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

An information processing apparatus communicable with a user terminal, the information processing apparatus comprising:

• a storage configured to store, in association with each other, identification information identifying a service provided by the information processing apparatus, and information on an application that executes processing related to the service;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to
• receive identification information from the user terminal, the identification information having been obtained from an extraneous source by the user terminal;
• determine an application, corresponding to the received identification information, based on the received identification information and the identification information stored in the storage;
• and
• transmit information for accessing the determined application to the user terminal, wherein
• the information on the application stored in the storage includes at least one of:
• first information on a first application for uploading image data, and
• second information on a second application for causing a device to execute output processing of the uploaded image data.

An information processing method, comprising:

• storing, in a storage of an information processing apparatus that is communicable with a user terminal, in association with each other, identification information identifying a service provided by the information processing apparatus, and information on an application that executes processing related to the service;
• receiving, by processing circuitry of the information processing apparatus, identification information from the user terminal, the identification information having been obtained from an extraneous source by the user terminal;
• determining, by the processing circuitry, an application corresponding to the received identification information, based on the received identification information and the identification information stored in the storage;
• and
• transmitting information for accessing the determined application to the user terminal, wherein
• the information on the application stored in the storage includes at least one of:
• first information on a first application for uploading image data, and
• second information on a second application for causing a device to execute output processing of the uploaded image data.
