Abstract
An image processing apparatus for providing at least a service to a service requester receives a service execution request and authentication information of a service requester from the service requester and issues a request for authenticating the service requester to an authentication service. Also, the image processing apparatus executes the requested service based on an authentication result transmitted from the authentication service. Further, the image processing apparatus manages an execution state of the executed service and an authentication state of the service requestor by associating the execution state with the authentication state.
Claims16
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive a service execution request and authentication information of a service requestor from the service requester;
- an authentication request issuing unit configured to issue a request for authenticating the service requester by using the authentication information to an authentication service based on the reception of the service execution request by the receiving unit;
- an execution unit configured to execute a service requested by the service requestor based on an authentication result that is received from the authentication service as a response to the authentication request issued by the authentication request issuing unit;
- and
- a management unit configured to manage an execution state of the service executed by the execution unit and an authentication state of the service requestor by associating the execution state with the authentication state.

A method for controlling an image processing apparatus, comprising:
- receiving a service execution request and authentication information of a service requestor from the service requestor;
- issuing a request for authenticating the service requester by using the authentication information to an authentication service based on the reception of the service execution request;
- executing a service requested by the service requestor based on an authentication result that is received from the authentication service as a response to the authentication request issued in the authentication request issuing step;
- and
- managing an execution state of the service executed in the execution step and an authentication state of the service requester by associating the execution state with the authentication state.
