Abstract

According to an information processing method, a device to be accessed is designated, an operation screen is downloaded by accessing the designated device, and information that is entered by a user during the display of an operation screen is transmitted to the designated device as operating information. Therefore, the execution of a process at another device and the employment of a job stored in another device are facilitated. In addition, when designated devices are accessed and logged in, the identifiers for those devices are registered in a device list, and thus, when logout is instructed, since all devices whose identifiers are registered in the device list will be logged out, all the devices that were logged in are logged out.
