A service providing system includes a first apparatus including at least one agent unit that is connected to a service providing a pre-configured function over the Internet, and an execution unit that has first attribute data including state information about the first apparatus and setting information about a function of the first apparatus, and uses the first attribute data to execute an instructed function in cooperation with the agent unit, in a case of receiving the instruction regarding execution of the function; and a second apparatus including a shadow execution unit that has second attribute data corresponding to the first attribute data and executes the instruction received from the service and a process requested by the execution unit, in which through a first connection provided between the execution unit and the shadow execution unit, the execution unit checks whether there is a message generated by the shadow execution unit, acquires the message in a case where there is the message, and delivers the message to the agent unit represented by identification information attached to the message, and the agent unit to which the message is delivered acquires information necessary for executing a function from the service, through a second connection provided between the agent unit and the associated service, and executes the instructed function.

Service providing system

An information processing apparatus includes a processing unit that performs a process, a controller that performs a control operation to cause the processing unit to perform the process requested by a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from a display apparatus that displays process results of the process, and a notification unit that notifies the display apparatus of the process results through communication different from an HTTP response responsive to the HTTP request having requested the process to be performed.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system, information processing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus includes following components. A memory stores user identification information identifying a user, terminal identification information identifying a terminal used as a user interface of the information processing apparatus, and operational context information indicating a status of an operation performed on the terminal in association with one another. An execution unit executes a process. A memory controller controls, in response to the user switching the terminal from a first terminal to a second terminal, the memory to change the terminal identification information from information identifying the first terminal to information identifying the second terminal. The transmission unit transmits, in response to occurrence of information to be displayed in relation to the process started in response to an operation on the first terminal, display information used to display a window corresponding to the operational context information to the second terminal if the terminal identification information has been changed.

An information processing apparatus includes a first receiving unit that receives authentication information from software that functions as a web client through a first communication path using a first communication protocol; a transmitting unit that, if authentication using the received authentication information is successful, permits communication through the first communication path, and transmits access permission information to the software through the first communication path; a second receiving unit that receives an establishment request for a second communication path using a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol, from the software; and an establishing unit that, if the transmitted access permission information is included in the received establishment request, establishes the second communication path to the software.
