Abstract

An information processing system includes a controller configured to control information of which is notified to a mobile terminal. The controller performs control to cause a notification unit to notify the mobile terminal of first information in a case where the mobile terminal in a first environment has succeeded in authentication with the first authentication method, notify the mobile terminal of the first information and second information in a case where the mobile terminal in a second environment has succeeded in the authentication with the first authentication method, and notify the mobile terminal of the first information and the second information in a case where the mobile terminal in the first environment has succeeded in the authentication with the first authentication method and has further succeeded in authentication with the second authentication method.

Claims (28)

1. An information processing system, comprising:

an image processing apparatus configured to receive image data from an external apparatus;

a mobile terminal configured to accept first authentication information to be used in a first authentication method and second authentication information to be used in a second authentication method different from the first authentication method, the second authentication method being a two-step authentication; and

a server communicable with the mobile terminal, comprising:

a network interface that receives, from the mobile terminal, information indicating an authentication state, for a user of the mobile terminal, in the information processing system and information indicating a place of the mobile terminal, the place being specified by an IP address of the mobile terminal; and

a controller that notifies the mobile terminal of information;

wherein the controller determines, based on the information indicating the authentication state and the information indicating the place of the mobile terminal, whether the controller notifies the mobile terminal of first information without second information or the controller notifies the mobile terminal of the first information and the second information, the second information being transmission source information of the image data, and the first information being information indicating that the image processing apparatus has received the image data,

wherein the controller determines that the controller notifies the mobile terminal of the first information without the second information in a case where the network interface receives, from the mobile terminal, information indicating that the place of the mobile terminal is an individual home and information indicating that the authentication state, for the user of the mobile terminal, in the information processing system is a state of successful authentication with the first authentication method,

wherein the controller determines that the controller notifies the mobile terminal of the first information and the second information in a case where the network interface receives, from the mobile terminal, information indicating that the place of the mobile terminal is an office and information indicating that the authentication state, for the user of the mobile terminal, in the information processing system is the state of successful authentication with the first authentication method, and

wherein the controller determines that the controller notifies the mobile terminal of the first information and the second information in a case where the network interface receives, from the mobile terminal, information indicating that the place of the mobile terminal is the individual home and information indicating that the authentication state, for the user of the mobile terminal, in the information processing system is a state of successful authentication with the second authentication method,

wherein the first authentication information is information about an element and the second authentication information is information about another element.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the information indicating the place of the mobile terminal includes positional information for the mobile terminal.

3. The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the individual home is an environment for connecting to an external network.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the server and the mobile terminal are communicable via an application program, and

wherein at least the first authentication method is performed using the application program.

5. The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case where the mobile terminal using the application program in the individual home further performs authentication with the second authentication method after being notified only of first event information, the controller further notifies the mobile terminal of second event information.

6. A method for controlling an information processing system in which a server, a mobile terminal and an image processing apparatus are communicable, the method comprising:

causing the image processing apparatus to receive image data from an eternal apparatus;

causing the mobile terminal to accept first authentication information to be used in a first authentication method;

causing the mobile terminal to accept second authentication information to be used in a second authentication method different from the first authentication method, the second authentication method being a two-step authentication;

causing the server to receive, from the mobile terminal, information indicating an authentication state, for a user of the mobile terminal, in the information processing system and information indicating a place of the mobile terminal, the place being specified by an IP address of the mobile terminal;

causing the server to notify the mobile terminal of information; and

causing the server to determine, based on the information indicating the authentication state and the information indicating the place of the mobile terminal, whether the server notifies the mobile terminal of first information without second information or the server notifies the mobile terminal of the first information and the second information, the second information being transmission source information of the image data, and the first information being information indicating that the image processing apparatus has received the image data,

wherein the server determines that the server notifies the mobile terminal of the first information without the second information in a case where the server receives, from the mobile terminal, information indicating that the place of the mobile terminal is an individual home and information indicating that the authentication state, for the user of the mobile terminal, in the information processing system is a state of successful authentication with the first authentication method,

wherein the server determines that the server notifies the mobile terminal of the first information and the second information in a case where the server receives, from the mobile terminal, information indicating that the place of the mobile terminal is an office and information indicating that the authentication state, from the user of the mobile terminal, in the information processing system is the state of successful authentication with the first authentication method, and

wherein the server determines that the server notifies the mobile terminal of the first information and the second information in a case where the server receives, from the mobile terminal, information indicating that the place of the mobile terminal is the individual home and information indicating that the authentication state, for the user of the mobile terminal, in the information processing system is a state of successful authentication with the second authentication method, and

wherein the first authentication information is information about an element and the second authentication information is information about another element.
