         10 . The information processing system according to  claim 2 , wherein the first information is information for calling up an identifier of the operation screen and a setting value that was set on a previous screen before the operation screen. 
     
     
         11 . The information processing system according to  claim 2 , further comprising a web server that provides the application;
 wherein the web server includes
 at least one processor and at least a memory coupled to the at least one processor and having instructions stored thereon, and when executed by the at least one processor, acting as;
 a providing unit configured to provide the screen of the application; and 
 a registering unit configured to register second information in association with the first information, the second information including information indicating the screen of the application to which the transition occurred by performing the operation on the first device; 
 
 wherein, upon transmission of the first information to the second device, the second execution unit accesses the web server by using the first information, and the providing unit provides the first screen to the first device based on the second information associated with the first information. 
   
     
     
         12 . The information processing system according to  claim 11 , wherein the registering unit registers, in association with the first information, an identifier of an operation screen and a setting value that was set on a previous screen before the operation screen. 
     
     
         13 . The information processing system according to  claim 11 , wherein the web server transmits the first information to the first device. 
     
     
         14 . The information processing system according to  claim 11 , further comprising a management server configured to manage the first information;
 wherein the at least one processor and the at least memory further act as;   a storing unit configured to store the first information in association with a uniform resource locator (URL) for accessing the web server;   wherein, upon the transmission of the first information to the second device, the second execution unit acquires the URL associated with the first information and accesses the web server based on the URL.   
     
     
         15 . The information processing system according to  claim 2 , wherein
