Abstract
A first cloud server, that provides a first cloud cooperation service, executes instructions to: receive, from an image forming apparatus, a first acquisition request to acquire a print job; acquire information on a first print job managed by the first cloud cooperation service; acquire, from a second cloud server, information on a second print job managed by a second cloud cooperation service and information on a third print job managed by a first print service cooperating with the second cloud cooperation service; and transmit a print job list including the information on the first print job, the information on the second print job, and the information on the third print job to the image forming apparatus.
Claims8
A cloud server that provides a first cloud cooperation service, the cloud server comprising:
- at least one memory that stores instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that, when executing the instructions, executes the instructions to:
- receive, from an image forming apparatus, a first acquisition request to acquire a print job;
- acquire information on a first print job managed by the first cloud cooperation service;
- transmit, to a second cloud server that provides a second cloud cooperation service cooperating with the first cloud cooperation service, a second acquisition request to acquire information on a second print job managed by the second cloud cooperation service and information on a third print job managed by a first print service cooperating with the second cloud cooperation service;
- acquire the information on the second print job and the information on the third print job from the second cloud server;
- and
- transmit a print job list including the information on the first print job, the information on the second print job, and the information on the third print job to the image forming apparatus.
A cloud system including a first cloud server and a second cloud server, the first cloud server providing a first cloud cooperation service and a second cloud server providing a second cloud cooperation service,
- wherein the first cloud server
- receives, from an image forming apparatus, a first acquisition request to acquire a print job;
- acquires information on a first print job managed by the first cloud cooperation service;
- transmits, to the second cloud server that provides the second cloud cooperation service, a second acquisition request to acquire information on a second print job managed by the second cloud cooperation service and information on a third print job managed by a first print service cooperating with the second cloud cooperation service;
- acquires the information on the second print job and the information on the third print job from the second cloud server;
- and
- transmits a print job list including the information on the first print job, the information on the second print job, and the information on the third print job to the image forming apparatus, and
- wherein the second cloud server
- receives the second acquisition request from the first cloud server;
- acquires the information on the second print job managed by the second cloud cooperation service;
- acquires the information on the third print job managed by the first print service;
- and
- transmits the acquired information on the second print job and the acquired information on the third print job to the first cloud server.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions, wherein the instructions cause at least one processor of a first cloud server to:
- receive, from an image forming apparatus, a first acquisition request to acquire a print job;
- acquire information on a first print job managed by a first cloud cooperation service provided by the first cloud server;
- transmit, to a second cloud server providing a second cloud cooperation service cooperating with the first cloud cooperation service, a second acquisition request to acquire information on a second print job managed by the second cloud cooperation service and information on a third print job managed by a first print service cooperating with the second cloud cooperation service;
- acquire the information on the second print job and the information on the third print job from the second cloud server;
- and
- transmit a print job list including the information on the first print job, the information on the second print job, and the information on the third print job, to the image forming apparatus.
