Relay apparatus, communication apparatus, control methods thereof, system, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium
First Claim
1. A relay apparatus capable of relaying communication between a communication apparatus and an authorization server, the relay apparatus comprising:
- a display unit;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing code to be executed by the at least one processor, whereinthe at least one processor executes the code to function as;
a first display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display a user authentication screen requiring a user to input user authentication information to be used for user authentication in a case where the relay apparatus receives an authorization request sent from the communication apparatus through first wireless communication;
a first sending unit configured to send, to the authorization server, user authentication information which is inputted by the user on the user authentication screen,a second display control unit configured to cause the display unit to display an access authority granting screen requiring the user to input whether or not to authorize the communication apparatus in a case where a user authentication process succeeds at the authorization server based on the user authentication information sent by the first sending unit;
a receiving unit configured to receive an authorization response sent from the authorization server in a case where authorizing the communication apparatus is inputted by the user on the access authority granting screen; and
a second sending unit configured to send, to the communication apparatus, the authorization response received by the receiving unit through the first wireless communication.

Abstract
A relay apparatus, capable of relaying communication between a communication apparatus and a server, communicates with the communication apparatus and the server through first wireless communication, and carries out control for determining whether or not to permit the communication apparatus to communicate with the server through the first wireless communication in response to a request received from the communication apparatus, that is based on a predetermined protocol. The relay apparatus sends the request to the server and receives data written in a predetermined format as a response to the request, and carries out the control based on the data.

12. A control method for a relay apparatus capable of relaying communication between a communication apparatus and an authorization server, the method comprising:
-
displaying on a display unit of the relay apparatus a user authentication screen requiring a user to input user authentication information to be used for user authentication in a case where the relay apparatus receives an authorization request sent from the communication apparatus through first wireless communication; sending, to the authorization server, user authentication information which is inputted by the user on the user authentication screen; displaying on the display unit of the relay apparatus an access authority granting screen requiring the user to input whether or not to authorize the communication apparatus in a case where a user authentication process succeeds at the authorization server based on the user authentication information; receiving an authorization response sent from the authorization server in a case where authorizing the communication apparatus is inputted by the user on the access authority granting screen; and sending, to the communication apparatus, the authorization response through the first wireless communication.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a method of a relay apparatus capable of relaying communication between a communication apparatus and an authorization server, the method comprising:
-
displaying on a display unit of the relay apparatus a user authentication screen requiring a user to input user authentication information to be used for user authentication in a case where the relay apparatus receives an authorization request which is sent from the communication apparatus and the server through first wireless communication; sending, to the authorization server, user authentication information which is inputted by the user on the user authentication screen; displaying on the display unit of the relay apparatus an access authority granting screen requiring the user to input whether or not to authorize the communication apparatus in a case where a user authentication process succeeds at the authorization server based on the user authentication information; receiving an authorization response which is sent from the authorization server in a case where authorizing the communication apparatus is selected by the user in the access authority granting screen; and sending, to the communication apparatus, the authorization response through the first wireless communication.
