile communication terminal are to be relayed, and determines the security apparatus to which communications from the mobile communication terminal are relayed, based on the binding data. 4 . The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controller relays communications from the mobile communication terminal to the one or more security apparatuses when destination of communications from the mobile communication terminal is not an apparatus within the communication system. 5 . A communication system comprising: a storage that stores authentication data for authenticating mobile communication terminals, a gateway that accommodates access from a first communication network, and a controller configured to perform: authenticating a mobile communication terminal connected via the first communication network and the gateway, using the authentication data; and relaying communications from the mobile communication terminal to one or more security apparatuses based on information related to the authentication.
