Abstract
A processing system includes a processing apparatus that performs processing by using consumables, and a server system that manages a service related to the consumables. The processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires first information about a consumption amount of a currently used consumable, a first updating unit that, based on the acquired first information, updates second information about a cumulative consumption amount of the consumable used by the processing apparatus stored in a first storage unit, and a transmission unit that transmits the updated second information to the server system. The server system includes a reception unit that receives the second information from the processing apparatus, and a first determination unit that determines whether to provide a service based on the second information received by the reception unit and the second information previously received from the processing apparatus which is stored in a second storage unit.
