Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a generation unit that generates plural candidates having different relationships of allocation to plural groups in a case where a relationship in which all prospective participants are allocated to the plural groups is set as a single candidate, a calculation unit that calculates the extent of being similar to plural groups used in each execution of the past group activity for each execution of group activity with respect to each of the plural generated candidates, and a determination unit that determines a candidate used in the present group activity from among the plural generated candidates except a candidate having the highest extent of being similar to each execution of group activity.

Claims (20)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a generation unit that generates a plurality of candidates having different relationships of allocation to a plurality of groups in a case where a relationship in which all prospective participants are allocated to any one of the plurality of groups is set as a single candidate;

a calculation unit that calculates the extent of being similar to a plurality of groups used in each execution of the past group activity for each execution of group activity with respect to each of the plurality of generated candidates; and

a determination unit that determines a candidate used in the present group activity from among the plurality of generated candidates except a candidate having the highest extent of being similar to each execution of group activity.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determination unit specifies a plurality of values of the highest extent of being similar to a plurality of groups used in each execution of the past group activity with respect to the plurality of respective candidates, and excludes a candidate corresponding to the greatest value among the plurality of specified values of the highest extent of being similar from a candidate target used in the present group activity.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the determination unit determines a candidate corresponding to the smallest value among the plurality of specified values of the highest extent of being similar, as a candidate used in the present group activity.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the extent of being similar calculated by the calculation unit is multiplied by a correction coefficient corresponding to an execution, or elapsed time until the current time.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the correction coefficient is given to reduce the extent of being similar more than before correction, as an execution becomes older or elapsed time until the current time becomes longer.

6 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:

a function of generating a plurality of candidates having different relationships of allocation to a plurality of groups in a case where a relationship in which all prospective participants are allocated to any one of the plurality of groups is set as a single candidate;

a function of calculating the extent of being similar to a plurality of groups used in each execution of the past group activity for each execution of group activity with respect to each of the plurality of generated candidates; and

a function of determining a candidate used in the present group activity from among the plurality of generated candidates except a candidate having the highest extent of being similar to each execution of group activity.

7 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

generation means for generating a plurality of candidates having different relationships of allocation to a plurality of groups in a case where a relationship in which all prospective participants are allocated to any one of the plurality of groups is set as a single candidate;

calculation means for calculating the extent of being similar to a plurality of groups used in each execution of the past group activity for each execution of group activity with respect to each of the plurality of generated candidates; and

determination means for determining a candidate used in the present group activity from among the plurality of generated candidates except a candidate having the highest extent of being similar to each execution of group activity.
