Abstract
A device communicably connected to one or more storage servers via a network includes circuitry. The circuitry acquires storage setting information including a setting relating to at least one storage server to be used by a user who is identified through a user authentication process. The circuitry acquires application operation information including a setting relating to operation of an application that operates on the device, the application operation information being associated with identification information of the user. The circuitry communicates with one storage server that is set by the application operation information, based on the setting relating to the at least one storage server included in the storage setting information.
Claims10
A device communicably connected to one or more storage servers via a network, the device comprising circuitry to:
- acquire storage setting information including a setting relating to at least one storage server to be used by a user who is identified through a user authentication process;
- acquire application operation information including a setting relating to operation of an application that operates on the device, the application operation information being associated with identification information of the user;
- and
- communicate with one storage server that is set by the application operation information, based on the setting relating to the at least one storage server included in the storage setting information.
A method for controlling a link between one or more storage servers and a device on which an application operates, the method being performed by the device in accordance the application, comprising:
- acquiring storage setting information including a setting relating to at least one storage server to be used by a user who is identified through a user authentication process;
- acquiring application operation information including a setting relating to operation of the application, the application operation information being associated with identification information of the user;
- and
- communicating with one storage server that is set by the application operation information, based on the setting relating to the at least one storage server included in the storage setting information.
A device coordination system comprising a device on which an application operates and an information processing apparatus that provides a device coordination service for controlling a link between the device and one or more storage servers, the system comprising:
- circuitry to:
- storing storage setting information including a setting relating to at least one storage server to be used by a user who is identified through a user authentication process;
- storing application operation information including a setting relating to operation of the application, the application operation information being associated with identification information of the user;
- and
- controlling a link between the device and at least one storage server that is set by the application operation information, based on the setting relating to the at least one storage server included in the storage setting information.
