Information processing system and processing method thereof
First Claim
1. An information processing system that executes a cooperative job that is executed by cooperation between a plurality of information processing apparatuses that have an authentication function, comprising:
- a source cooperative information processing apparatus comprising;
an input unit configured to input authentication information which is to be authenticated by a destination cooperative information processing apparatus for executing a cooperative job; and
a transmission unit configured to transmit authentication information that is input by the input unit to the destination cooperative information processing apparatus, andthe destination cooperative information processing apparatus comprising;
an authentication unit configured to perform authentication based on the authentication information transmitted by the transmission unit; and
a notification unit configured to notify the source cooperative information processing apparatus of a result of authentication by the authentication unit, andwherein the source cooperative information processing apparatus further comprises;
a creation unit configured to create, when a result to the effect that authentication succeeded is notified by the notification unit, account information based on authentication information that is input by the input unit; and
a management unit configured to perform management of the cooperative job using account information created by the creation unit, andwherein the cooperative job includes that the destination cooperative information processing apparatus transmits image data transmitted from the source cooperative information processing apparatus using a facsimile transmitting function, andwherein each of the input unit, the transmission unit, the creation unit and the management unit is implemented by using one or more processors, and each of the authentication unit and the notification unit is implemented by using one or more processors.

Abstract
When a plurality of information processing apparatuses having an authentication function executes a cooperative job, user authentication information is transmitted from a cooperative information source processing apparatus to a destination cooperative information processing apparatus that executes the cooperative job. It is determined whether or not a user account with authentication information that is the same as the transmitted authentication information exists in the destination cooperative information processing apparatus. The determined result is then notified to the cooperative information source processing apparatus. In this case, when the cooperative information source processing apparatus is notified that a user account with the same authentication information does not exist, the cooperative information source processing apparatus creates a user account based on the authentication information. Authentication is performed using the created user account, and the cooperative job is executed by the cooperative information source processing apparatus and the destination cooperative information processing apparatus.

6. A processing method of an information processing system that executes a cooperative job that is executed by cooperation between a plurality of information processing apparatuses that have an authentication function, the method comprising:
-
using a source cooperative information processing apparatus to perform; inputting authentication information which is to be authenticated by a destination cooperative information processing apparatus for executing a cooperative job; and transmitting the input authentication information to the destination cooperative information processing apparatus, and using the destination cooperative information processing apparatus to perform; performing based on the authentication information that is transmitted; and notifying a result of the authentication to the source cooperative information processing apparatus, and wherein the method further comprises; using the source cooperative information processing apparatus to perform; creating account information based on the input authentication information, when a result to the effect that authentication succeeded is notified; and managing of the cooperative job using the account information that is created, and wherein the cooperative job includes that the destination cooperative information processing apparatus transmits image data transmitted from the source cooperative information processing apparatus using a facsimile transmitting function.
