Abstract

A data processing system including a data processing apparatus, includes a user data storing unit that stores user data of a user who uses a first service, the user data including first authentication data used for logging in the first service and user specifying data; a determining unit that determines, when the user who uses the first service sets second authentication data used for logging in a second service different from the first service, user specifying data usable as the second authentication data from the user specifying data included in the user data; and a management unit that sets the user specifying data determined to be usable as the second authentication data in the user data of the user who uses the first service as the second authentication data, and manages the user data as user data of the user who uses the first service and the second service.

Claims

1. A data processing system including a data processing apparatus, comprising:

a user data storing unit that stores user data of a user who uses a first service, the user data including first authentication data used for logging in the first service and user specifying data;

a determining unit that determines, when the user who uses the first service sets second authentication data used for logging in a second service different from the first service, user specifying data usable as the second authentication data from the user specifying data included in the user data; and

a management unit that sets the user specifying data determined to be usable as the second authentication data in the user data of the user who uses the first service as the second authentication data, and manages the user data as user data of the user who uses the first service and the second service.

2. The data processing system according to claim 1, further comprising a selection accepting unit,

wherein the user specifying data included in the user data is one or more address data,

wherein the selection accepting unit accepts a selection of address data used as the second authentication data from the address data,

wherein the determining unit determines whether the address data accepted by the selection accepting unit is usable as the second authentication data.

3. The data processing system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a screen generating unit that generates log-in screens for accepting an input of the first authentication data and the second authentication data, respectively, and displays the generated log-in screens in a switchable manner.

4. The data processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the first authentication data includes tenant data, data identifying a user and password data, and

wherein the second authentication data includes address data and password data.

5. A data processing apparatus comprising:

a user data storing unit that stores user data of a user who uses a first service, the user data including first authentication data used for logging in the first service and user specifying data;

a determining unit that determines, when the user who uses the first service sets second authentication data used for logging in a second service different from the first service, user specifying data usable as the second authentication data from the user specifying data included in the user data; and

a management unit that sets the user specifying data determined to be usable as the second authentication data in the user data of the user who uses the first service as the second authentication data, and manages the user data as user data of the user who uses the first service and the second service.

6. A log in method performed in a data processing system including a data processing apparatus, comprising:

a step of storing user data of a user who uses a first service, the user data including first authentication data used for logging in the first service and user specifying data in a user data storing unit;

a step of determining, when the user who uses the first service sets second authentication data used for logging in a second service different from the first service, user specifying data usable as the second authentication data from the user specifying data included in the user data performed by determining unit; and

a step of setting the user specifying data determined to be usable as the second authentication data in the user data of the user who uses the first service as the second authentication data, and managing the user data as user data of the user who uses the first service and the second service performed by a management unit.
