Abstract
A function of a device is displayed as a first display on a client device, and local user authentication information is displayed as a second display according to the function of the device selected on the first display on the client device.
Claims16
An information processing system comprising:
- at least one processor and at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to act as:
- a cloud system included in the information processing system and including a first management unit configured to manage a plurality of pieces of local user authentication information in association with one piece of cloud user authentication information and in association with a plurality of functions of a printer executed using each of the plurality of pieces of local user authentication information;
- the printer included in the information processing system and including a second management unit configured to manage the one piece of cloud user authentication information in association with the plurality of pieces of local user authentication information;
- a display control unit configured to display the plurality of functions of the printer managed in association with one piece of authenticated cloud user authentication information on a first screen after a cloud user logs in to the cloud system using the one piece of cloud user authentication information via a client device included in the information processing system, and display the plurality of pieces of local user authentication information managed in association with a selected function on a second screen after the function is selected on the first screen;
- a first transmission unit configured to transmit an execution request for using the function selected on the first screen and a piece of local user authentication information selected on the second screen to the printer;
- an execution unit with which the printer executes processing corresponding to the function selected on the first screen based on the execution request and the local user authentication information transmitted by the first transmission unit;
- and
- a second transmission unit configured to transmit to the cloud system an execution result in response to the execution request and the cloud user authentication information managed in association with the local user authentication information by the second management unit.
