Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a first receiving unit that receives pieces of user information on a plurality of users from a plurality of information processing terminals used by the users; an authentication processing unit that performs authentication processing of the users based on the pieces of user information; a first generating unit that generates screen information on a screen used to operate the information processing apparatus for each of the authenticated users; and a first transmitting unit that transmits the screen information to the information processing terminals used by the users corresponding thereto.

Claims (38)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

circuitry configured to receive user information from each of a plurality of information processing terminals used by a plurality of users,

perform authentication processing of the users based on the user information,

generate screen information on a screen used to operate the information processing apparatus for each of the authenticated users, and

transmit the screen information to the information processing terminals used by the users corresponding thereto, wherein the circuitry generates the screen information including login information indicating the users who are authenticated and are logging in the information processing apparatus.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the screen is a screen to be displayed on a display of the information processing terminals used by the users.

3. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a first receiving unit that receives user information from each of a plurality of information processing terminals used by a plurality of users;

an authentication processing unit that performs authentication processing of the users based on the user information;

a first generating unit that generates screen information on a screen used to operate the information processing apparatus for each of the authenticated users;

a first transmitting unit that transmits the screen information to the information processing terminals used by the users corresponding thereto;

an executing unit that performs processing corresponding to commands;

a second receiving unit that receives the commands indicating processing to be performed by the executing unit from the information processing terminals; and

a command processing unit that causes the executing unit to perform the processing corresponding to the received commands, wherein

the first generating unit generates the screen information including standby information indicating a standby state of the commands based on a command yet to be completed out of the received commands.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a second display unit that displays the screen, wherein

the second receiving unit receives end information indicating that display of the screen on a first display unit of the information processing terminals is finished from the information processing terminals, and

the command processing unit performs control such that, at least from when the screen information is transmitted to the information processing terminals to when the end information is received from the information processing terminals, the screen of the screen information is not displayed on the second display unit.

5. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a first receiving unit that receives user information from each of a plurality of information processing terminals used by a plurality of users;

an authentication processing unit that performs authentication processing of the users based on the user information;

a first generating unit that generates screen information on a screen used to operate the information processing apparatus for each of the authenticated users; and

a first transmitting unit that transmits the screen information to the information processing terminals used by the users corresponding thereto, wherein

the first generating unit generates the screen information for each of the users based on a use history of the information processing apparatus of the users.

6. An information processing system comprising:

a plurality of information processing terminals; and

an information processing apparatus connected to the information processing terminals, wherein

the information processing apparatus includes first circuitry that

receives user information from each of the information processing terminals used by a plurality of users,

performs authentication processing of the users based on the user information,

generates screen information on a screen used to operate the information processing apparatus for each of the authenticated users, and

transmits the screen information to the information processing terminals used by the users corresponding thereto, and

the information processing terminals include second circuitry that

that transmits the user information to the information processing apparatus,

receives the screen information from the information processing apparatus, and

displays the screen corresponding to the screen information, wherein

the first circuitry generates the screen information including login information indicating the users who are authenticated and are logging in the information processing apparatus.
