System, method for processing information, and information processing apparatus

A method for processing information by a system comprising an information terminal, an information processing apparatus, and one or more devices that execute processing of data received from the information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• displaying a screen in which at least one piece of history information stored in a memory that stores therein history information that associates the device that executed the processing, the processed data, and identification of a conference session for which the processed data was created with each other, wherein the history information includes a specific image data file name or document file name that represents a piece of information that was outputted or processed during a conference session at a previous time, the history information being displayed and used for causing the device to execute processing based on the history information selected from the displayed at least one piece of history information;
• generating instruction information for instructing the device to execute processing of data corresponding to the history information selected from the at least one piece of history information on the screen displayed at the displaying;
• executing the processing of the data based on the instruction information generated at the generating;
• and
• recording the device that executed the processing and the processed data in the memory as the history information based on the instruction information for instructing the processing of the data executed at the executing.

An information processing apparatus connected to one or more devices that execute processing of received data and an information terminal via a network, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a memory configured to store therein history information that associates the device that executed the processing, the processed data, and identification of a conference session for which the processed data was created with each other, wherein the history information includes a specific image data file name or document file name that represents a piece of information that was outputted or processed during a conference session at a previous time;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to
• generate instruction information for instructing the device to execute processing of data corresponding to the history information selected from at least one piece of history information displayed on a screen in which at least one piece of information is displayed and be used for causing the device to execute processing based on the history information selected from the displayed at least one piece of history information;
• and
• record the device that executed the processing and the processed data in the memory as the history information based on the instruction information for instructing the processing of the data executed by a processing executing unit that executes the processing of the data based on the generated instruction information.
