Service providing system and service providing method

A service providing method executed in a service providing system that includes one or more information processing apparatuses and is configured to provide a service to a service using apparatus connected to the service providing system via a network, the service providing method comprising:

• a management information storage step of storing management information including an association between service identification information of the service, user identification information of a user using the service, and device identification information of the service using apparatus;
• an authentication step of executing an authentication process using authentication information acquired from the service using apparatus, the authentication information including at least one of user authentication information used for user authentication and device authentication information used for device authentication;
• a service identification step of identifying the service associated with the authentication information based on the management information and the authentication information that has been authenticated in the authentication step;
• and
• an execution step of executing a process according to a use request for the service identified in the service identification step upon acquiring the use request for the service from the service using apparatus;
• wherein the execution step includes determining a content of a predetermined output request acquired from the service using apparatus and controlling output of data according to the output request.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a program stored thereon that is executable by a service providing system including one or more information processing apparatuses and being configured to provide a service to a service using apparatus connected to the service providing system via a network, the program, when executed, causing the service providing system to perform a service providing method comprising:

• a management information storage step of storing management information including an association between service identification information of the service, user identification information of a user using the service, and device identification information of the service using apparatus;
• an authentication step of executing an authentication process using authentication information acquired from the service using apparatus, the authentication information including at least one of user authentication information used for user authentication and device authentication information used for device authentication;
• a service identification step of identifying the service associated with the authentication information based on the management information and the authentication information that has been authenticated in the authentication step;
• and
• an execution step of executing a process according to a use request for the service identified in the service identification step upon acquiring the use request for the service from the service using apparatus;
• wherein the service using apparatus determines a content of a predetermined output request and outputs data acquired by the execution step.
