Abstract
An information processing apparatus, present in an intranet, sharing information with an information processing apparatus present in the other intranet connected to the intranet via a network, includes a memory storing the information, and a controller setting the information stored in the memory to an update disabled state in the updating of the information stored in the memory if the information is in an update enabled state, requesting the information processing apparatus sharing the information and present in the other intranet to set an update disabled state, and updating the information on condition that the update disabled state is set in all information processing apparatuses sharing the information and present in the intranets. Updating of the information shared by a plurality of intranets connected to each other via a network is thus synchronized to prevent updating contention.
