Abstract

A communication mediation device comprises a communication device, a storage device, and a controller. The communication device communicates with an image processing device and a cloud service. The storage device stores a predetermined code, cloud service information and an access token, in association with user identification information. The controller logs into, when the communication device has received information sent from the image processing device and the received information has matched the predetermined code, the cloud service indicated by the cloud service information corresponding to the user identification information corresponding to the predetermined code using the access token corresponding to the user identification information and provides a notification of the cloud service logged in through the communication device to the image processing device.

Claims (18)

1 . A communication mediation device comprising:

a communication device communicating with an image processing device executing image processing and a cloud service for storing data in cloud storage;

a storage device storing a predetermined code, cloud service information indicating the cloud service, and an access token, in association with user identification information; and

a controller including a processor and, through the processor executing a communication mediation program,

logging into, when the communication device has received information sent from the image processing device and the received information has matched the predetermined code, the cloud service indicated by the cloud service information corresponding to the user identification information corresponding to the predetermined code using the access token corresponding to the user identification information and providing a notification of the cloud service logged in through the communication device to the image processing device.

2 . The communication mediation device according to claim 1 , wherein the storage device stores the access token of each of a plurality of cloud services in association with the user identification information.

3 . The communication mediation device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller logs into all cloud services corresponding to respective access token using the respective access token when the plurality of cloud services and the access token corresponding thereto have been identified for the user identification information.

4 . A computer-readable non-transitory recording medium storing a communication mediation program for causing a computer including a communication device communicating with an image processing device executing image processing and a cloud service for storing data in cloud storage; a storage device; and a processor to function, when the processor executes the communication mediation program, as a controller,

wherein the controller,

causes the storage device to store a predetermined code, cloud service information indicating the cloud service, and an access token, in association with user identification information; and

logging into, when the communication device has received information sent from the image processing device and the received information has matched the predetermined code, the cloud service indicated by the cloud service information corresponding to the user identification information corresponding to the predetermined code using the access token corresponding to the user identification information and providing a notification of the cloud service logged in through the communication device to the image processing device.

5 . A communication mediation system comprising:

an image processing device configured to execute image processing; and

a communication mediation device comprising:

a communication device communicating with the cloud service for storing data in cloud storage and the image processing device;

a storage device storing a predetermined code, cloud service information indicating the cloud service, and an access token, in association with user identification information; and

a controller including a processor and, through the processor executing a communication mediation program,

logging into, when the communication device has received information sent from the image processing device and the received information has matched the predetermined code, the cloud service indicated by the cloud service information corresponding to the user identification information corresponding to the predetermined code using the access token corresponding to the user identification information and providing a notification of the cloud service logged in through the communication device to the image processing device.
