Abstract
The present invention provides an information processing apparatus capable of dynamically changing a security level according to significance of overall data saved in a terminal. A portable telephone terminalincludes a lock function to inhibit (allow) use of predetermined functions (part of or all of the functions) of the terminal when a lock-in condition (an unlock condition) is satisfied. The terminalincludes a secret level evaluating sectionfor calculating a secret level of the overall apparatus on the basis of scores set respectively to saved data items and a lock-in condition setting sectionfor making, in response to the secret level, the lock-in condition (unlock condition) more mitigated or more severe. Due to the configuration, for example, when significant data is received, the secret level of the overall terminal increases and the lock-in condition (unlock condition) is made more mitigated (more severe).
