Server for device information management system for registering services, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium therefor

A server for a device information management system that includes a terminal device, and a communication device, the server comprising a storage and a controller including hardware, the controller being configured to perform:

• first registering user information indicating a user, first service information indicating a first service to be provided to the user, and authentication information in an associated manner;
• first obtaining a request containing the user information from the terminal device;
• in response to the request, first transmitting the authentication information associated with the request to the terminal device;
• second obtaining target communication device information, indicating a target device and the authentication information received by the terminal device, from the target communication device;
• and
• when an allowance condition defining an association between the first service information associated with the authentication information obtained from the target communication device and the target communication device information is satisfied, registering the target communication device information in the storage with associating the target communication device information with the user information and the first service information both associated with the authentication information obtained from the target communication device,
• wherein, in a second registering, the controller associates the target communication information with the user information and similar service information indicating similar services similar to the first service indicated by the first service information and registers the target communication device information in the storage when the allowance condition is not satisfied.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for a server of a device information management system that includes a terminal device, and a communication device, the server having a storage and a controller including hardware, the recording medium containing computer-executable instructions which cause, when executed by the controller, the server to perform:

• first registering user information indicating a user, first service information indicating a first service to be provided to the user, and authentication information in an associated manner;
• first obtaining a request containing the user information from the terminal device;
• in response to the request, first transmitting the authentication information associated with the request to the terminal device;
• second obtaining target communication device information, indicating a target device and the authentication information received by the terminal device, from the target communication device;
• second registering the target communication device information in the storage in association with the user information associated with the authentication information obtained from the target communication device and the first service information associated with the authentication information obtained from the target communication device;
• and
• when an allowance condition defining an association between the first service information associated with the authentication information obtained from the target communication device and the target communication device information is satisfied, registering the target communication device information in the storage with associating the target communication device information with the user information and the first service information both associated with the authentication information obtained from the target communication device,
• wherein, in the second registering, the controller associates the target communication information with the user information and similar service information indicating similar services similar to the first service indicated by the first service information and registers the target communication device information in the storage when the allowance condition is not satisfied.
