Abstract:
1. A browsing management apparatus comprising: a memory portion that stores a content used in a conference, an e-mail address of each participant who has participated in the conference and a password authenticating the each participant in association with each other; a location information generating portion that generates a first URL by including an access ID generated to identify the each participant and identify that an acquisition request acquiring the content is from a participant in the conference into a second URL indicating a memory location of the memory portion that stores the content; a controlling portion that (i) extracts the access ID included in the received acquisition request and determines whether the participant indicated by the access ID is already being logged in when the acquisition request requesting the content that designates the first URL recorded in a transmitted e-mail is received, (ii) transmits an input request of the password of the participant to the terminal device that outputs the acquisition request and performs a user authentication when not being logged in, (iii) transmits the requested content to the terminal device when the user authentication is successful, (iv) determines whether an elapsed time after being logged in has passed a given time when the participant indicated by the access ID is being logged in, and (v) blocks access with the terminal device that outputs the acquisition request and logs out when the given time has passed, wherein the controlling portion rejects an another acquisition request requesting the content when the another acquisition request includes a same access ID, the same access ID containing identification information already transmitted in the acquisition request requesting the content to the terminal device, and wherein the controlling portion counts a number of logout times to the first URL and rejects the access to the first URL when the number of the counted logout times reaches a predetermined effective number of times.
