Abstract
A relay server includes: a device identification information acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a second terminal device, identification information on an image forming device that is included in a code image, the code image being attached to the image forming device and read by the second terminal device; and a printing controller configured to acquire, from a first printing service system, a printing job designated to use a predetermined virtual device registered in the first printing service system and transmit a request to a second printing service system to cause the image forming device identified by the identification information to execute printing for the printing job.
Claims17
A server connected to a first printing service system and a second printing service system, the second printing service system being connected to an image forming device, the server comprising:
- a device identification information acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a terminal device, identification information on the image forming device that is included in a code image, the code image being attached to the image forming device and read by the terminal device;
- and
- a printing controller configured to acquire, from the first printing service system, a printing job designated to use a predetermined virtual device registered in the first printing service system and transmit a request to the second printing service system to cause the image forming device identified by the identification information to execute printing for the printing job.
A printing system comprising:
- a first printing service system;
- an image forming device;
- a second printing service system connected to the image forming device;
- and
- a server connected to the first printing service system and the second printing service system, wherein
- the server includes
- a device identification information acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a terminal device, identification information on the image forming device that is included in a code image, the code image being attached to the image forming device and read by the terminal device, and
- a printing controller configured to acquire, from the first printing service system, a printing job designated to use a predetermined virtual device registered in the first printing service system and transmit a request to the second printing service system to cause the image forming device identified by the identification information to execute printing for the printing job.
An information processing method causing a server connected to a first printing service system and a second printing service system, the second printing service system being connected to an image forming device, to
- acquire, from a terminal device, identification information on the image forming device that is included in a code image, the code image being attached to the image forming device and read by the terminal device, and
- acquire, from the first printing service system, a printing job designated to use a predetermined virtual device registered in the first printing service system and transmit a request to the second printing service system to cause the image forming device identified by the identification information to execute printing for the printing job.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program causing a computer of a server connected to a first printing service system and a second printing service system, the second printing service system being connected to an image forming device, to execute:
- a device identification information acquisition step of acquiring, from a terminal device, identification information on the image forming device that is included in a code image, the code image being attached to the image forming device and read by the terminal device;
- and
- a printing control step of acquiring, from the first printing service system, a printing job designated to use a predetermined virtual device registered in the first printing service system and transmit a request to the second printing service system to cause the image forming device identified by the identification information to execute printing for the printing job.
