Abstract

An information processing system includes: a setting processing processor that registers, based on setting information acquired from a storage device through a first communication path, the storage device as a storage device capable of presenting specific information to a user terminal; an acquisition processing processor that acquires, when the storage device is registered by the setting processing processor, the specific information corresponding to a request acquired from the user terminal, through a second communication path different from the first communication path; and a presentation processing processor that presents the specific information acquired with the acquisition processing processor to the user terminal.

Claims (42)

1. An information processing system that presents specific information stored in a storage device to a user terminal, the information processing system comprising:

a setting circuit that registers, based on setting information acquired from the storage device through a first communication path, the storage device as a storage device capable of presenting the specific information to the user terminal;

an acquisition circuit that acquires, when the storage device is registered by the setting circuit, the specific information corresponding to a request acquired from the user terminal, through a second communication path different from the first communication path;

a presentation circuit that presents the specific information acquired by the acquisition circuit to the user terminal; and

a communication circuit that:

issues, when the storage device is registered by the setting circuit, first authentication information to the storage device,

acquires, from the storage device, a request to construct the second communication path, and

constructs the second communication path when second authentication information corresponding to the request to construct the second communication path agrees with the first authentication information.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an authentication circuit that authenticates a user of the user terminal,

wherein the acquisition circuit acquires, when the user is authenticated by the authentication circuit, the specific information through the second communication path.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a server that is connected to the storage device,

wherein the storage device includes:

a system region that includes a storage which stores the setting information and the specific information; and

a virtual machine that includes a first communicator which is connected to the first communication path and a second communicator which is connected to the second communication path, and

the storage device transmits the setting information from the first communicator through the first communication path to the server and transmits the specific information from the second communicator through the second communication path to the server.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the virtual machine further includes a second storage that stores first authentication information which is issued by the server and which is authenticated when the second communication path is constructed.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first communication path is a communication path corresponding to an Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) communication protocol, and

the second communication path is a communication path corresponding to a WebSocket communication protocol.

6. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the storage device is a Network attached storage (NAS).

7. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein when an authentication code, input by a user, for registering the storage device agrees with an authentication code that has been transmitted to the user terminal, the communication circuit issues the first authentication information to the storage device, thereafter, upon inputting a predetermined password by the user, receives, from the storage device using the first communication path, a request to construct the second communication path including the second authentication information, and constructs the second communication path when the second authentication information issued to the storage device agrees with the first authentication information received from the storage device.

8. An information processing method that presents specific information stored in a storage device to a user terminal,

wherein one or a plurality of processors execute:

registering, based on setting information acquired from the storage device through a first communication path, the storage device as a storage device capable of presenting the specific information to the user terminal;

acquiring, when the storage device is registered by, the specific information corresponding to a request acquired from the user terminal, through a second communication path different from the first communication path;

presenting the acquired specific information to the user terminal;

issuing, when the storage device is registered, first authentication information to the storage device;

acquiring, from the storage device, a request to construct the second communication path; and

constructing the second communication path when second authentication information corresponding to the request to construct the second communication path agrees with the first authentication information.

9. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that records an information processing program which presents specific information stored in a storage device to a user terminal,

wherein the recording medium records the information processing program for instructing one or a plurality of processors to execute:

registering, based on setting information acquired from the storage device through a first communication path, the storage device as a storage device capable of presenting the specific information to the user terminal;

acquiring, when the storage device is registered, the specific information corresponding to a request acquired from the user terminal; through a second communication path different from the first communication path;

presenting the acquired specific information to the user terminal;

issuing, when the storage device is registered, first authentication information to the storage device;

acquiring, from the storage device, a request to construct the second communication path; and

constructing the second communication path when second authentication information corresponding to the request to construct the second communication path agrees with the first authentication information.
