Information processing system, information processing method and computer program product

An information processing method comprising:

• converting, by an information processing apparatus that can communicate with a device, second data in a second format, different from a first format processable for the device, to generate first data in the first format;
• sending the first data from the information processing apparatus to the device;
• receiving, by the information processing apparatus, from the device, information indicating an operation to a screen, which is displayed on a display of the device based on the first data;
• and
• sending from the information processing apparatus to the device, an instruction to perform processing related to the operation indicated by the information, the processing being defined in the second data, wherein
• the receiving of the information indicating the operation to the screen by the information processing apparatus being performed in parallel with the device acquiring third data that is an object to be processed in the processing performed in accordance with the instruction, via a network without passing through the information processing apparatus, the receiving by the information processing apparatus and the acquiring by the device being performed in response to the device sending the information indicating the operation to the screen to the information processing apparatus.

A non transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer executable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to perform a method, the method comprising:

• converting, by the information processing apparatus, second data in a second format, different from a first format processable for a device, to generate first data in the first format;
• sending the first data from the information processing apparatus to the device;
