The authority management server 20 is connected to the internal network in the office. The authority management server 20 manages the authority of various functions such as a camera function, a microphone function, a voice output function, and an authentication function by NFC (abbreviation of Near Field Communication) provided in the mobile terminal 10. Specifically, the authority management server 20 manages whether various functions such as a camera function, a microphone function, a voice output function, and an NFC authentication function provided in the mobile terminal 10 are turned on or off. ing.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 10 participates in a meeting or a meeting on behalf of the person himself / herself by installing the mobile terminal 10 in the office instead of the telework user who works at home or the like in a place away from the office. You can also talk to other users in the office. That is, the user A working at home can realize communication with other users in the office by depositing the mobile terminal 10 in the user B working in the office.

FIG. 2 shows how the user A communicates with the users B and C by using the camera function, the microphone function, the voice output function such as a speaker, and the display function of the mobile terminal 10. There is.

Further, in recent years, due to increasing security awareness, authentication control of multifunction devices and authentication control that limits entry and exit to a specific area by a door gate to a specific user have become common.

A typical example of such authentication control is authentication control using a contactless IC card, which is used by touching an employee ID card, a student ID card, or the like with an IC card reader provided in a multifunction device or a door gate. Authentication control is performed to identify the person. Specifically, by touching an IC card such as an employee ID card to an IC card reader such as a multifunction device, the authentication information held in the IC card is read out and the authentication process is executed, and the user is specified.
