Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and method of processing information

An information processing apparatus, communicable with one or more intermediary apparatuses communicable with one or more output apparatuses, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• circuitry configured to
• receive, from a terminal, specific information and a process execution request input to the terminal, the specific information being displayed on a specific output apparatus of the one or more output apparatuses before being input into the terminal;
• identify a specific intermediary apparatus associated with the specific output apparatus on which the specific information is displayed based on the received specific information in accordance with the process execution request, and
• transmit the process execution request to the identified specific intermediary apparatus,
• the identified specific intermediary apparatus being configured to perform processing in accordance with the process execution to control the specific output apparatus,
• wherein the circuitry is further configured to periodically change the specific information and transmit the changed specific information to the specific intermediary apparatus so that the specific output apparatus sequentially displays different specific information at different times.

A method of processing information using an information processing apparatus, communicable with one or more intermediary apparatuses communicable with one or more output apparatuses, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a terminal, specific information and a process execution request input to the terminal, the specific information being displayed on a specific output apparatus of the one or more output apparatuses before being input into the terminal;
• identifying a specific intermediary apparatus associated with the specific output apparatus on which the specific information is displayed based on the received specific information in accordance with the process execution request;
• and
• transmitting the process execution request to the identified specific intermediary apparatus,
• the identified specific intermediary apparatus being configured to perform processing in accordance with the process execution to control the specific output apparatus,
• wherein the method further comprises periodically changing the specific information and transmitting the changed specific information to the specific intermediary apparatus so that the specific output apparatus sequentially displays different specific information at different times.
