Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a first communication unit that performs communication, through a communication unit that permits a given limited communication, with a control device which receives a first request from the information processing apparatus and which transmits a first result of a first processing about the first request to the information processing apparatus;
• a second unit that accepts the first request, transmits the first request to the control device, and receives the first result from the control device;
• a second communication unit that performs communication with the control device;
• a third unit that determines whether the received first result includes an instruction to request the control target device to perform a processing, and when it is determined that the first result includes the instruction, requests the control target device to perform the processing.

A computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer connected to a control device and a control target device to execute a process for information processing in an information processing apparatus, the process comprising:

• performing communication, through a communication unit that permits a given limited communication, with a control device which receives a first request from the information processing apparatus and which transmits a first result of a first processing about the first request to the information processing apparatus;
• accepting the first request;
• transmitting the first request to the control device;
• receives the first result from the control device;
• performing communication with the control device;
• determining whether the received first result includes an instruction to request the control target device to perform a processing
• requesting the control target device to perform the processing when it is determined that the first result includes the instruction.
