Abstract
An information processing apparatus is provided that includes a first selection unit configured to select a workflow for executing at least one process with respect to data; an acquisition unit configured to acquire from a terminal, which includes an access function for accessing a storage service, authentication information used by the terminal upon using the storage service; and an instruction unit configured to instruct an execution of a communication process of exchanging the data with the storage service using the authentication information acquired by the acquisition unit in a case where the workflow selected by the first selection unit includes the communication process.
Claims16
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor, in communication with a memory, executing steps of
- selecting a workflow with respect to data;
- acquiring authentication information used for accessing a storage service from a terminal which can access the storage service;
- and
- instructing an execution of a communication process of exchanging the data with the storage service using the authentication information when the workflow selected includes the communication process.
An information processing system comprising:
- an information processing apparatus operated by a user;
- at least one service providing apparatus configured to provide a storage service;
- a mobile terminal including an access function for accessing the storage service;
- a server apparatus including a workflow for executing at least one process with respect to data;
- and
- a processor, in communication with a memory, executing steps of
- selecting the workflow with respect to the data;
- acquiring authentication information used for accessing the storage service from the mobile terminal which can access the storage service;
- and
- instructing an execution of a communication process of exchanging the data with the service providing apparatus using the authentication information when the workflow selected includes the communication process.
An information processing method implemented by an information processing system including an information processing apparatus operated by a user, at least one service providing apparatus that provides a storage service, a mobile terminal including an access function for accessing the storage service, a server apparatus including a workflow for executing at least one process with respect to data, and a processor, in communication with a memory, for executing the information processing method comprising:
- a selection step of selecting the workflow with respect to the data;
- an acquisition step of acquiring authentication information used for accessing the storage service from the mobile terminal which can access the storage service;
- and
- an instruction step of instructing an execution of a communication process of exchanging the data with the service providing apparatus using the authentication information when the workflow selected includes the communication process.
