Information processing system, information processing apparatus, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a storage unit configured to store, with respect to each application, application identification information identifying the application for executing a series of processes using electronic data in cooperation with an external service and information relating to the series of processes in association with each other;
• a receiving unit configured to receive from a device connected to the information processing apparatus, a request including first authentication information acquired by the device from an authentication infrastructure, the application identification information, and information relating to designated electronic data that has been designated by a user at the device;
• an acquisition unit configured to acquire second authentication information for using the external service based on the first authentication information included in the request that has been received by the receiving unit;
• and
• an execution unit configured to execute a process based on the information relating to the series of processes that is stored in the storage unit in association with the application identification information included in the request that has been received by the receiving unit, the process being executed with respect to the designated electronic data that is identified based on the information relating to the designated electronic data included in the request, and the execution unit using the second authentication information that has been acquired by the acquisition unit to execute the process.

An information processing method that is implemented by an information processing system including a storage unit configured to store, with respect to each application, application identification information identifying the application for executing a series of processes using electronic data in cooperation with an external service and information relating to the series of processes in association with each other, the information processing method comprising:

• a receiving step of receiving from one device among one or more devices that are connected to the information processing system, a request including first authentication information acquired by the one device from an authentication infrastructure, the application identification information, and information relating to designated electronic data that has been designated by a user at the one device;
• an acquisition step of acquiring second authentication information for using the external service based on the first authentication information included in the request that has been received in the receiving step;
• and
• an execution step of executing a process based on the information relating to the series of processes that is stored in the storage unit in association with the application identification information included in the request that has been received in the receiving step, the process being executed with respect to the designated electronic data that is identified based on the information relating to the designated electronic data included in the request, and the execution step using the second authentication information that has been acquired in the acquisition step to execute the process.
