20130097686 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, USER DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A mediation service accepts a coordination instruction for coordinating a web application server with a coordination device from a web browser, generates a script to be authenticated by an authentication method corresponding to the server, and transmits the generated script to the coordination destination service providing system indicated by the coordination instruction. The web browser transmits authentication information or an authentication token, which is obtained in response to an input operation on an authentication information input screen displayed by execution of the script, to the coordination device. Then, the coordination device receives and saves the authentication information or the authentication token. | 04-18-2013 |
20130332930 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A flow service server group manages a job consisting of multiple tasks generated according to a user request, and a task server acquires a task included in the aforementioned managed job if a processing standby status exists, and carries out specific task processing. The task server notifies the flow service server group at a fixed interval that task processing is in progress. The flow service server group then issues a command to the task server that has not completed task processing within a prescribed time to suspend the task processing, and issues a command to a task server capable of task processing that is identical to the task processing to alternatively execute the task processing. | 12-12-2013 |
