  • Patent number: 11394844
    Abstract: An authentication system includes a shared terminal; and at least one information processing apparatus coupled to the shared terminal via a communication network. The shared terminal includes an authentication controller configured to, upon detecting that the shared terminal is activated, acquire authentication screen data, from the at least one information processing apparatus, for authentication performed for using an internal function of the shared terminal, display an authentication screen based on the acquired authentication screen data, and transmit, to the at least one information processing apparatus, input information that is input to the displayed authentication screen by a user; and an internal function operator configured to display a screen for using the internal function of the shared terminal, upon acquiring information indicating that an authentication process, which is performed based on the input information at the at least one information processing apparatus, is successful.
