Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives an additional service that is to be added to the information processing apparatus and is not configured for a grant setting of information collection and a controller that, if usage information on the information processing apparatus that is configured for the grant setting of the information collection is similar to usage information on the additional service, performs control to configure at least part of the grant setting of the information collection related to the usage information on the information processing apparatus to be the grant setting of the information collection related to the additional service.

Claims (16)

1 . An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a receiving unit that receives an additional service that is to be added to the information processing apparatus and is not configured for a grant setting of information collection; and

a controller that, if usage information on the information processing apparatus that is configured for the grant setting of the information collection is similar to usage information on the additional service, performs control to configure at least part of the grant setting of the information collection related to the usage information on the information processing apparatus to be the grant setting of the information collection related to the additional service.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein if a degree of similarity between a type of the usage information on the information processing apparatus and a type of the usage information on the additional service satisfies predetermined criteria, the controller determines that the usage information on the information processing apparatus is similar to the usage information on the additional service.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein if a plurality of types of the usage information on the information processing apparatus includes a number of types of the usage information on the additional service with the number of types being equal to or above a threshold value, the controller determines that the degree of similarity satisfies the predetermined criteria.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the controller uses an index indicating a degree of importance configured for each of the types of the usage information on the information processing apparatus in order to determine whether the degree of similarity satisfies the predetermined criteria.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a display controller that displays a verification screen that is used to verify whether at least part of the grant setting of the information collection related to the usage information on the information processing apparatus is configurable to be the grant setting of the information collection related to the additional service.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein if usage information related to service out of the usage information on the information processing apparatus is not similar to usage information related to service out of the usage information on the additional service and usage information other than the usage information related to the service out of the usage information on the information processing apparatus is similar to usage information other than the usage information related to the service out of the usage information on the additional service, the display controller causes the verification screen to be displayed.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein if specific usage information determined as having a higher degree of importance out of the usage information on the information processing apparatus is included in the usage information on the additional service, the display controller causes the verification screen to be displayed.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the verification screen indicating that an addition of the additional service to the information processing apparatus is complete is caused to be displayed by the display controller.

9 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit that receives an additional service that is to be added to the information processing apparatus and is not configured for a grant setting of information collection; and

a controller that, if an existing service of the information processing apparatus that is configured for the grant setting of the information collection is similar to the additional service, performs control to configure at least part of the grant setting of the information collection related to the existing service to be the grant setting of the information collection related to the additional service.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:

receiving an additional service that is to be added to an information processing apparatus and is not configured for a grant setting of information collection; and

if an existing service of the information processing apparatus that is configured for the grant setting of the information collection is similar to the additional service, performing control to configure at least part of the grant setting of the information collection related to the existing service to be the grant setting of the information collection related to the additional service.
