Server Transmitting Device Information Assigned to Service Identification Information

摘要

A server receives access request from an information processing apparatus. The access request includes address information of a source web page. The access request is generated in response to reception of the source web page. The server receives authentication information from the information processing apparatus to authenticate the information processing apparatus, and receives display request from the authenticated information processing apparatus. The display request is for displaying, by the information processing apparatus, a set of device information in a storage. In response to the display request, the server determines whether the address information in the received access request indicates the service-providing apparatus or the server by referring to the first and second address information, and when the address information indicates the service-providing apparatus, transmits to the information processing apparatus, at least one set of device information assigned to the service identification information indicating a service that a service-providing apparatus provides.

主权项

1. A server comprising:
a communication interface configured to communicate with an information processing apparatus, a plurality of image processing apparatuses, and a service-providing apparatus, each of the plurality of image processing apparatuses being configured to process an image, the service-providing apparatus being configured to provide a service using one of the plurality of image processing apparatuses; a storage; and a processor, wherein the storage is configured to store:
first authentication information;a plurality of sets of device information respectively identifying the plurality of image processing apparatuses, the plurality of sets of device information being assigned with the first authentication information;service identification information for identifying the service that the service-providing apparatus is configured to provide, the service identification information being assigned with one of the plurality of sets of device information;first address information of a first web page provided by the service-providing apparatus;second address information for a second web page provided by the server; andinstructions, when executed by the processor, cause the server to: receive access request from the information processing apparatus via the communication interface, the access request being for accessing the server and including address information of a source web page, the access request being generated in response to reception of the source web page; receive second authentication information from the information processing apparatus via the communication interface to authenticate the information processing apparatus; authenticate the information processing apparatus when the received second authentication information is determined to match the stored first authentication information; receive display request via the communication interface from the authenticated information processing apparatus using the second authentication information, the display request being for displaying, by the information processing apparatus, a set of device information from among the plurality of sets of device information stored in the storage; in response to the display request, determine whether the address information of the source web page in the received access request indicates the service-providing apparatus or the server by referring to the first address information and the second address information; and when the address information of the source web page indicates the service-providing apparatus, transmit to the information processing apparatus via the communication interface, at least one set of device information assigned to the service identification information indicating the service that the service-providing apparatus is configured to provide from among the plurality of sets of device information stored in the storage in association with the second authentication information that is determined to match the first authentication information.
