  • Patent number: 10063729
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a terminal that includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores authentication-related information indicating that a first cloud completes approval of authentication, which is acquired by a terminal from the first cloud that transmits an instruction to perform a job to a job-performing apparatus of which registration is completed based on an instruction from the terminal, if the registration of the job-performing apparatus is completed. The processor retains the authentication-related information in a storage area if the job-performing apparatus is registered with the first cloud, and, if the authentication-related information is not present in the memory after the approval by the first cloud, acquires the authentication-related information from the storage area.
