Abstract
An information processing system, a data transfer method, and a recording medium. The information processing system transfers data to storage that is a transfer destination and in response to a data transfer request from a device, the information processing system transfers the data with reference to distribution settings information that designates a storage location of the data in the storage.
Claims10
An information processing system comprising:
- circuitry configured to
- determine whether a data transfer function of a device is active, and
- transfer data to storage that is a transfer destination, wherein
- the data transfer function of the device is
- determined as active in a case where flag information stored in a device memory of the device indicates that the data transfer function is active, and
- determined as inactive in a case where in a case where the flag information indicates that the data transfer function is not active,
- the circuitry performs an authentication process to authenticate the device in a case where the data transfer function of the device is determined as inactive, the authentication process including
- transmitting a request for a list of licenses for the data transfer function, the request for the list of licenses including a device identification number,
- receiving a list of licenses transmitted in response to the request for the list of licenses, and
- determining whether the device has a license for the data transfer function,
- the device transmits a data transfer request in a case where the device has the license for the data transfer function, and
- the circuitry is configured to transfer the data with reference to distribution settings information that designates a storage location of the data in the storage in response to the data transfer request.
A data transfer method comprising:
- determining whether a data transfer function of a device is active, wherein
- the data transfer function of the device is
- determined as active in a case where flag information stored in a device memory of the device indicates that the data transfer function is active, and
- determined as inactive in a case where the flag information indicates that the data transfer function is not active,
- the circuitry performs an authentication process to authenticate the device in a case where the data transfer function of the device is determined as inactive, the authentication process including
- transmitting a request for a list of licenses for the data transfer function, the request for the list of licenses including a device identification number,
- receiving a list of licenses transmitted in response to the request for the list of licenses, and
- determining whether the device has a license for the data transfer function,
- transmitting a data transfer request from the device in a case where the device has the license for the data transfer function, and
- transferring data to storage that is a transfer destination of the data with reference to distribution settings information that designates a storage location of the data in response to the data transfer request.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable code for controlling a computer system to carry out a data transfer method comprising:
- determining whether a data transfer function of a device is active, wherein
- the data transfer function of the device is
- determined as active in a case where flag information stored in a device memory of the device indicates that the data transfer function is active, and
- determined as inactive in a case where the flag information indicates that the data transfer function is not active,
- the circuitry performs an authentication process to authenticate the device in a case where the data transfer function of the device is determined as inactive, the authentication process including
- transmitting a request for a list of licenses for the data transfer function, the request for the list of licenses including a device identification number,
- receiving a list of licenses transmitted in response to the request for the list of licenses, and
- determining whether the device has a license for the data transfer function, and
- transmitting a data transfer request from the device in a case where the device has the license for the data transfer function, and
- transferring data to storage that is a transfer destination of the data with reference to distribution settings information that designates a storage location of the data in response to the data transfer request.
