OUTPUT SYSTEM, OUTPUT METHOD, OUTPUT DATA STORAGE APPARATUS, AND OUTPUT DATA RELAY APPARATUS

摘要

An output system includes a first system that performs authentication using user information including first authentication information and outputs from an output apparatus output data specified using the first authentication information, and a second system that provides the output data to the first system. The second system includes a storage unit that stores output data in association with pre-authentication information, a unit that provides the pre-authentication information to the first system, and a unit that provides the output data to the first system. The first system includes a storage unit that stores the first authentication information, an authentication unit that performs authentication with respect to the pre-authentication information provided by the second system, a cooperation unit that specifies the output data associated with the pre-authentication information that has been successfully authenticated, and a storage unit that stores the specified output data in association with the first authentication information.

1. An output system comprising:
a first system configured to perform user authentication using user information including first authentication information, and output from an output apparatus output data specified using the first authentication information; and a second system that is distinct from the first system and is configured to store output data received from a terminal apparatus that is operated by a user and provide the output data to the first system; wherein the second system includes
a storage unit configured to receive from the terminal apparatus the output data and pre-authentication information to be authenticated at the first system, and store the output data and the pre-authentication information in association with each other;an authentication information management unit configured to provide the pre-authentication information stored in the storage unit to the first system in response to a request from the first system; andan output data management unit configured to provide the output data stored in the storage unit to the first system in response to a request from the first system; and wherein the first system includes
an authentication information storage unit configured to store the user information including the first authentication information;a first authentication unit configured to perform authentication with respect to the pre-authentication information that is provided by the second system based on the user information including the first authentication information stored in the authentication information storage unit;a cooperation unit configured to specify the output data that is associated with the pre-authentication information that has been successfully authenticated by the first authentication unit as the output data to be output by the first system; andan output data storage unit configured to store the specified output data in association with the first authentication information included in the user information used to authenticate the pre-authentication information that is associated with the specified output data.
