If the registration of the group name has been completed normally, the process proceeds to step S34. If the registration of the group name has not been completed normally, the process proceeds to step S36, a message indicating that registration is not possible is displayed on the operation unit 14, and the process ends.
[0050]
In step S34, it is determined whether registration has been completed for all confirmed confidential boxes. If registration has been completed for all confidential boxes, the process proceeds to step S38. On the other hand, if the registration has not been completed for all the confidential boxes, the process returns to step S28, and the group name registration processing for the next confidential box is performed.
[0051]
For example, since the unregistered confidential boxes of the members of the group with the registration number 2 have the registration numbers 3 and 4, the steps S28 to S32 are repeated, and the user name “fish” indicated by the registration numbers 3 and 4 is repeated. The group name “Work” is registered in association with “raku”. Here, in the example of the confidential box management information in FIG. 5, since the group name “Group” is already registered in the confidential box with the user names “fish” and “raku”, “Group” and “Group” are registered in one confidential box. The two group names “Work” are registered in association with each other.
[0052]
In step S38, a registration end screen indicating that registration to the group management information and the confidential box management information has been normally completed is displayed on the operation unit 14. This ends the processing.
[0053]
