  • Patent number: 9912837
    Abstract: An information processing terminal transmits, to an authentication server, information obtained by imaging a code pattern of multifunction device information, and authentication information inputted by a user. The authentication server performs user authentication based on the received authentication information and specifies a multifunction device based on the received information of the code pattern. If the user has been authenticated, the authentication server transmits print data corresponding to the user to the multifunction device and prescribes the execution of print processing to the multifunction device. The multifunction device executes print process based on the obtained print data.

  • Patent number: 8599415
    Abstract: An information processing system including a multifunction peripheral for reading a document according to a profile set by a user. A host server stores the profile and a management section registers and deletes the profile. An information processing terminal has a setting processing section for providing the profile being set by the user to the management section. The storage section preliminarily stores an identification code for management. The setting processing section acquires an identification code for determination and provides that code to the management section prior to profile registration. The management section compares the identification code for determination with the identification code for management to register the profile provided by the information processing terminal without a time limit when the codes match or register the profile with a time limit when the codes do not match to delete the profile when the time limit elapses.
