Abstract

An information processing system including: a network device, use of which by a user is permitted beforehand for a period set beforehand; and an information processing apparatus that manages first information for identifying the user and second information for identifying the network device in connection with each other, wherein the information processing apparatus includes a first processor configured to prepare a temporary account in correlation with the network device corresponding to the second information in a case where an application for use including the first information and the second information is received, and notify information to be used to authenticate the prepared temporary account to a portable terminal used by the user to make the application, and the network device includes a second processor configured to apply operational setting prepared in the portable terminal for the temporary account in a case where the information to be used to authenticate the temporary account is acquired.

Claims (52)

1 . An information processing system comprising:

a network device, use of which by a user is permitted beforehand for a period set beforehand; and

an information processing apparatus that manages first information for identifying the user and second information for identifying the network device in connection with each other,

wherein the information processing apparatus includes a first processor configured to

prepare a temporary account in correlation with the network device corresponding to the second information in a case where an application for use including the first information and the second information is received, and

notify information to be used to authenticate the prepared temporary account to a portable terminal used by the user to make the application, and

the network device includes a second processor configured to

apply operational setting prepared in the portable terminal for the temporary account in a case where the information to be used to authenticate the temporary account is acquired, wherein the information processing apparatus manages registered information that includes a period of use in correlation with the first information.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first processor is configured to acquire the operational setting for the network device as a target for the application from the portable terminal and apply the operational setting to the network device in a case where the temporary account is prepared.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 2 ,

wherein a range of the operational setting to be applied to the network device is determined in accordance with a function that the user is permitted to use.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 2 ,

wherein a range of the operational setting to be applied to the network device is determined in accordance with a function for which the user made the application through the portable terminal.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the operational setting to be applied to the network device is determined in accordance with a request from the network device.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first processor is configured to delete the temporary account related to the user in a case where the period for which the use by the user is permitted has elapsed.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first processor is configured to instruct the network device corresponding to the temporary account to delete the setting.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first processor is configured to cause a display section of the network device, or a display section of the portable terminal carried by the user, to display a screen that requests confirmation of deletion of the setting from the network device each time the use by the user is terminated, the setting being used in the use by the user.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second processor is configured to acquire the operational setting for the network device directly from the portable terminal carried by the user, and set the operational setting for the network device.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 9 ,

wherein the second processor is configured to delete the operational setting registered in correlation with the temporary account related to the user in a case where the period for which the use by the user corresponding to the temporary account is permitted has elapsed.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 9 ,

wherein the second processor is configured to cause a display section of the network device, or a display section of the portable terminal carried by the user, to display a screen that requests confirmation of deletion of the setting each time the use by the user is terminated, the setting being used in the use by the user.

12 . An information processing system comprising:

a network device, use of which by a user is permitted beforehand for a period set beforehand; and

an information processing apparatus that manages first information for identifying the user and second information for identifying the network device in connection with each other,

wherein the information processing apparatus includes a first processor configured to

instruct the network device corresponding to the second information to prepare a temporary account in a case where an application for use including the first information and the second information is received, and

when information to be used to authenticate the prepared temporary account is received from the network device, notify the received information to a portable terminal used by the user corresponding to the first information to make the application, and

the network device includes a second processor configured to

prepare the temporary account on a basis of an instruction from the information processing apparatus, and

apply operational setting prepared in the portable terminal for the temporary account in a case where the information to be used to authenticate the temporary account is acquired, wherein the information processing apparatus manages registered information that includes a period of use in correlation with the first information.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 12 ,

wherein the second processor is configured to receive a notification of deletion of the temporary account, or a notification of a period for which use of the temporary account is permitted, from the information processing apparatus.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 12 ,

wherein the second processor is configured to manage information related to use of the temporary account on a basis of information included in the instruction to prepare the temporary account.

15 . The information processing system according to claim 14 ,

wherein the second processor is configured to notify, in a case where a change related to use of the temporary account is received, the information processing apparatus of the received change.

16 . An information processing system comprising:

a network device, use of which by a user is permitted beforehand for a period set beforehand; and

an information processing apparatus that manages first information for identifying the user and second information for identifying the network device in connection with each other,

wherein the information processing apparatus includes a first processor configured to

prepare a temporary account after management of the first information and the second information is started, and

notify a portable terminal carried by the user of information to be used to authenticate the prepared temporary account, and

the network device includes a second processor configured to

transmit, in a case where the information to be used to authenticate the temporary account is acquired, the acquired information to the information processing apparatus, and

apply operational setting prepared in the portable terminal for the temporary account in a case where a success in authentication is received from the information processing apparatus, wherein the information processing apparatus manages registered information that includes a period of use in correlation with the first information.
