Abstract
In an information processing system, a management server transmits identified setting data and identified local server information to an authenticated information processing apparatus, and, when acquiring content data according to an instruction included in the setting data acquired from the management server, the information processing apparatus accesses a local server with use of the local server information acquired from the management server and acquires the content data managed by the local server.
Claims10
An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus;
- a management server configured to manage setting data including an instruction to install content data including at least one of an application for implementing a function of the information processing apparatus and firmware for causing the application to operate;
- and
- a local server configured to manage at least a part of the content data,
- wherein the management server includes:
- an identification unit configured to identify, based on a request from the information processing apparatus, the setting data and local server information including authentication information for accessing the local server;
- and
- an authentication unit configured to authenticate the information processing apparatus,
- wherein the management server transmits the setting data and the local server information identified by the identification unit to the information processing apparatus authenticated by the authentication unit, and
- wherein, when acquiring the content data according to an instruction included in the setting data acquired from the management server, the information processing apparatus accesses the local server with use of the local server information acquired from the management server and acquires the content data managed by the local server.
A control method for an information processing system including an information processing apparatus, a management server configured to manage setting data including an instruction to install content data including at least one of an application for implementing a function of the information processing apparatus and firmware for causing the application to operate, and a local server configured to manage at least a part of the content data, the control method comprising:
- via the management server, identifying, based on a request from the information processing apparatus, the setting data and local server information including authentication information for accessing the local server, and authenticating the information processing apparatus;
- via the management server, transmitting the identified setting data and the identified local server information to the authenticated information processing apparatus;
- and
- via the information processing apparatus, when acquiring the content data according to an instruction included in the setting data acquired from the management server, accessing the local server with use of the local server information acquired from the management server and acquiring the content data managed by the local server.
