Information processing apparatus performing setting of application in client device, information processing system including same, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing setting tool program

An information processing system comprising an information processing apparatus and a server apparatus,

• wherein the information processing apparatus includes:
• a control circuit configured to operate as a setting tool that performs setting of an application installed in a client device by executing a setting tool program;
• a display device includes a touch panel;
• and
• a storage device registers device information of a client device,
• wherein the setting tool includes:
• an application setter configured to perform setting of an application in a client device;
• and
• a server synchronizer configured to synchronously register the client device on which setting has been performed by the application setter in the server apparatus that manages a client device which is provided with a function of the application with the setting performed on the client device by the application setter as a trigger,
• wherein, the application setter is configured to:
• cause the display device to display a device list indicating device information of a registered client device, a first icon to register a new client device, and a second icon to update the device list,
• detect, when an operation of a user on the first icon is detected through the touch panel, the new client device new connected to the information processing apparatus via a network and registers device information of the new client device in the storage device, and
• add, when an operation of a user on the second icon is detected through the touch panel, the device information of the new client device to the device list,
• the server synchronizer is configured to synchronously register the new client device in the server apparatus with registration of the new client device to the storage device by the application setter as a trigger.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a setting tool program, the setting tool program causing a control circuit of an information processing apparatus, which i including a display device includes a touch panel and a storage device registers device information of a client device, to operate as a setting tool,

• wherein the setting tool operates as:
• an application setter configured to perform setting of an application in a client device;
• and
• a server synchronizer configured to synchronously register the client device on which setting has been performed by the application setter in a server apparatus that manages a client device which is provided with a function of the application with the setting performed on the client device by the application setter as a trigger,
• wherein, the application setter is configured to:
• cause the display device to display a device list indicating device information of a registered client device, a first icon to register a new client device, and a second icon to update the device list,
• detect, when an operation of a user on the first icon is detected through the touch panel, the new client device new connected to the information processing apparatus via a network and registers device information of the new client device in the storage device, and
• add, when an operation of a user on the second icon is detected through the touch panel, the device information of the new client device to the device list,
• the server synchronizer is configured to synchronously register the new client device in the server apparatus with registration of the new client device to the storage device by the application setter as a trigger.
