INFORMATION DISTRIBUTING SERVER DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information distributing server device which can authenticate a user without depending on terminal environment and can manage the valid period of authentication in information service on the Internet. SOLUTION: The device is provided with a request recording part recording a request from an authenticated user, a recording information monitoring part which periodically inspects the record of the request recording part and deletes expired record and an access control part which urges user authentication information when the accessed user is not authenticated and authenticates the user by collating information with management information which is previously registered if the user is authenticated and returns a requested content with respect to the authenticated request. The users are authenticated for the respective contents and the authenticated user is requested to be authenticated again when prescribed time elapses. Consequently, the user is authenticated with high safety without depending on the environment of a terminal unit.
