  • Patent number: 11316992
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an extractor, a creator, and a sender. The extractor compares items of capability information concerning plural devices and extracts a capability which is not sufficiently provided in a first device but is provided in a second device. The plural devices include the first and second devices. The creator creates a menu to be used in the first device. The first device is able to display the capability extracted by the extractor by using an icon in a mode different from an icon representing another capability and to display device information which indicates that the capability is available in the second device. The sender sends the menu to the first device.

  • Patent number: 10754695
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives a process request for processing data, and a controller that, in response to receipt of a process request by the receiving unit, assigns a process to one of a first processing group including a processing unit that processes data, and a second processing group in which one or more processing units can be placed, the processing unit included in the first processing group including a number of processing units less than a predetermined upper limit number. The controller preferentially activates and assigns a process to the processing units included in the first processing group, and if the controller receives a process request that the processing units included in the first processing group are unable to fully process, the controller places a processing unit in the second processing group and assigns a process to the processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20200167600
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a positioning information obtainer, a level-of-importance obtainer, a degree-of-agreement obtainer, and a calculator. The positioning information obtainer obtains information on positions of statements in an argument. The level-of-importance obtainer obtains levels of importance of the statements for a claim in the argument in accordance with the positions of the statements. The degree-of-agreement obtainer obtains a degree of agreement indicating a degree to which participants in the argument agree on each of the statements. The calculator calculates a degree of claim agreement of the claim and a degree of claim certainty of the claim from the levels of importance and the degrees of agreement on the statements. The degree of claim agreement indicates a degree to which the participants in the argument agree on the claim. The degree of claim certainty indicates a degree of certainty of the claim.
